Manjushri

Long Praise to Manjushri

I bow to Mañjusri with utmost respect

Gentle-voiced guide, you always protect

From clouds of two veils, your wisdom is free

Brilliant and pure, like sunshine you be

The nature of truth you see and impart

A volume of prajna you hold at your heart

Clouded by ignorance in endless night

Beings suffer cruelly from torment and fright

Oṁ Wāgī Śvari Mūṁ

Entrapped in the prison of samsara's guile

You love everyone, like a mother her child

With sixty tones, your rich voice resounds

Like roaring dragons and thunder it pounds

Sábio e gentil

Na fala e agir

Maestria na escrita

Uma honra servir

Sua espada flameja

Empunha a cortar

Da ignorância

Nos alivia

Waking us up from the anguish of sleep

You break the chains of the karma we reap

Your sword cuts swiftly the root of our pain

Dispelling the blindness we cling to in vain

Perfectly pure with qualities rare

Ten bhumis traversed, the conquerors heir.

Adorned with a hundred and twelve noble signs

You are the Buddha who constantly shines!

Lighting the darkness of mind here and now

Manjushri to you, I wholeheartedly bow!
