Generate the following motivation:

The purpose of my life is to free all sentient beings, who are the origin of all my past, present, and future happiness, from the oceans of suffering and its causes—the delusions—and lead them to the peerless happiness of full enlightenment. Therefore, I must attain enlightenment, and therefore I must recite the great mantra of the Unchangeable Wheel Essence to protect the country and to bring great peace and happiness to everyone.

The Bhagavan, Guru Shakyamuni Buddha (Destroyer Qualified Gone Beyond), told Deva Garbha that in the future, in order to protect the pure country, this land of the Buddha, established with its king and kings’ dynasty, he must recite the great mantra of the Unchangeable Wheel Essence. By the power of the words and the glory of the great mantra of the Unchangeable Wheel Essence, the entire country would be protected. Then, in future times in this land of the Buddha, all enemies will not harm the king, the kings’ dynasty, and all their virtues. They will be protected so as to never be separate from the Buddha and to be within the entourage of the Buddha.

From then on Deva Garbha, the great Perfected One, expressed the words of the great mantra of the Unchangeable Wheel Essence in order to protect the entire country.

Recitation of the Mantra:

TAYATA MUNI MORE / MUNI GHA BHE / MUNI KI LI DHA YE / MUNI ROGI BA TSA LE / MUNI HALI DE / MUNI GHA ME SHE BHA KHYE / MIRLA BHAG / KHE BHAA LA LA BHAG KHYE / SO RI KIRTA / TOR NA KIR TSA LE / BHA TAG SHA KIR TE / KU KU LA MIR LE / AVA SHYA SA RE / ER HA KI LI BHA / MUNI BHAA THABA SVAHA

The Great Perfected One, Deva Garbha, expressed and requested to Guru Shakyamuni Buddha, the Destroyer Qualified Gone Beyond One, with many entourages, to please rejoice in the expression of the great mantra by men.

At that time, Guru Shakyamuni Buddha (Destroyer Qualified Gone Beyond One) said to the great Mugalyana (one of the heart disciples of the Buddha) and to the bodhisattvas and mahasattvas, Maitreya, and so forth: “A son of the race must memorize and should hold these words of the great mantra called the Unchangeable Wheel Essence offered by the Great Perfected One, Deva Garbha, in order to protect the country with the mantra.”

The Buddha explained elaborately to all the king’s race and to all the virtuous kings, “In the future, in this world, due to this cause and condition, the king’s race and the virtuous kings with their entourage and all the people living in the country will receive benefit and happiness. They will always turn the wheel of Dharma and be extremely far-famed and highly glorified. Evil views will be destroyed and the right view will be established. Beings will have the Dharma eye and will cause the Triple Gem’s existence to continue unceasingly. Limitless sentient beings minds’ will be completely ripened and devotion to the Mahayana will be strongly stabilized. Beings will abide in the meditation of the Six Perfections, cut all defilements, and will come to quickly abide beyond the limits of defilement (abide in full enlightenment).

Dedication:

May the supreme jewel bodhicitta
That has not arisen, arise and grow;
And may that which has arisen not diminish
But increase more and more.

May the loving compassionate thought of bodhicitta
be generated within the minds of everyone in Nepal and in my family.
May sickness, famine, fighting, and dispute never arise.
May harm from earth, water, fire, and wind never occur.
May we continually enjoy the peace and happiness of the holy Dharma
like the rising of the sun.

May all the father and mother sentient beings have happiness.
May all the lower realms become empty forever.
May all the bodhisattvas, whoever or wherever they are,
May all their prayers be actualized immediately.

Through the merits of these virtuous actions
May I quickly attain the state of a guru-buddha
And lead all living beings, without exception,
Into that enlightened state.

Just as the brave Manjushri and Samantabhadra, too,
Realized things as they are,
I, too, dedicate all these merits in the best way,
That I may follow their perfect example.
