PRAYERS ON LOSAR BALLOONS
At Losar (Tibetan New Year), Rinpoche wrote the following prayers on balloons which Rinpoche then released into the sky:
'May His Holiness have a stable life.
May the mainland Chinese government officials change their minds, become devoted to His Holiness, and do exactly as His Holiness wishes, as quickly as possible, without delaying for even a second.
May the Chinese give Tibet back to the Tibetan people, and may His Holiness guide them continuously. May Buddhism be preserved and spread more than before. May there be more buddhas and bodhisattvas even than there were before in Tibet. Through this may Buddhism spread all over this world and flourish forever.
May we become His Holiness’s heart disciples, offer service, and become most pleasing to His Holiness. May we be able to fulfill His Holiness’s holy wishes in all our lifetimes.
May all the funding for the Maitreya Project be received without the delay of even a second. May the bank people be in harmony, be incredibly devoted and compassionate, and give all the funding as quickly as possible.
May the Maitreya statue be constructed without the delay of even a second. May it be completed and abide in this world until Maitreya Buddha comes. May it be extremely beneficial for all sentient beings, causing them to collect extensive merit, purify all defilements, and achieve enlightenment as quickly as possible.
May all the funding be found to build and support monasteries and nunneries in different parts of the world and to help all beings’ needs and education.
May we be able to build holy objects in different parts of the world in order to purify sentient beings’ defilements and negative karma, collect extensive merit, and bring them to enlightenment as quickly as possible.
May we actualize social services in different parts of the world to help the bodies and minds of the people and cause them to meet the Dharma.
May we be able to provide all the funds for all the centers that have debts and projects.
May all the centers be most beneficial for sentient beings, causing them to develop faith in refuge and karma and to actualize bodhichitta; especially may they spread the complete teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa in the hearts of all living beings.
May all the students and benefactors of the FPMT, especially those who give up their lives for this organization offering service to sentient beings and for the teachings of Buddha, have long, healthy lives. May all our wishes for the holy Dharma be immediately successful. May we be able to actualize the stainless teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa in this very lifetime without the delay of even a second.
May all the FPMT Sangha have long and healthy lives and be able to complete the scriptural understandings and realizations on the path to enlightenment in this very lifetime by living in pure Vinaya and by having their lives protected.
May we be able to build a large stupa in this area (Washington), carve a big image of Buddha on the rock, and enlighten numberless living beings as quickly as possible.
May I be able to quickly actualize all of His Holiness’s wishes.'
