Praise to Maitreya Buddha P1450
Smiling face born of merciful heart
Outreaching to establish Dharma connections with all
And none will not be embraced and accommodated
Sustaining the Dharma out of compassion for suffering beings
Ready to render services as soon as needy occasions arise
No leisure for a stable and long sitting
All reduced to cognition is equal to all reduced to Blank Essence

Born into the inner court of Tusita Heaven and
Coming again to spread Dharma to the world

Protector of Buddha Dharma, a great knight,
Followed by the Four Cardinal Heavenly Kings,
Worshipped in all Chinese monasteries,
Help spread holy Dharma with all your might!
You hold practitioners to be your children,
Always give timely encouragement and provision.
Just as you helped Guru Yogi Chen all the way,
Please keep me in your favor to benefit all!
3. The Towers of Bell and Drum
Bell and Drum Resonating in Harmony A0356
Bell and drum resonate as conditions gathered proper;
Wherever is not a place for cultivation of harmony?

Offering incense to fumigate the whole Dharmadhatu
All sentient beings are thus adorned with fragrant light
Single-mindedly reciting "Amitabha" leads one home
Extending guidance to all beings as conditions suitable
Supplication for Offering of Lamps P1572
Offering of lamps illuminates the whole Dharmadhatu
Darkness of ignorant delusions at once swept away
Lamps of Bodhi Mind shine upon all sentient beings
Wisdom life of all Buddhas passes on like lamps spreading
Supplication for Offering of Water P1616
Offering of water moisturizes the whole Dharmadhatu
As clouds flow and rains pour all beings are benefitted
Nectar of Bodhi spreads to nourish wisdom lives
Wherever flows of Dharma reached Buddha sprouts rise
4. The Main Shrine Hall
Praise to Sakyamuni Buddha P1377
A crown price could have renounced the kingdom
Awakened early to illusive nature of worldly glories
In prime years departed from his beloved ones
Sought early the salvation from worldly sufferings
Through ascetic practices realized the Middle Path
Great wisdom transcended worldly dualistic approaches
Attained full enlightenment and pacified all devil harassments
Great compassion no longer sustained antagonism
Guiding beings according to their propensities and capabilities
Great mercy imbued with skillful ways of guidance
Roamed around to provide enlightened guidance till end of life
Great power rendered endless salvation to all beings
Teachings passed down from generation to generation through ages
Graceful waves spread far and wide in the ten directions
Supplication to Sakyamuni Buddha P1378
Attained full enlightenment and transmitted golden Dharma
Endowed with endless ways of providing suitable guidance
Your compassionate grace universally spreads to all beings
World in turmoil and people are confused and worried
Evil views and violent activities prevail in abundance
Right path of Dharma could hardly become prominent
With Bodhi aspiration to save sentient beings far and wide
Yet hindrances and difficulties arose from many directions
Practicing Dharma in this world is step-by-step hindered
Compassionate vows would leave no one behind
Grant us blessings here and there, everywhere
So that the right Dharma will propagate in prosperity
Stanza on Dependent Origination of Buddhas in Five Directions P1629
Totality of Dharmadhatu is originally indivisible,
Transcending time and space, without limitation and ending;
Born of compassion for suffering beings in worldly realms,
Pedagogical teachings set out, distinguishing saints and mortals.
Wherever Buddha appears,
′Tis taken as the center of Dharmadhatu,
In his front and back are called east and west,
To his right-hand side south, and left side north.
Boundless Buddha harmonized and unified wisdom and compassion,
To set up epitome, aspects are illustrated;
Five Wisdoms and Four Compassions are aspects and levels,
Five Buddhas are established to characterize these, respectively.
Vairocana Tathagata at the center,
Illustrating Essence-of-Dharmadhatu Wisdom;
Illuminating universally is the grace of Great Sun Tathagata,
Harmonized and unified Four Compassions in everlasting and universal salvation.
In the east is the immovable Akshobhya Tathagata,
