Purifying Interferences

About this section:
Prayers are ways of guiding our thoughts and energy in a certain direction; they are a technique in helping us transform our mind. By repeatedly thinking of the meaning of what we are saying or reading, we train and familiarize ourselves in a way of regarding and relating to ourselves and others. The testing ground that shows us which qualities are firm within us and which ones still need to be developed is our daily life with all its various activities. Thus for a person dedicated to developing his or her Buddha potential, prayers and the activities of daily life complement each other.

Purifying Interferences

To those from the pure and supreme places who enjoy space (emptiness),
Who possess the five clairvoyances and can magically emanate,
Care for us practitioners, like a mother for her child.
I prostrate to the assembly of dakinis of the three places.

ah ka sama radza sada rasa maraya pey (recite several times),

tayata gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi soha

By the truth of the existence of the Three Jewels, may all inner and outer hindrances and adversities be overcome! (clap)
May they become non-existent! (clap)
May they be pacified! (clap)
May all negative forces opposed to the Dharma be completely pacified!

May the eighty thousand obstacles be pacified. May we be separated from all adverse conditions and may we obtain conducive circumstances and everything good. May there be auspiciousness, happiness and well-being here, right now!
