¶Lyrics / Text

With mandārava, blue lotus, and jasmine, With all flowers pleasing and fragrant, And with garlands, skilfully woven, I pay honour to the princes of the Sages, So worthy of veneration. I envelop them in clouds of incense, Sweet and penetrating; I make them offerings of food, hard and soft, And pleasing kinds of liquids to drink. I offer them lamps encrusted with jewels, Festooned with golden lotus. On the paving, sprinkled with perfume, I scatter handfuls of beautiful flowers. Om muni muni mahāmuni Shākyamuni svāhā. [Mantra: "O Sage, O Sage, O Great Sage, O Shākyan Sage, all Hail!"
