GREAT CLOUD OF BLESSINGS
The Prayer that Brings All Apparent Existence Under One’s Command

OM AH HUM HRIH
In the palace of magnetizing power, the blazing great bliss,
are the embodiments of the wisdom of discernment, bliss-emptiness,
arising from the lotus nature, blissful and free from attachment,
the glory of the great, illuminating vajra sun, Dharmakaya Amitabha, Vajradharma,
Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of all-embracing compassion,
Padmaraja, who brings all of samsara and nirvana under control,
the mighty heruka Hayagriva, subjugator of all apparent existence,
Guhyajnana, Vajravarahi,
King of Desire, supreme bliss, treasury of great bliss,
Kurukulla, who captivates the minds of beings without exception,
lords of supreme and ordinary mudras dancing in bliss-emptiness,
hosts of magnetizing vajra dakas and dakinis.

In the state of great equality of appearance and emptiness,
the dance of your vajra body shakes the three realms of existence.
The laughter of your ceaseless speech summons the three realms.
Pervading all of samsara and nirvana with rays of red light,
shaking and gathering the vital essence of existence and peace,
with the enlightened mind of great passion,
you grant the two kinds of siddhis, the supreme of all that is desired.
With great vajra hooks and lassos you bind apparent existence in great bliss.

Dancers of the infinite net of magical display,
as numerous as the seeds of a sesame pod opening,
the infinite assembly of magnetizing deities of the three roots,
I pray with devotion to you. Bestow your blessings.
Ordinary and supreme siddhis, the glory of all that is desired,
grant the siddhi of magnetizing them without obstruction.

This was written by the one named Dhih on the first day of the seventh month of the Earth Rabbit year (1879). Anyone who prays in this way will undoubtedly accomplish all magnetizing activities in accordance with their wishes. This prayer can be written on red flags raised in the air, or used in prayer wheels propelled by fire or wind. Mangalam!
