HUM
On the northwest border of the Land of Orgyen
Upon a blooming lotus stalk is
An adept of amazing and supreme feats (siddhis)
Widely known as the Lotus Born,
Encircled by dakini retinues:
I will practice as you did.
Please come and bring your waves of splendor;
Guru bring me siddhis. HUM
(English translation: ” Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse” by Anne Carolyn Klein)
