LYRICS (copyright Kongchok Namkha):

Manjushri brilliant light of wisdom

Wisdom as bright as the shining sun

Who frees us from night of ignorance

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

Bodhisattva of peerless knowledge

Free of the clouds of two obstructions

Removing the dusk of ignorance

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

Enlightened wisdom of compassion

Dharma speech like a snow lion’s roar

Awakens us to our ignorance

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

Nurturing us with a parent’s love

Bodhisattva, kindness manifest

Removes our suffering and our doubts

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

Foremost of the Buddha’s disciples

Gentle voice, eternally youthful

With wisdom sword and sharpest knowledge

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

Perfection of wisdom embodied

The granter of wishes and blessings

Tranquil ocean of blissful insight

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

I prostrate to you, enlightened form

I prostrate to you, holiest speech

I prostrate to you, all-knowing mind

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

Manjushri, obstacle remover

Manjushri, who brings accomplishments

Manjushri, perfection of wisdom

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

Profound seven syllable mantra

Profound speech of the Bodhisattvas

Syllables and sound, shaking all worlds

I pray, shining one, grant me wisdom.

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

oṃ a ra pa cha na dhi

dhi dhi dhi dhi dhi dhi dhi dhi dhi
