A Prayer by Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo
Clear Mind, Holy Mind
The arguments we have used against you
Are like dust…
Against You?
You, who flow silently… eternally
In the well of our hearts.
Have we robed you in filthy rags
Hatred… greed… ignorance?
You have remained steadfast,
Unchanging.
Today we lift you up
To the lips and hearts of
Beings without number
And are feasted forever.
Precious mind unchanging
Clear mind eternal.
The promise we have searched for
Is enthroned within our hearts.
Clear light, holy light
Stainless, precious heart.
Here in this clear place
We are robed in sweet scent
And victorious forever.

I love this sacred poem.
I will say this prayer, Jetsunma, today and in the days ahead. It will set my mind for the practice you have called for on behalf of Mother Earth and all her children. Thank you, Precious Guru.
