 The Words of the Truth Pacifying the Dangers of Weapons

 Om mani padme hum

 Great loving Victorious (Maitreya Buddha),
 Sublime Compassion Eye looking one,
 Wrathful Victorious Hayagriva,
 Lord Pure Ethical Tara and so forth.

 Merely by hearing the holy name eliminates all the dangers.
 Object of refuge, nature of compassion, please pay
attention!

 The sentient beings of the quarrelling time, five
degeneration sentient beings,
 The great ocean of evil karma and jealousy exploded,
suffering by intensive fighting.
 Please make it dry by the strength of transcendental
wisdom and compassion,
 By letting fall a great nectar rain of loving-kindness.

 To the transcendental migratory beings whose hatred fire
is blazing,
 By making fall the great nectar rain of loving kindness.
 With the recognition of each other like parents.
 Please bless to increase happiness and auspiciousness.

 May the multitudes of the vicious evil sprits,
 Who by entering the mental continuum,
 Changes it instantly to the mind of asura.
 From now on may they never run in these areas
(country/world).

 I am requesting even all the sentient beings who have died
in the war,
 Abandoned by the evil karma, cause and the result.
 Even after entered, born in the blissful field (Amitabha
pure land)
 And lead all others in that pure land.

 Please bless all those who born and die (samsaric beings)
 To have long life and to not have sicknesses, pacify all
the quarrelling and fighting,
 Enjoy the life in ten virtues, rainfall at right times and
to always have good harvests.
 All the habitat and inhabitants to be auspicious and
increase.

 By the ultimate reality that which is pure nature,
 And having ultimate reality, the cause and result,
unbetrayable,
 And the compassionate Guru, mind seal Deity and rare
sublime ones,
 May the pure extensive prayers be completed.

 When there was unceasing war in Tibet, in Kham (Me Nyak)
and nobody was able to create harmony, the Great Lord Yogi
came to Kham and generated bodhichitta and just merely by
saying these true words and sprinkling flowers all the
vicious minds (jealousy and anger) all were completely
pacified and the war that had been continuous, stopped.
There was prosperity in the harvests and so forth. The
country became auspicious and peaceful. This is blessed
vajra holy speech.

 This is one of the prayers of the Great Tantric Tang Tong
Gyalpo. The other prayers that he composed were to stop
famine and epidemics.

 His Holiness Chobgye Trinchen Rinpoche, who is a Guru of
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and also one of the main
teachers of His Holiness Sakya Trinzen, received the Sakya
Lamdang teachings and initiations, including Dorje Phurba.
His Holiness Chobgye Trinchen Rinpoche was invited to some
part of Nepal by the Nepalese Government. Rinpoche checked
what could be most beneficial for them and what prayer was
most needed to benefit them. It came out the best practice
for them to do was these three prayers composed by Tang
Tong Gyalpo. So then Rinpoche decided to give the oral
transmission of these three prayers. That's how I found out
about these prayers and I received the oral transmission
from His Holiness Chobgye Trinchen Rinpoche.

 Whatever merits have come from making this translation
available may wherever this text is (whichever country) and
also by reading this prayer, may all the peoples hearts be
filled with loving kindness, bodhichitta and the thought to
only benefit and not harm. May the sun of peace and
happiness arise and may any wars that are happening stop
immediately. May there be harmony, peace and may there
never be war or violence again.
