    Recollecting the Virtues of the Three Jewels



    The protector who has great compassion,
    the omniscient teacher, the perfect one,
    the basis of oceans of merit and qualities:
    to you, the Tathagata, I prostrate.
    GON PO THUK JE CHE DEN PA
    THAM CHE KHYEN PE TON PA PO
    SONAM YON TEN GYA TSO ZHING
    DE ZHIN SHEK LA CHAK TSEL LO

    The purity that frees one from attachment,
    the virtue that liberates one from the lower
    realms,
    this one path, the sublime, pure reality:
    to this Dharma that pacifies, I prostrate.

    DAK PA DO CHAK DRAL WAR GYUR
    GE WE NGEN SONG LE DROL ZHING
    CHIK TU DON DAM CHOK GYUR PA
    ZHI GYUR CHO LA CHAK TSEL LO

    Having been liberated, they show the path
    to liberation,
    are devoted to the moral precepts,
    a holy field with perfect qualities:
    to this sublime Sangha, I prostrate.

    DROL NAM DROL WE LAM YANG TON
    LAB PA DAK LA RAB TU NE
    ZHING GI DAM PA YON TEN DEN
    GEN DUN LA YANG CHAK TSEL LO


    Food Offering Verses

    The precious Buddha is the supreme teacher.
    The precious Dharma is the supreme protection.
    The precious Sangha is the supreme guide.
    To these Three Jewels, the objects of refuge,
    I make this offering of food.
    TON PA LA ME SANG GYE RIN PO CHE
    KHYOP PA LA ME DAM CH RIN PO CHE
    DEN PA LA ME GE DUN RIN PO CHE
    KYAB NE KON CHOG SUM LA CHD PA BUL


    This well-prepared, delightful food with a
    hundred tastes
    I offer with faith to the Buddhas and
    Bodhisattvas.
    Through this, may all living beings
    enjoy the rich food of deep meditation.

    ZHEL ZE TO GYA DEN ZHING YI TROG PA
    LEG JAR DI NI GYEL WA SE CHE LA
    DE PE BUL WE DRO WA DI DAG KUN
    JOR DEN TING DZIN ZE LA CHO PAR SHOG


    By seeing the food as medicine,
    I will partake of it without attachment or
    aversion.
    It shall not serve to increase my pride, arrogance
    or strength,
    but will only maintain my body.

    KHA ZE MAN DANG DRA WAR RIG PA YI

    GYAG CHIR MA LAG MYEM PA=I CHIR MA LAG
    TSAG CHIR MA LAG LU NE BA ZHI CHIR

    Dedication of the Sponsors Merit

    By the power of this great generosity
    for the benefit of migrating beings spontaneous
    attainment of buddhahood,
    may those who were not liberated by past
    buddhas
    be liberated by the power of this generosity.
    JIN PA GYA CHEN GYUR PA DI YI THU
    DRO WE DON DU RNAG JUNG SANG GYE SHO
    NGON JON GYAL WA NAM KYI MA DROL WAR
    KYE WOI TSOK NAM JIN PE DROL GYUR CHIR
