This Praise of the Twelve Deeds of the Compassionate Buddha was composed by Drigung Kyopa, Jikden Gönpo. It was printed by H.H. Jigdal Dachen Sakya of the Puntso branch of the Khön family during 1978, the Tibetan Earth-Horse year 952, in order to aid the meditation practice of the Sakya Dharma Center members. As part of the preparation for the 1993 pilgrimage by H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya and his retinue to the Eight Holy Places in India, this new edition of the Praise was made based on the versions found in the Gold and Silver Prayer books. Jeffrey Schoening typed the Tibetan and English texts, as well as revised the translation to agree more closely with the line-by-line format. He translated the mantra based on the Tibetan notes, which were also added to the text. It was reprinted in 1993, the Tibetan Water-Bird year 967, the King's year 2120, and again in 2000, Iron dragon year 974, 2127. May it bring vast benefit to the Doctrine and to all sentient beings! )W*¡->ù-0ß-,Ü-0ß-,Ü-0-¼Ô-0ß-,Ü-»Ó`-0ß-,-8è-—¢-¼ÔÊ Ê

Conclude the practice with whatever verses of dedication and prayers you know. At all times you should think of your dwelling as the realm of Dewachen (Sukhavati), and with the divine pride of the being Chenrezi (Avalokiteshvara), think that you are serving the Lama Öpame (Amitabha). Never parting from the three practices for transforming yourself into the divine body, speech, and mind, strive with great compassion to achieve the welfare of living beings. *ß#<-Bè-&è,-ýë-+$-d#-{-&è,-ýë-6ß$-7'ß#-·¦-(0<-<ß-v$-/-+ý:-<-þ-ý-8/-r<-`Ü-#+0<-ý-7+Ü-,ÜÊ 9$-#Ü-yë/-0-i#<-ý-Ü{:-02,-bÜ<-*ß#<-Bè-&è,-ýë7Ü-…å/-*/<-2Ý#<-<ß-/%+-ý9-e<-ý-5Ü#-+#ë<-<ë-5è<-{$-9Ü$-0ë-,<-/U¨:-/7Ü-$ë9Ê /1°,-ý-+´¥,-0&ë#-T©,-iá/-`Ü<->è-4îî-&ë<-Q,-¸¥-;Ü,-·¦-f³9-/9-oÜ<-,<-0+ë-"0<-;9-bÜ-dë#<-<ß-/U¨9-/7ëÊ <G-0]-:îîÊÊ

And having very quickly written, I send it to Do-Kham (mdo-khams) in the eastern direction. Main text - sGrub thabs kun btus – Vol 3 (Ga) , pg 12-15, Lineage prayer - pg 15-16

往昔时，有瘟疫传播于萨迦光辉传承之大寺中，有接触者无一幸免。

寺院里的大咒师们尝试了各种办法--- ---刻神像、做朵玛供养、使用药品、念诵咒语、佩

戴护身符等等--- ---一切全都归于无用，眼看着寺院的香火就要被灭绝了。

这时，大成就者唐东嘉波开始为此传染瘟疫而作法：首先念诵皈依仪轨，开头语是“如虚

空无量无边之有情众生……”，然后是念诵了一段时间的观音心咒，继而在佛陀的教言之

后作了如是祈请文：“我们这些愿望将会变成现实.……”。伴随着尊者此祈请之开展，传

染之疫病立时就停了下来。

故此，此具有如虚空般大加持之金刚语祈请文，即以“愿此供养和祈请之愿即刻满！”而闻

名后世。

Once, an epidemic was spreading from one person to the next at the great monastery of the

Glorious Sakya tradition. Whatever the mantric masters tried—effigies, tormas, medicines,

mantras, protection-amulets, and so on—had no effect, and the monastery was in danger of

annihilation. At that time, the master mahāsiddha Thangtong Gyalpo performed the refuge prayer

which begins, “Sentient beings in number as vast as space”, then recited a number of Mani

mantras, and said following the Teachers' words, “These aspirations become reality...”. At that

time, the entire epidemic immediately ceased in dependence upon the performance of this prayer.

Thereby, it became renowned as the vajra speech radiating cloud-like blessings entitled ‘The

Prayer that Saved Sakya from Disease.’

Kumud is a white flower with a trumpet-like petal that blooms by the

light of the moon.

When Glorious Sakya Phuntsok Phodrang Refuge Lord Dagchen Great Dorjéchang’s mind was

absorbed in the Dharmadhatu, I was present at the wondrous setting of his dwelling in luminosity

meditation and performed worship and offerings in the presence of his physical remains.

According to the entreaty from grandson Asanga Rinpoche at that time, I, Sakya Trizin Dolma

Phodrang Ngawang Kunga, composed this prayer with a mind of pure intention. May it be so

accomplished.

At the request of H.E. Asanga Rinpoche, translated by Upasaka Jeffrey Schoening on May 8, 2016.
