An invocation of wisdom mind of Buddhas
A Prayer of Aspiration to Dispel the Turmoil of Degenerate Times
Composed by Kyabje Chatral Rinpoche



This powerful aspiration prayer, composed by one of the most revered masters of the 20th century, Kyabje Chatral Rinpoche, is a deeply moving invocation calling upon the enlightened ones—Buddhas, bodhisattvas, dakinis, protectors, and lineage masters—to turn their compassionate gaze toward our world in turmoil.
With eloquent urgency, this prayer addresses the suffering, confusion, and destruction that mark our current age, often referred to in Buddhist teachings as a "dark time" or degenerate era. Yet it does not remain in lamentation—it is a call to courage, clarity, and altruism.
Now made available in a beautiful and practical form: a set of 10 prayer flags, each printed in A4 size, in the five traditional colors (blue, white, red, green, yellow), symbolizing the five elements and five wisdoms. Each flag carries the full text in both Tibetan and English, allowing practitioners from all backgrounds to engage with its message.
The prayer flags are printed on natural, environmentally respectful materials, honoring the earth and the sacred intention behind the words. As these flags flutter in the wind, they carry blessings and aspirations across space, benefiting all beings without distinction.
Whether hung in a home, on a retreat land, or at a sacred site, these flags serve not only as a reminder of our deepest values and aspirations, but also as a subtle yet powerful offering to the world—spreading compassion, dispelling fear, and strengthening the forces of peace and wisdom in these challenging times.
