You who shine with the radiance of intelligent skilful play
You who are a fertile field of excellent qualities
You manifest an ocean of Dharma, with each point clear and distinct
In all ten directions the melodious sound of your song reverberates
You sing the songs of the deep meaning of the view and meditation
Genuine spiritual friend, may your feet continue their playful dance
We beg you to always remain

This prayer for the long life of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso, the unequaled spiritual friend, I make out of my own devotion to this genuine master, and also in response to the repeated requests of many groups of his Eastern disciples, who possess the jewel of faith. On the topmost floor of the Gyuto Ramoche Temple in the noble land of India, the one fortunate to receive the healing nectar of his excellent teachings, Karmapa Orgyen Trinle Palden Wangi Dorje, makes this supplication with a clear mind, and may its aspiration be realized in precisely the way it has been made.
