HUNG At the Northwest border of Uddiyana,
Upon a lotus flower’s pistil,
You have attained marvelous, supreme realization.
You are renowned as the “Lotus Born”,
Encompassed by vast retinues of Dakinis.
By emulating you we too shall awaken.
Please be present to us,
in blessing and inspiration:

May all beings possess happiness and the inner causes of happiness,
May all beings be free from sorrow and the inner causes of sorrow,
May all beings remain undivided from the sacred joy which is free from sorrow,
May all beings come to rest in the great equanimity beyond attachment or
aversion to "friends", "enemies", or "strangers".
