aspirations to be reborn in Sukhāvatī (bde ba can), the western pureland of Buddha Amitābha
The Aspiration to be Reborn in the Pure Realm of Sukhavati (Tib. རྣམ་དག་བདེ་ཆེན་ཞིང་གི་སྨོན་ལམ་, Wyl. rnam dag bde chen zhing gi smon lam) aka Dechen Mönlam or Dé Mön (བདེ་སྨོན་, bde smon), by Karma Chakmé Rinpoche (aka Raga Asé) is perhaps the most famous aspiration prayer to be reborn in Sukhavati, the heaven of Amitabha, in the Tibetan tradition.
Karma Chakmé (Tib. ཀརྨ་ཆགས་མེད་, Wyl. karma chags med) (1613-78), aka Raga Asé (Skt. rāgāsya; Tib. རཱ་ག་ཨ་སྱ་, Wyl. rA ga a sya), was one of the most highly realized and accomplished scholar-yogins of Tibet. An important Karma Kamtsang teacher, he was recognized by many as the incarnation of the ninth Karmapa. His teachers included the most famous masters of his time, both Nyingma and Kagyü. He was both the teacher and student of Tertön Mingyur Dorjé‎.

Brief Sukhāvatī Aspiration

from the terma of Mingyur Dorje



ཨེ་མ་ཧོ༔ ངོ་མཚར་སངས་རྒྱས་སྣང་བ་མཐའ་ཡས་དང་༔

emaho, ngotsar sangye nangwa tayé dang

Emaho! Amitābha, magnificent Buddha of Boundless Light,

གཡས་སུ་ཇོ་བོ་ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེན་པོ་དང་༔

yé su jowo tukjé chenpo dang

With the great compassionate lord Avalokiteśvara to his right,

གཡོན་དུ་སེམས་དཔའ་མཐུ་ཆེན་ཐོབ་རྣམས་ལ༔

yöndu sempa tuchen tob nam la

And the bodhisattva Mahāsthāmaprāpta on his left,1

སངས་རྒྱས་བྱང་སེམས་དཔག་མེད་འཁོར་གྱིས་བསྐོར༔

sangye changsem pakmé khor gyi kor

Surrounded by an assembly of countless buddhas and bodhisattvas

བདེ་སྐྱིད་ངོ་མཚར་དཔག་ཏུ་མེད་པ་ཡི༔

dekyi ngotsar paktu mepa yi

In the place of wonder and boundless joy and happiness

བདེ་བ་ཅན་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ཞིང་ཁམས་དེར༔

dewachen zhejawé zhingkham der

That is the heavenly realm of Sukhāvatī, the Blissful Paradise.

བདག་ནི་འདི་ནས་ཚེ་འཕོས་གྱུར་མ་ཐག༔

dak ni di né tsé pö gyur ma tak

When the time comes for me to leave this present life,

སྐྱེ་བ་གཞན་གྱིས་བར་མ་ཆོད་པ་རུ༔

kyewa zhen gyi bar ma chöpa ru

May I go there directly, without any other birth upon the way,

དེ་རུ་སྐྱེས་ནས་སྣང་མཐའི་ཞལ་མཐོང་ཤོག༔

dé ru kyé né nang té zhal tong shok

And being reborn there, may I see Amitābha face to face!

དེ་སྐད་བདག་གིས་སྨོན་ལམ་བཏབ་པ་འདི༔

deké dak gi mönlam tabpa di

May this, my fervent prayer of aspiration,

ཕྱོགས་བཅུའི་སངས་རྒྱས་བྱང་སེམས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱིས༔

chok chü sangye changsem tamché kyi

Be blessed by all the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions

གེགས་མེད་འགྲུབ་པར་བྱིན་གྱིས་བརླབ་ཏུ་གསོལ༔

gekmé drubpar jingyi lab tu sol

So that it is accomplished, without the slightest hindrance!

ཏདྱ་ཐཱ༔ པཉྩ་ནྡྲི་ཡ་ཨཱ་ཝ་བོ་དྷ་ནཱ་ཡེ་སྭཱ་ཧཱ༔

teyatha | pentsadriya awabodhanayé soha

tadyathā pañcendriyāvabodhanīye svāhā



ཞེས་པ་འདི་ནི་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་མི་འགྱུར་རྡོ་རྗེ་དགུང་ལོ་བཅུ་གསུམ་གསེར་འཕྱང་གི་ལོ་ས་ག་ཟླ་བའི་ཚེས་བདུན་ལ་གཙོ་འཁོར་རྣམས་ཀྱིས་ཞལ་གཟིགས་པའི་ཚེ་སངས་རྒྱས་སྣང་བ་མཐའ་ཡས་ཀྱིས་དངོས་སུ་གསུངས་པའོ།། །།

When Tulku Mingyur Dorje was thirteen years old, on the 7th day of the month of Saga Dawa, Fire Bird year (1657), he had a vision of the deities of the maṇḍala, and Buddha Amitābha spoke these words directly.

↑ Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Tib. mthu chen thob), whose name means 'The One Who Gained Great Power', is one of the two main bodhisattvas who appear in Sukhāvatī together with Amitābha. In Tibetan Buddhism, he came to be identified with Vajrapāṇī, although they are separate bodhisattvas in the sūtras and in other forms of Buddhism.
