A Prayer for peace

By Ringu Tulku Rinpoche (in Tibetan, English and German).

སངས་རྒྱས་བྱང་སེམས་རྒྱ་མཚོའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།།
བདག་གིས་དུས་གསུམ་བསགས་པའི་དགེ་བའི་ཚོགས།།
ལྷག་བསམ་རྣམ་དག་སྨོན་པའི་ནུས་མཐུ་ཡིས་།།
འཇིག་རྟེན་ཁམས་འདིར་འཁྲུག་རྩོད་ནད་ཡམས་སོགས།།
ཉེས་ཚོགས་ཀུན་ཞི་བདེ་སྐྱིད་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས།།
ཕན་ཚུན་བྱམས་པའི་སེམས་དང་ལྡན་གྱུར་ཅིག། །།

By the blessings of Enlightened and Compassionate ones,
By the power of my positive actions of three times,
And my prayers of pure aspiration,
May wars, conflicts, epidemics
And all other maladies dissolve in this world,
And may the earth and all who live on this earth enjoy the abundance of wellbeing,
May all learn to live lovingly with each other.

Durch den Segen von Erleuchteten und Mitfühlenden,
Durch die Kraft meiner positiven Handlungen aus drei Zeiten,
und meine reinen Wunschgebete,
Mögen Kriege, Konflikte, Epidemien
Und alle anderen Leiden in dieser Welt sich auflösen,
Und möge die Erde und alle die auf dieser Erde leben
die Fülle des Wohlergehens genießen,
Mögen alle lernen, liebevoll miteinander zu leben.

New Year Message 2021

My mother passed away a week ago.
I miss her deeply but not sad.
68 years I basked at her loving presence.
This is the time to celebrate that fortune.
She only thought of what to give.
Never lost her genuine smile and good heart.
Even in our worst days
She never let any visitors to leave
Without a cup of hot tea.
I wish to thank all who sent me love
And kind messages
I wish you all a wonderful New Year
With health, wealth and harmony
And lots of kindness.

Life Is A Continuous Celebration

I rest in the natural state of being.
Appearances of six senses flow unobstructed.
Peace and joy permeates without seeking.
Life is just a continuous celebration.

~ Ringu Tulku

Rinpoche shared this stanza during his teaching on the topic Facing Difficulties at Bodhicharya Berlin, where he was staying for the week of his 67th birthday celebrations. The verses had spontaneously arisen in his mind at 4 am on July the 20th, 2019.

The teaching can be listened to in the Teachings Archive.
