I prostrate with great reverence! Fields of the ten directions and enjoyments of goddesses, etc., Clouds of offerings of actual wealth, mind-created offerings, and desirable qualities, Outer, inner, secret, and supreme offerings, I offer to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. From beginningless time until now, Under the power of delusion, through karma and afflictions, Under the power of non-virtue, of the three vows, Violations and breakages, I confess and reveal. To all individual Hearers, Arhats, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the assembly of Buddha's children, For the virtuous deeds they have done for the benefit of beings, I and others rejoice with great joy. In all the Buddha-fields, as numerous as the dust of the oceans, After attaining complete enlightenment, with the supreme Dharma of nectar, Those who do not wish to speak, those who remain, I urge them to turn the immeasurable wheel. Those Buddhas who think that those to be tamed are exhausted, Those who intend to go to other fields, those who intend to pass into Nirvana, I pray that they never pass into Nirvana, But remain for oceans of kalpas. Thus, may this root of virtue be led by pure intention, All the virtue I have done and given, I dedicate to all sentient beings as vast as space, May all quickly attain the heart of enlightenment! This seven-branch prayer was written by Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu when offering to the Sangha Gyatso of Kathok Monastery in Dokham Dorje Dhen (Eastern Kham, Vajrasana) and all the Sangha from other directions in the month when summer flowers bloom, at the age of twenty-one, and when seeing the wondrous supports of body, speech, and mind. May it be virtuous! From the writings of the great Vidyadhara, some prayers such as the reincarnation of Dechen Lingpa are selected.
