Turquoise Offering

Invoking Money to Wash Debt Clean ~ in the playful manner of our lineage of poets.

Primordial Rigden,
Shiwa Okar of the Basically Good,
Gesar Norbu Dradul, commander of fearless troops
King Ashoka of generous riches,
Milarepa, conqueror of karma…

To you I offer clouds of love and devotion.
Come in order to dispel these debt-ridden times.

Wash this debt clean
Dissolve its power
Free me from its chains
so that all my resources
all my money, time, and energy
are devoted to benefit.

Hosts of dralas, kindly werma,
carry forth the activities necessary.
Bring about the conditions –
of self & other union –
to accomplishment Shambhala.

Quell the obstacles of debt
Cause magic to ocurr
Bring power and abundance
to the flow of money among us
and inspire wisdom and compassion in its use.

Such Beauty -- Giving Way and Eroding through the Gentle Persistence of Water

Composed on the 13th day of the second month in the western calendar, on the eve of Shambhala Day’s Losar Festivities, by Shide Khading: Peaceful Joyous Garuda. With circumstances in mind — both personal and worldly — this aspiration emerged to invoke the amending power of the lineage and direct it toward washing clean obstructions and obstacles that debt — a root cause of suffering — creates.

May all beings be free from debt, and free to live with abundant financial means to respond to the moment’s needs and propel beings into a golden future.
