THROEL

O emanation of the Mind of Kuntguzangpo, whose body is luminous white

like crystal, immaculate and of clear lustre, and of which rays of light
emanate in all ten directions.

Naked and without ornaments are you, the essence of the Primordial State.

By virtue of your compassion and by means of the two knowledges, you
contemplate continuously the welfare of all beings.

The nectar from the heart of the Blessed Ones is Dzogchen, which is
supreme among all Teachings,

the highest of all teachings and the essence of all Tantras, (lung, men-ngag).
In the Natural State, which is the base, exist liberation and delusion,

and through sounds, rays and lights all their defects and virtues become
clearly visible.

But once having cleared the darkness obscuring the minds of living beings,

the base which is empty and without a source is finally understood to be the
only path, relative and logical understanding become manifest, and Samsara
and Nirvana are both liberated into the Nature of Mind, and thus the
threefold body of the fruit becomes visibly arrayed before us in space.

To you, oh Tapihritsa, protector of beings we pray with single-minded
devotion to grant the blessing of your initiation for us and all other beings,

and of pacifying all obstructions, outer, inner, and secret.

When we are all liberated from ignorance and from grasping at delusions,
our intrinsic awareness will become manifest, and having finally realised
view and conduct, we manifest the actual meaning of the Primordial State,
which is empty, without a source, and totally transcending the intellect.

At that moment, please let us realise this.

Oh Tapihritsa, Lord, Protector of all beings,

we pray: by virtue of your compassion, liberate our mind from all
entanglements in the six realms of rebirth.
