On devotion...


From the blossoming lotus of devotion, 
at the center of my being,
Rise up, O compassionate master, 
my only refuge!
I am plagued by past actions
 and turbulent emotions:
To protect me in my misfortune
Remain as the jewel-ornament 
on the crown of my head, 
the mandala of great bliss,
Arousing all my mindfulness 
and awareness,
l pray!
