1.cA Feast For the Fortunatec(His Holiness 17th Karmapa)
ccc
Om, Swasti!
Dharmakaya, unchanging unity of appearance and Emptiness,
Vast expanse of youthful great bliss,
Sky of spontaneously present joy, free of defilement,
Bestow a feast of unchanging goodness upon us.
c
Through the seeds of inherently pure virtue
That arise from even a bit of glorious goodness,
And the bright smile of virtue revealed
By the offering of the light of these lamps to the Three Jewels,
c
May the well-being of a golden age arise
In this realm of the thousand-petaled lotus.
May the time of warfare and disputation be pacified;
May auspicious excellence prosperity and goodness flourish
c
Especially throughout the land[s] of America.
May the youthful lotus of teaching practice bloom;
May innumerable oceans of realms be filled
With the melodious roar of the Profound Secret!

2.cPrayer by His Eminence Tai Situ
The Ground, self-awareness, is utterly luminous Wisdom.
It is Prajnaparamita, which thoroughly distinguishes among things.
Its nature is awareness unobscured by ignorance.
It is Emptiness and Lucidity united, the very nature of luminosity.
c
The radiant rays of this light fill all quarters of space.
May the merit of this light bring happiness to all beings.
The nature of this light is the very nature of all things.
May the light of the Buddhas’ wisdom be revealed.
c
Keun shi rang rik ye she keun tu sal
Cheu rap nam jay rap she rap pa reul chin
Rik pay rang zhin ma rik drip pay wen
Tong sal zung juk sal way de shin nyi
c
Nang sal eu zer nang way chok keun kyap
Nang sal seu nam dro keun day la jor
Nang sal rang zhin cheu nyi de shin nyi
Nang sal gyal way ye she ngeun gyur sho.

3.cThe offering concludes with the words of H. E. the 12th Goshir Gyaltsab Rinpoche:
By offering these beautiful and tranquil lamps
In the joyous presence of the Perfect Buddha, the King of Illumination;
Gyalwang Karmapa, the Lord of the World;
And all the Buddhas with their children,
c
May the poison of malicious enmity
Never arise in the mind of any one of us.
With loving minds, like the meeting of mother and child,
May the world be filled with peace and happiness.
c
Dzok pay sang gyay dreun may gyal po dang
Jik ten wang chuk karmapa la sok
Say chay gyal way deun sa nyam ga war
Shi wa rap dzay mar may di peul way
c
Pen tseun dra ru tong way sam ngen duk
Rang shen su yi gyeu laang mi jung war
Jam pay sem kyi ma bu tray pa shin
Dzam bu ling keun shi day kyap par sho.