Great-Round-Mirror Wisdom displays whatever as it is;
Sins and sufferings of beings cannot be grasped,
Applying Dharma-Conditions Compassion in awakening salvation.
In the south is the Ratnasambhava Tathagata, full of merits,
Wisdom of Equanimity grants blessings to all beings equally;
Sentient beings and Buddhas are originally in oneness,
In Sentient-Beings-Conditions Compassion benefitting all abundantly in salvation.
In the west is the Amitabha Tathagata,
Wisdom of Wondrous-Observation comprehends all causal connections;
In Pureland cultivates beings in safe environment till full awakening,
In Great Compassion of Oneness carrying out salvation through all-embracing tolerance.
In the north is the Amoghasiddhi Tathagata,
Wisdom of Accomplishing-Deeds enables guidance and conversions;
Even those without causal connections are not forsaken for a moment,
In Great Compassion of No-Connections salvation is done through Grace of Mercy.
Having taken refuge in the Five Buddhas and prostrated to them,
Comprehending wisdom and compassion as they illustrate, what profound grace!
Even as an unworthy disciple still graceful blessings bestowed,
Only in diligent practices to follow such epitomes in salvation of beings can we repay!
Praise to Manjusri Bodhisattva E0080
Bodhisattva Manjusri swings the sword of Wisdom,
Sorrows of sentient beings in all directions are cut off!
Bodhisattva Manjusri enunciates the Lion's Roar,
Upon hearing it sentient beings at all times are awakened!
Bodhisattva Manjusri always remembered,
Even trapped in the mire of five pollutions one remains spotless!
Bodhisattva Manjusri is the savior,
Comprehending all phenomena as of Blank Essence, one escapes Samsara!
Wondrous Wisdom of Manjusri E0080
Wondrous Wisdom profound, thorough and free from grasping to forms,
Amid forms create applications that could extensively benefit sentient beings.
Myriads of things are used at ease as they arise to provide Dharma teachings.
As nothing is not accommodated the Wisdom of Sunyata would be realized.
Praise to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva P1621
Homage to all Buddhas, Samantabhadra′s activity
Praising Tathagata, Samantabhadra′s speech
Extensively conducting offerings, Samantabhadra′s merits
Repenting karmic hindrances, Samantabhadra′s sincerity
Rejoicing in all meritorious deeds, Samantabhadra′s generosity
Pleading for Turning the Wheel of Dharma, Samantabhadra′s intention
Pleading to Buddhas for their staying in this world, Samantabhadra′s mercy
Constantly learning from Buddha, Samantabhadra′s humbleness
Always accommodating to sentient beings, Samantabhadra′s grace
Universal dedication of merits to all beings, Samantabhadra′s virtue
Recognizing a dust as identical to the Dharmadhatu, Samantabhadra′s wisdom
Exploding away spatial and temporal limitations, Samantabhadra′s unity
Compassion of Avalokitesvara, Samantabhadra′s vows
Wisdom of Manjusri, Samantabhadra′s skills
Great might of Mahasthamaprapta, Samantabhadra′s capacity
Myriads of merits harmonized into oneness, Samantabhadra′s salvation activities
All Good Great Perfection P0019
Right now readily accomplished,
Neither right nor wrong;
No waiting for practice or attainment,
Unified only after Self disappeared.
5. The Hall of Medicine Guru Buddha
Praise to the Medicine Guru Buddha P1130
Namo Medicine Guru Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light
Great vows twelve in number, guarding and guiding all beings;
Mishaps and misfortunes fade away upon hearing thy holy name.
Pure body of lapis lazuli light, brightening the whole Dharmadhatu;
Worshipping it with offerings in reverence yields freedom from fear.
Great mantra of secret power, pacifying and eradicating all suffering;
Repeating it devoutly and constantly brings peace and harmony.
Guarding generals twelve in number, protecting the pure and faithful ones;
Offering lamps and reciting the sutra will prolong life of wisdom.
Holy Medicine Guru Buddha emits pure lights,
Spiritual nature of sentient beings in all directions are revealed!
Holy Medicine Guru Buddha enunciates clear sounds,
Sorrows of sentient beings at all times are eradicated!
Holy Medicine Guru Buddha always remembered,
Suffering of illnesses and dangers to life will all be pacified!

