The Dedication

Through the interdependence of the Three Jewels and the
Three Roots, and the prayers and pure intention of the holy and
realized lamas gathered in this sacred place of Katok Gonpa on
the auspicious occasion of this glorious monlam, and the pure
intention of this offering:

May the precious Buddhadharma continuously expand and
flourish throughout the nations of this earth, increasing the moral
conduct, peace, merit, and prosperity of all beings.

May the vitality of the unsurpassed Ati lineage remain undi-
minished on this earth, and may the distilled nectar of the heart
drop transmission continually overflow from the rigdzin lamas
into the hearts and minds of qualified disciples.


May the vast array of superb methods available through the
Nyingmapa lineages be powerfully and perfectly accomplished
by generation after generation of practitioners.

May the longevity of Chagdud Tulku, Lord of the Dance,
be sustained and may his old age be radiant with well-being,
prosperity, and joy.

May Chagdud Tulku’s activity continue to flourish beyond
all limits of time and space.

May his disciples gain an increasingly profound understand-
ing of his example and his teachings.

May the activities of his family lineage, particularly those of
his son, Tulku Jigme Ngawang Norbu, and his grandson, Orgyen
Jigme Lodro Dawa, flourish both in Asia and in the West.
May they bring to fruition all the high aspirations of all their lifetimes.

May the longevity, prosperity, and activities of all the holy
dharma masters assembled here on this glorious occasion—and
of all who hold the Buddha’s doctrine with pure intention—
always increase, bestowing a rain of benefit for beings everywhere.
