For those who are not familiar with the lineage of the Domo Geshes and need further info on it:-
A prayer recounting the successive incarnations of the precious supreme nirmankaya the glorious and great being Gyalten Jigme Chokyi Wangchuk the reincarnation of Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche Ngawang Kalsang the great being whose immense waves of bodhicitta ripened to spread the precious doctrine of the second Conqueror Lobsang Dragpa to far lands and whose name like a sweet melody became well known in India, China, Nepal, Tibet and Europe, was requested by the entire communities of his monasteries including Tharpacholing in Kalimpong. In accordance with this request, Kyabje Yongzin Trijang Rinpoche, Tutor of H.H. The Dalai Lama, in the Fire Sheep year (1967) in Dharamsala, composed the verse for the then Supreme Incarnation, Gyalten Jigme Chokyi Wangchuk and added it to the Condensed Golden Rosary Biographical prayer containing the names of Domo Geshe Rinpoche’s previous incarnations – a prayer authored (and spoken through an oracle) by Dulzin Dragpa Gyaltsen, the peaceful manifestation of Gyalchen Dorje Shugden.
THE WONDERFUL GOLDEN ROSARY
A Prayer to the Incarnations of the Supreme Nirmankaya, Domo
Geshe Rinpoche, Peerless Ornament of the Genden Tradition
OM VASTI
I pray at the feet of the most kind Guru,
The wish-fulfilling gem who fulfills all hopes,
In whom are united the wisdom, compassion and power
Of all the infinite conquerors of the three times.
I pray to the play of the Dharmakaya -
The great bliss in union with the ultimate nature of reality-
That reveals whatever is remarkable,
Through emanating clouds of diverse illusory forms of inconceivable design,
To limitless beings in accordance with their capacity.
I pray to the shravaka Shariputra
Praised as the foremost among the wise [of Buddha’s disciples],
Who was attracted by the peaceful behavior of the Arhat Dadul,
And, by following the Buddha, conquered the defilements of the three worlds.
I pray to the Mahasiddha Gayadhara,
Who passed on the precious treasure of the teachings
On path and effect [sung.nga lam.dre] to the translator Drokmi,
And who illuminated the swift, esoteric path of mystical union [yuganaddha]
I pray to the elder, Dharmashri,
The most eloquent expounder of Dharma discourses,
To grace the Gandhola throne in the monastery called Singala [ in Bodh Gaya]
In the vast land of Magadha.
I pray at the feet of the master Munijnana,
Whose teachings spread the profound meaning of the Tripitaka
Throughout India among congregations
Of lay people, ascetics, scholars and monks.
I pray to Thonmi Sambhota, herald of the sun,
Who led the chariot of language and grammar
That beckoned the dawning of Buddha’s teachings,
Dispelling the darkness of ignorance in Tibet.
I pray at the feet of King Trisong Deutsen,
Who helped spread the Conqueror’s teaching to those of good fortune in Tibet,
By the great wave of his religious and political means
And by inviting the sun-like abbot [Shantarakshita] and the moon-like
Acharya [Padmasambhava]
I pray to the noble master Dromtonpa,
The spiritual son of the glorious Atisha Dipamkara,
Who, in a prophecy by the Buddha, was named Upasika Chopel,
And who opened and distinguished the Kadampa teaching tradition
endowed with seven divine aspects.
I pray at the feet of Zhepe Dorje,
The noble master Mila, a universal emperor among the siddhas of Tibet,
Who underwent great hardship in his single-pointed practice
And thereby attained the supreme union in one life.
I pray at the feet of Khedrup Choje Gelek Pal,
The glorious one, abounding in virtue, all-conquering and fearless,
He who defeated the arguments of his powerful, ignorant,evil opponents
With the lion’s roar of good explanations, well-reasoned debates,
And compositions.
I pray at the feet of Dragpa Gyaltsen,
Whose power of abandonment[of mental defilements] and realization
Reached fulfillment
Through tasting the essential nectar of teachings of Panchen Chogyen
[First Panchen Lama Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen]
He who generated the intention to guard and preserve the noble Genden tradition.
I pray at the feet of Geshe Ngawang Kalsang,
The incomparable spiritual master, who spread to the end of all directions
The supreme, faultless tradition of Conqueror Losang Drakpa,
By acting in the manner of the pure, liberating Kadampa tradition.
I pray at the feet of the Great Lord of Speech [Manjushri],
Gyalten Jigme Chokyi Wangchuk,
Who rejuvenates the supreme Dharma like life’s renewal in spring,
Through his fearless unequaled analyses
Of all the Conqueror’s teachings including the Sutras,
Tantras and commentaries.
I beseech you to manifest yourself continually
In wondrous infinite pure and impure emanations
According to the different kinds of dispositions, abilities
And longings of sentient beings
Until the illusory cycles of samsara are emptied.
Thus, by the force of this prayer offered with a clear and pure mind,
Throughout all my lives to come, may I never be separated from the holy Guru
And the essence of the vast and profound teachings;
May I partake insatiably of their abundant, magnificent splendor.
Whenever improper behavior, such as contempt, slander, reproach,
disrespect and wrong views, arises from evil,
May I cast all of it far away,
And by the force of properly serving the Guru with pure intentions and action,
May the root of all goodness be established.
Through the single-pointed practicing the step-like path of Sutra and Tantra-
The essential meaning of the eighty-four thousand teachings of the Buddha-
May I swiftly experience the realization of the ultimate
And attain the triple kaya of great bliss.
Above all may the holy Guru dwell among us
In the immutable nature of the swastika, continuously for hundreds of aeons,
And may his beneficial action of aiding others
Be unhindered and spontaneously accomplished in accordance with his wishes.
May the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden, fierce, versatile, in control
of the ten powers and emanated through proud, heroic dance of Manjushri-Yamantaka,
Not waver in guarding and protecting
All of us, the masters, disciples and the community.