Medicine Guru Buddha, the father who leaves no details untouched!
Medicine Guru Buddha, the father who comes in person to teach!
Medicine Guru Buddha, the father who has corrected my posture!
Medicine Guru Buddha, the father who empathizes so subtly!
Supplication to Medicine Guru Buddha P1109
Twelve Great Vows, being considerate to all details, only Buddha can do so
Twelve Great Generals, safeguarding all too well, only Your Holiness can inspire
Seven Stars of Big Dipper, pacifying calamity and prolonging life, only Your Holiness can display
Seven Buddhas of Medicine Guru, expanding and unifying at will, only Buddha can master oneness
Praises to Sun and Moon Bodhisattvas P1624
Sun Ray Shinning Universally breaks blinding stubbornness
Wisdom of Sunyata diminishes grasping like sun melts snow
Sun warmth exerts the power of bringing Spring back
Salvaging beings in suffering for sins out of transmigration
Moon Ray Shinning Universally lights up the dark night
Compassionately spares beings from suffering in poisons
Cool and tranquil is His way of guiding deluded lost ones
Just as a mother holding her child by hand to lead back home
6. The Hall of Amitabha Buddha
Praise to Amitabha Buddha P0007

Amitabha Buddha always remembered,
Even trapped in the mire of sorrows one is still spotless!
Amitabha Buddha is the mentor,
Rebirth in Pureland and full enlightenment are at hand!
Supplication to Amitabha Buddha P0207
"A" signifies original purity; all things are void of self-nature.
Harmonizing in oneness, light and life are both boundless.
Compassionately inducing all beings to return to Pureland,
Sentient beings currently present are exactly Amitabhas.
Supplication to Longevity Buddha P1178
The world is in such turmoil and so many are still ignorant and deluded,
To practice Dharma, attain realization, and spread teachings are difficult.
Human existence is like a flame fluctuating at the mercy of blowing wind,
This physical body, day by day, is only becoming feebler and deteriorated.
May Longevity Buddha all Dharma practitioners well care for as offspring,
Let their lives be as solid and indestructible as the Wisdom Vajra of Tantra,
So they may attain full and perfect enlightenment and then help all the rest,
Long stay in this suffering world to serve as the guardian of sentient beings.
Extramundane Great Compassion Ocean in union
With Secret Wisdom Dakini,
Using four arms to expand salvation activities
In pacifying, enriching, inducing or eradicating;
Endowed with five Yidams in the five chakras
Constantly turning the wheel of the Dharma,
Wisdom and Compassion fused in limitless-oneness
To rescue all beings in countless inconceivable ways;
Shining forth luminous lights of five colors
To enlighten the whole Dharmadhatu,
Sentient beings are all under the warm blessing
Of merciful protection and guidance;
The inexhaustible fountain of the compassionate minds
Of all Buddhas in the past, present and future;
All beings in peril or despair would call out
To Great Chenrezig for help and refuge!
With transformations appearing all over the Dharmadhatu,
There is no limit in space for your manifestation;
Compassion stemming from oneness in Dharmakaya,
There is no limit in time for your salvation activities;
Unifying Original Purity and Joy in Vajrayana initiations,
The ultimate Bodhicitta is planted and nourished;
Merging into the limitless non-dual state through
Displaying illumination born of original purity.

Applying thirty-two kinds of responses to resolve sentient beings' ignorant grasping.
Couplet in Praise of Guan Yin P1592
Thousand places praying got responses in all thousand places
Constantly serving as life-saver boat in the ocean of suffering
Hundred times calling for help got consents all hundred times
Repeatedly serving as path-finding lamp on disoriented routes
Awesome and powerful Vajrapani
Listening to all vows pledged by Dakinis
And serving as the guardian to all in the ocean of Dakinis
Wrists and ankles adorned with dragons surrounding
Forceful manner instilling respect in Heavenly King
All Yaksas come to surround and rely on you
In perfect harmony of wisdom and compassion
Power profound and impacts emerge
Salvation activities expand wider and wider
On my sixtieth birthday you blessed the longevity ring
Granted me the adornment of dragons around my limbs
Thanks to your grace I stay in this world to protect beings
Supplication to Bodhisattva Da Shi Zhi P1554

Wrathful countenance looking down at evils in our minds,
The power of right view scatters away grasping to a self,
Mercy, compassion, joy and renunciation pacified all evils,
We prostrate to the Thousand-arm Guan Yin!
Nine faces at three levels to save beings in the Three Realms,
Three facets as embodiment of wisdom, compassion and power,
Thousand arms with thousand eyes to carry out boundless salvation,

