ཆོས་ལྔ་པོ་གང་གིས་མངོན་པར་འཕགས་པ་ཡིན་ཞེ་ན། སངས་རྒྱས་བྱུང་བ་མཉེས་པར་བྱེད་པས་མངོན་པར་འཕགས་པ་ཡིན། དགེ་བའི་བཤེས་གཉེན་ལ་སྟེན་པས་མངོན་པར་འཕགས་པ་ཡིན། དལ་བ་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་ཐོབ་པས་མངོན་པར་འཕགས་པ་ཡིན། ཇི་ལྟར་དགེ་བའི་ཆོས་བསྒྲུབས་པ་ཆུད་མི་ཟ་བས་མངོན་པར་འཕགས་པ་ཡིན། སྡོམ་པ་ལ་གནས་པའི་བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་སེམས་དཔའ་ཆེན་པོའི་རྗེས་སུ་བསླབས་པས་མངོན་པར་འཕགས་པ་ཡིན་ཏེ།
