Vast Luck Flag Translation

VAST LUCK FLAG

 The Vast Luck Flag can be flown as a prayer flag, hung on the wall of a house or folded up and worn around the neck as a charm for good luck. The design has a Double-Dorje in the center surrounded by a Garuda, a Peacock, an Elephant, and a Windhorse, each bearing an eight-petaled lotus yantra on which are inscribed the following Tibetan texts and Sanskrit mantras:

 The upper left-hand yantra says “May the life of this charm holder be raised sublimely like the flight of the Garuda .  Om! Sal sal hobana sal sal swaha! Om! Om! sarva kata kata sata kata sala ya nata sah wa ye swaha!  Om! Kili kili mili mili Kuru kuru hum hum ye swaha!  Oh! May the life of this charm-holder be raised on high!”

 The upper right-hand yantra says, “May the body of this charm holder be raised sublimely, like the flight of the peacock. Om! Yer yer hobana yer yer ye svaha!  Om! Sarva  tathagata bhiri bhiri bata bata miri miri mili mili ae bata sarva gata gata shramana sarva gata gata  shramana sarva!  Oh! May the body of this charm-holder to be raised on high!”

 The lower left-hand yantra says, “May the power this charm holder be raised sublimely like the precious elephant.  Om! Mer mer hobana mer mer ye swaha! Om sarva dhara dhara bara dhara ghi kha ye swaha! Sarva kili kili na hah kang li sarva bhara bhara sambhera sambhara!  Oh, may the power and wealth of this charm holder be increased, and may all injuries be guarded against.”

 In the lower right hand circle “May the Windhorse of this charm holder be raised sublimely with the swift movement of the precious horse.  Om! Lam lam hobana lam lam lam swaha! Om! Sarva kara kara phat! Sarva dhuru dhuru na phat! Sarva kata kata kata na phat! Sarva kili kili na phat! Sarva mala mala swaha!  Oh!  May the windhorse of this charm holder be raised on high and protected from all injuries.”

 The dorje (Sanskrit: dorje) is a diamond scepter representing that which can’t be destroyed. The double-dorje, crossed in the center, is a symbol for immortality.  In its center is written: “Om! Neh ya rani jiwanti ye swaha! Oh! May this charm holder be given the undying gift of soul everlasting!”

 The Eight Auspicious Symbols are pictured in between the yantra discs.  Around the perimeter is written The Four Noble Truths , the letters of the alphabet, and the words “May the life, body, power, and windhorse of the holder this charm prosper his body, speech, and good wishes  and cause them to increase like the growing new moon.  May they be possessed of all wealth and riches and be guarded against all kinds of injuries. “