We are desperate for liberation through your graceful salvation,
Endless compassion has never forsaken any being for a second,
We prostrate to the Thousand-arm Guan Yin!
Praise to Buddha Mother Zhun Ti P1369
With three eyes and eighteen arms
Sitting peacefully on a blooming lotus
Surrounded above by Pure Abode gods
Supported below by two Dragon Kings
Harmonized Wisdom and Compassion profound
Universal salvation of suffering beings expansive
Capable of giving birth to all Buddhas
All sentient beings adore and take refuge in thee
Supplication to Buddha Mother Zhun Ti P1369
Variegated are sentient beings' sufferings and calamities
Resolution requires expansive skillful means
Drastically diversified are sentient beings' propensities
Enlightenment depends on union of wisdom and compassion
Layers over layers are sentient beings' hindrances
Elimination requires vehement awesome powers
Step by step difficulties encountered on the practice path
Sustained guidance depends on deep-rooted mercy
Great Buddha Mother, capable of giving birth to Buddhas
Only Your Holiness fully possesses unsurpassable virtues
At this juncture of decayed Dharma, beings are confused
Please bestow Your Grace to enlighten each and every one

Grant me merits of Enlightenment to salvage sentient beings.
8. The Hall of Earth Treasure Bodhisattva
Praise to the Earth Treasure Bodhisattva P0006
With great vows of salvation as numerous as sands of the Ganges,
Devoted to the rescue of all beings suffering in transmigration,
Willing to attain Enlightenment only after all others have so attained,
Earth Treasure, the great Bodhisattva of compassionate vows!
His merits, benevolence and benefits, all so inconceivable;
Seeing, gazing, saluting, prostrating to his statue brings peace,
Hearing, reciting, chanting, remembering his name yields grace;
Earth Treasure, the great Bodhisattva of compassionate vows!
With expedient means numbered in billions of trillions,
Never thought of giving up the attempts to help sinful beings;
Everywhere in the Dharmadhatu appears some of his transformations;
Earth Treasure, the great Bodhisattva of compassionate vows!
Mighty power with awe-inspiring presence is his to command;
The solemn and arduous career to salvage suffering beings
With Buddha's approval and appointment is his to sustain;
Earth Treasure, the great Bodhisattva of compassionate vows!
Supplication to Bodhisattva Earth Treasure P1086
Capable of converting the difficult-to-convert ones, and rescuing beings at each recurrence of their fallings.
Entering mud without being polluted, hells transmit lights of original purity.
Having unified and harmonized the limitless oneness, thus through Your Holiness we abide in compassion.
Engaging in salvation activities through kalpas, laboring so much that you had forgotten about attaining Buddhahood.
9. The Hall of Patriarchs
Lineage Refuge Tree Supplication P1097
Original Purity, oh, Patriarch Guru Chen!
Vajra Lotus, oh, Guru Lin!
The Right Dharma lineage of Manjusri and Guan Yin,
Harmonized wisdom and compassion to spread everywhere!
Gratitude to Lineage Grace E0266
Human bodies last not forever;
How could Dharma lineage linger?
People are all busy for living better;
Who would renounce such endeavor?

Propagating Dharma to recipients ready and willing.
Now we have the good fortune to learn Dharma,
Appreciation of patriarchs′ kindness is due to ensue.

Repeating mantra and emitting lights to bless all beings,
Amid an altar hall that harmonized Sutras and Tantras,

The Honorable Protector Xuan De P1382
Humble to capable ones and practiced merciful ways
People's minds were drawn toward your leadership
Rather remained in dangerous and difficult situations

Sworn to remain faithful brothers in the peach garden
And helped sustain the Han Dynasty through perils
For the sake of all beings brothers of one mind sworn
To guard and support our pure and genuine Dharma lineage

Supplication to the Refuge Tree of the Dharma Lineage of Adi Buddha Mandala P1575
Amid limitless oneness of original purity
Father and Mother in union, Adi Buddha appears
Harmony of wisdom and compassion
The wondrous image represents Dharmakaya
As the flow of Dharma spreads naturally
The whole Dharmadhatu is blessed through conversion
To liberate all suffering beings from transmigration in the six realms

