Homage to the Nonduality of My Guru, Amitayus, Buddha of Limitless Life and Wisdom
In the spontaneous presence of transcendent primordial awareness, the vast expanse of the Trikaya—essence, nature, and compassionate energy—abides in inseparable unity. Thus your innate nature is primordially liberated, your precious manifestation, the luminous Nirmanakaya, endures unceasingly. May you live long.
Your fundamental primordial purity, eternally translucent and spontaneously radiant with celestial luminosity, manifests as the embodiment of infinite wisdom. As the precious master of the inexpressible natural state, Longchenpa, may you live long.
With boundless compassion, you labor to liberate sentient beings from the endless cycles of samsara. May you perform ceaseless, timely deeds throughout your life—an embodiment of the precious Buddha and transcendent wisdom, Yeshe Rinchen—benefiting all who encounter you. May you live long as the emanation of Guru Padmasambhava.
By the power of the vast, ocean-like expanse of the Three Jewels and the deities of the Three Roots; by the blessings of the Longevity Deities, including Amitayus; and by the interdependent, unequivocal law of karma and the merit generated through this prayer, may you live long.
This is a DeepSeek-translated, Claude Sonnet-refined version of the Zhabten that Rigdzin Karma composed and presented to Lopen one month before his passing. Following Lopen's departure, the original Zhabten was transformed into a Soeldeb. This translation preserves the original Zhabten text as it was first presented.
