Manjushri Prayer
-----------------------------
He who has the intuitive wisdom that disperses the clouds of the two obscurations, like the sun shedding a glorious light that is utterly pure.
He who understands all meaning whatsoever, of perfect realization, from whose heart emerges the lotus holding the books of the perfection of wisdom.
Those live in Samsara are the prisoners of ignorance, afflicted by the darkness of suffering.
Looking after all sentient beings with compassion, like a mother looking after an only child, you have a melodious voice of sixty tones.
Roaring like a dragon, you wake people from the sleep of conflicting emotions, freeing one from the iron shackles of karma.
Dispelling the darkness of their ignorance, thus you wield the sword which cuts down the shoots of suffering.
Primordially pure, having reached the tenth Bodhisattva level the perfect body of highest qualities, the foremost son of the Buddhas.
Adorned with the hundred and twelve ornaments (major and minor physical perfections of a Buddha) I bow to you, Manjushri, please dispel the darkness of my mind.
OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI
I beseech you with the loving kindness of your omniscient light rays
To completely dispel the dark ignorance of my mind, thus giving me the intellectual courage and intelligence to understand the Teachings of the Buddha, their elucidating treatises (Shastras) and commentaries.
Dedication
----------------
May whatever merit that is accumulated
Defeat all negative energies
Like the cyclic waves of the ocean
May all beings be freed of Samsara
Precious Bodhicitta
May it grow for those who are lacking
May it not disintegrate for those who have it
May Bodhicitta forever grow
(Prayers from Pajna Field Society;

I feel so touched by this Manjushri prayer when I first read it years ago and I become misty-eyed when I first copied it. Each time I read it, especially after a lapse of time, I always feel touched by it again. _/|\_