Harmonized Sutrayana and Tantrayana to propound the three-yanas-in-one
Accomplished in austerity and attainment that are rare over the ages
Compassionately stays in this suffering world just to save all beings
Guru Lin, Guan Yin of Vajra Lotus
Expressed profound teachings in simple words
Widely expounded the essence of many Dharma teachings
Through Dharma services of all sorts
Spreading the teachings to the East and the West
Continuation and sustenance of the golden teachings
Of our lineage rest squarely on his shoulders
Taking care of all details is the grace of our lineage protectors
Leading us all the way is the Wei Tuo Bodhisattva
Arranging matters ahead depends on Heavenly King Vaisravana
Trusting with all matters relies on the Dragon King of Pacific Ocean
Oath-bound blacksmith, the Honorable Damchen Dorje Legpa
Holding up this root of Tantra just as he protected Guru Rinpoche
Just and loyal Guan Gong, the great protector of monasteries
Continue to display your loyalty by removing hindrances to the lineage
Establishment of our lineage is simply for salvation of suffering beings
Continuation of our lineage all depends on the blessing of these holy ones
Through taking refuge in our lineage we merge into Bodhicitta
We spread teachings of our lineage to convert suffering beings
And in their salvation is our reward to the profound compassionate grace
A Prayer for Yogi Chen's Blessings P0014

Forever merits accumulate and wisdom grow.

Supplication to Guru Lin for Blessing P1607
Prostration to all refuges of the great grace lineage
As unified in Guru Lin, a personification of Guan Yin

Abiding in rainbow body to extend salvation upon suitable vessels
Revealing wondrous teachings to save all beings in the six realms
Supplication to Bodhisattva Wei-Tuo P0010
Protector of Buddha Dharma, a great knight,
Followed by the Four Cardinal Heavenly Kings,

Always give timely encouragement and provision.
Just as you helped Guru Yogi Chen all the way,
Please keep me in your favor to benefit all!
Praise to the Dragon King P0050

Sentient beings with lucky connections are all blessed by thy grace.
Supplication to the Dragon King P1102
Dragon King and Dragon Queen sustained compassion profound.
Spreading and propagating the Dharma, they took care of chores.
Without overlooking matters major or minor, they guarded well.
Their grace spread the world over, and their virtuous favors last!
13. Dedication of Merits
May virtuous gurus remain with us and those departed return soon!
May perverse views and violence soon become extinct and Dharma spread without hindrance!

Longevity prayer for Vajra Lotus Buddha P1098
Oh, originally pure yogi you are!
Wonderful conversion through Ewam as the Lotus-born Guru;
The great joy in Sunyata is peerless,
May the Holy Guru live long and abide in this world!
Tantric teachings of Guru Rinpoche rely on Your Reverence to pass on,
Wisdom lamp of Manjusri relies on Your Reverence to continue shinning,
Marrow of Tang Tantras relies on Your Reverence to reveal and explicate,
Please stay long in this world to benefit all with your salvation activities!
Ever Spreading of the Lineage P1101
Marrow of the Right Dharma passed down from generation to generation,
Succeeding predecessors and leading followers to turn the Dharma Wheel,
Everlasting pure lineage guided by holy Gurus and guarded by Protectors,
A never-ending lamp shining through everywhere to enlighten all beings!
Stanza on Constant Illumination and Wide Spreading of Dharma P1626
Engulfed in the Five Poisons, sentient beings in the Six Realms are trapped in delusions;
May all in sufferings thereby turn to seek the path of emancipation!
Worldly problems having no solutions, lingering therein will gain only toil and distress in vain;
May all become awaken and escape from entanglements without further deliberations and cares!
All are impermanent and there is no possibility of control and management on changing;
May all become keenly aware of this and no longer linger in comparisons and calculations!
Essence of Dharma difficult to comprehend and paths of Dharma practices are variant and at odds;
May all mature in Wisdom to renounce partial grasping and reach harmonious comprehension!
Intertwining knots of body and mind have been accumulated, layers over layers, like a cocoon;
May all sustain resolution in resolving all such knots on the path of Dharma practices!
Personal grasping, not extinguished, attainment of enlightenment lacks full completion;
May all, through diligent Dharma practices, readily attain the state of non-self!
Full attainment of Dharmakaya yields incomprehensible display of Wisdom and Compassion;
May all attain Full Enlightenment to conduct salvation activities without limits and ending!
May All Beings Attain Enlightenment Soon!
