སངས་རྒྱས་ཉི་མ་མཚན་དཔེའི་ཞལ་མཐོང་ཞིང༌། །

sangye nyima tsenpé zhal tong zhing

May I behold the sun-like Buddha with his signs and marks,

དམ་ཆོས་ཉི་མ་སྙིང་གི་བདུད་རྩིར་སྤྱོད། །

damchö nyima nying gi dütsir chö

May I savour the nectar of the sun-like Dharma in my heart,

དགེ་འདུན་ཉི་མ་ཐར་པའི་གྲོགས་གྱུར་ནས། །

gendün nyima tarpé drok gyur né

And may the sun-like Saṅgha accompany me to liberation—

མཆོག་གསུམ་ཉི་མའི་འོད་དང་མི་འབྲལ་ཤོག །

chok sum nyimé ö dang mindral shok

From the light of these three sun-like Supreme Ones, may I never part!
