Recognition of Buddha Maitreya

by Dema Thubton Chukor Gling Monastery

Translation of the Certificate

As for the holy head-ornament [of the Buddha], named Buddha Maitreya, the westerner, lord of a heavenly realm, who with the firm self-control of non-objectifying compassion guides as he wishes those who wander, sunk in the realm of rebirth, the ocean of beings of samsara with minds polluted—as for this high one, we of Denma Tubten Chokhor Gling, since you are the master of the teaching, and since the lama and all disciples, as well as the order and the monastery, have faith and clearly acknowledge you as such, unquestionably henceforth we place ourselves firmly before the throne of Mijig-dorje, the Lord of this dharma-field in person, rejecting other leaders. And with each and every ray of light of your body, speech and mind, you spontaneously illumine for the world the good mantra path of the Buddha, while achieving a spotless life. Beyond that, all your rebirths will be happy ones.

Wise one, Wise one.

Such is my prayer.
