Ho !
 ♫♥♫ Appearance and existence, samsara and nirvana
 have all one base,
 but two paths yield two results.
 They are wonderful display of awareness or ignorance.
 With the wish-fulfilling prayer of Samantababhadra
 may all be truly accomplished and enlightened
 in the palace of Dharmadhatu.

♫♥♫ The base of everything is unformed.
 Self-existing wide space beyond expression
 has no name of samsara and nirvana.
 When you realize this you are a Buddha.
 When you don’t realize this,
 you are in samsara wandering sentient being.
 May all beings of three realms
 realize the nature of inexpressible base.

♫♥♫ Also I, Samantabhadra have realized the nature of the base
 without causes and circumstances.
 This is in the base self-existing awareness
 not obscured by mistakes of outside and inside,
 with confirmation or rejections,
 not covered with the darkness of inattention.
 Therefore this self-existing display is not obscured by mistakes.

♫♥♫ For one who remains in the state of self-awareness
 there is no fear, even if the three existences are destroyed.
 There is also no attachment toward five desired qualities.
 In self-existing knowledge without concepts
 there are no material forms and five poisons.

♫♥♫ Pure aspect of awareness is unimpeded,
 has one essence and Five Wisdoms.
 When these five wisdoms ripens
 there appear five original Buddha families.
 By expansion of their wisdoms
 forty two Buddhas manifest.
 By appearing powers of five wisdoms
 sixty Blood-drinking manifest.

♫♥♫ Therefore was the base of awareness never confused.
 With this wish-granting prayer of primordial Buddha
 may all sentient beings of three realms of samsara
 realize self-existing awareness
 and may then great primordial awakening
 expand until the end into all directions.

♫♥♫ My manifestations are continuous
 and I manifest in hundred millions
 for them who are to be tamed.
 With my compassionate wish-granting prayer
 may all sentient beings of three realms of samsara
 escape from the six classes of beings.

♫♥♫ At the beginning confused sentient beings
 did not recognize the base.
 They remained apathetic without any thoughts.
 This unawareness is the cause of confusion,
 from which faint suddenly appear
 and then obscure state of consciousness full of panic.
 From this is born attachment toward oneself
 and enmity toward others.
 This pattern of behavior becomes stronger and stronger
 and causes entrance into the tradition of samsara.
 This further causes expansion of five poisons disturbing emotions.
 Actions of five poisons are endless.

♫♥♫ Unawareness, arising from the inattentiveness of sentient beings
 is the base of all confusion.
 May with my wish-granting prayer of the Buddha
 all recognize self-awareness. 

♫♥♫ Innate ignorance is inattentive consciousness and disturbance.
 Conceptual ignorance is attachment
 to duality of oneself and others.
 Both innate and conceptual ignorance
 are the basis for confusion of all sentient beings.
 With this prayer, Buddha´s wish-granting prayer
 may thick darkness of unawareness
 of all sentient beings in samsara be enlightened,
 on duality attached awareness be purified
 and may all recognize their own true nature of awareness.

♫♥♫ Dualistic mind is always in doubt.
 Because of subtle attachment
 pattern of behavior become condensed and strong.
 Food, riches, clothing, home, friends,
 five wishing things, nearest beloved
 are yearned and demanded and with this suffering is created.
 All this is worldly confusion.
 Paternal behavior of attachment and fixation are inexhausting.
 When the results of attachment ripens
 you are born as intoxicated, lustful and miserly hungry ghost.
 How sad are their hunger and thirst !
 With my Buddha´s wish-granting prayer
 may all sentient beings with lust and attachment
 neither reject outer painful demands
 nor be attached to inside demands,
 but relax the mind in its natural state,
 mastering the natural state of awareness
 and realize all-encompassing wisdom.

♫♥♫ When outer objects appear,
 subtle consciousness of fear arise.
 From this comes the pattern of behavior of anger
 which becomes stronger and stronger.
 Then you firmly attach yourself to hostility image
 and let yourself in wild fighting and killing.
 When the fruit of hatred ripens
 you suffer in hell, boiling and burning.
 May with my wish-granting prayer of the Buddha
 all sentient beings of six realms
 when in them strong anger arises
 neither accept nor reject it
 but relax in their natural state,
 thus mastering the natural state of awareness
 and realizing the wisdom of clarity.

♫♥♫ When your own mind is arrogant,
 thoughts of competition and humiliation arise.
 When you allow strong pride to arise,
 you and others will know the suffering of quarreling.
 When the fruit of this karma ripens,
 you are born as god with knowing of change and fall.
 May with the wish-granting prayer of the Buddha
 all beings in whom arrogance appears,
 in this moment relax their consciousness in natural state,
 thus mastering the natural state of awareness
 and realizing true nature of tranquility.

♫♥♫ When the paternal behavior
 of strong dualistic attachment arises,
 with pains of self-aggrandizement and humiliating others
 and with the power of quarreling and jealous competing mind,
 you will be born in the realm of murdering jealous gods
 and as a result of this you will fall into hell realm.
 With the wish-granting prayer of the Buddha
 may all in whom thoughts of competition and quarreling appear
 not hold on the picture of enemy,
 but relax in natural state,
 thus mastering the natural state of awareness
 and accomplish the wisdom of unimpeded activity.

♫♥♫ With the fog of inattentiveness, indifference and distraction,
 stupidity and forgetfulness,
 faint laziness and ignorance,
 you will as result of this wander without refuge
 in the realm of animals.
 With the wish-granting prayer of me, the Buddha
 may in the darkness of stupidity and indifference
 the splendor of pure attention shine
 and may the wisdom without concepts be realized.

♫♥♫ Primordial base of all sentient beings
 is the same as mine, the Buddha .
 Yet they have entered in the ground of confusion and unawareness
 and now they perform useless actions.
 Six activities are like illusion of the dream.
 I am the primordial Buddha
 who is with manifestations taming six classes of beings
 and with this always excellent wish-granting prayer
 may all sentient beings without exception
 realize enlightenment in the Dharmadhatu.

♫♥♫ A Ho !
 From now on, if with powers endowed yogin with clear awareness
 and without confusion recites this wonderful wish-granting prayer,
 all sentient beings who will hear it, will in three lifetimes
 realize enlightenment.

♫♥♫ By solar or lunar eclipse, by loud noises and earth quakes,
 by sun solstices and equinoxes and at the end of a year
 one must visualize oneself as Samantabhadra. If one is reciting
 the prayer hearable by all, all sentient beings of three realms
 will become gradually liberated from suffering and will
 ultimately realize Buddhahood
 through the wish-granting prayer
 of this yogi.

03 Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha 1

The Buddha is a revolutionary whose Four Noble Truths remain applicable today. Buddhists believe that nothing is perfect nor certain, that everything is illusory, and that all sentient beings are Buddha. The Buddhist view can liberate us from false assumptions in this age of identity politics and obsession with self-improvement. Ethical conduct in Buddhism has three categories: avoiding unwholesome actions, developing wholesome activities and benefitting others, but ultimately includes anything that takes us closer to the truth. Always remember that wisdom or truth is the driver of the car, compassion is in the passenger seat and ethics is at the back.
