From one dakini to another: Lady Yeshe Tsogyel to Mandarava 🌺
OM AH HUNG!
O Dakini, you have attained an immortal vajra body —
Your body dances in the sky like a rainbow
And with skill you move unimpeded through concrete form.
You have destroyed the devil Lord of Death
And conquered the devil Embodiment;
You are liberated from the bo***ge of passion
And you have annihilated the Godling Devil:
You are surely a Dakini Mistress of Life.
You have attained the Body of Pure Pleasure by means of all the best elixirs
In the three realms beneath the Highest Heaven.
Mandarava, Magnificent Symbol of Emptiness,
Mother of beings, to you I bow down.
To human beings with the constant karma of rebirth and death,
Treading the waterwheel of continual delusion,
You close the door of descent;
May this prayer to emulate you be fulfilled.
Karma exhausted, worldly pleasure at an end, all taint of delusion erased,
The three realms and all of samsara extinguished, and all fictional projection withdrawn,
Sealed by pleasure in the sphere of pure pleasure,
May we be one with Kuntuzangpo's pure pleasure.
