The Great Mahastamaprapta Gatha
Mahastamaprapta, blessing all profoundly,
The Elect in Buddha Recitation’s Dharma Door,
As a child remembers the mother, we, mindful of the World Honoured One,
At once bestowed with His Blessings,
The Mind’s cause meshes with Enlightenment’s fruition,
Forthwith, returning to the Root and the Source,
May His perfect mastery of six senses, wonderful past excellent,
Penetrate and prevail in all Realms!
May His perfect mastery of six senses, wonderful past excellent,
Penetrate and prevail in all Realms!

Praise to Mahastamaprapta Bodhisattva
His Prajna Light radiates pervasively and jade-like clarity,
He crosses over suffering beings of the Triple Destinies,
Five Hundred Flower Terraces with interspersing radiance,
Manifesting throughout the Tenfold Directions’ of Buddha Lands,
Quaking the Great Thousand Systems whilst walking or sitting,
On His Ornate Crown is a firm jeweled water vase,
Attesting to Perfected Penetration and Self-Mastery,
In the Peerless Vehicle of Pure Mindfulness and Perpetual Awareness
Homage! One of Western Land of Ultimate Bliss,
Immeasurable Bodies of Fervent Radiance, Great Strength Bodhisattva!
Namo Mahastamaprapta Bodhisattva! (Recite while circumnambulating)

With one heart we bow to Great Strength Bodhisattva of the Western Land of Peace and Bliss.
His boundless bodies of blazing light pervade all Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas of the Dharma Realm.
