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
