Homage to the omnipresent Manjushri
whose fundamental nature is emptiness.

Infinite wisdom radiates from your heart
in hues of yellow, red, black, green and blue
like the rays of the great central sun
shining  with equanimity upon all sentient beings.

Homage to Guru Manjushri
whose speech is melodic and pure.
A perfect and complete canon emanates from your lips...
DHIH … DHIH … DHIH … DHIH … DHIH …

Homage to Protector Manjushri
whose flaming sword conquers the 5 poisons:
attachment, anger, ignorance, jealousy and doubt.

Homage to you, Great Circle of Bliss,
unification of skillful means and wisdom --
Gone, gone, gone beyond, way beyond,
rooted in the fertile ground of enlightenment.
