The Meaning of the Name of Bardor Tulku Rinpoche


Compassionate wrath is ornamented

By the great, blazing blue weapon.

This inescapable vajra of activity crushes the skulls

Of samaya breakers and the ten objects.

This vajra name is everywhere,

Protecting the commands of the incomparable son of Shuddhodana.

It is the vajra that destroys the rudra of broken samaya

In this degenerate age of conflict.

This vajra name is everywhere.

It is the blazing vajra of activity that sustains

The sacred Dharmachakra of the four noble truths

From the beginning to the end of this eon.

This vajra name is everywhere.

It is the blazing vajra of indestructible activity,

One of the light-rays from the heart of the Lake-born Lord,

Who blazes with love for all beings.

This vajra name is everywhere.

It is the blazing vajra of activity's samaya,

The messenger of the powerful prince of Zahor,

And the yoke of his royal decree.

This vajra name is everywhere.

It is the vajra that propagates without decline

The teachings and continuous activity of Karmapa,

The embodiment of all buddhas of the three times.

This vajra name is everywhere.

It is the vajra of unceasing activity,

The result of immeasurable accumulation

Throughout innumerable eons.

Inconceivable and inexpressible,

This sacred, eternal and indestructible vajra

Gathers beings of this degenerate age of conflict

Into the net of blazing, radiant activity.

This unwavering mind of discriminating intelligence

Adorns the finger of morality with the jewel of learning.

This letter of explanation was written through the power of faith.

May the eight worldly dharmas, the guru's enemies, be eradicated.
