H.E. Garchen Rinpoche - Samantabhadra Prayer commentary - Day 3
'The aspiration prayer of Samantabhadra' Samantabhadra (sanskrit) or Kuntuzangpo (tibetan). Samantabhadra (sanskrit name literally means Universal Worthy), is a bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism, associated with Buddhist practice and meditation. Together with Shakyamuni Buddha and fellow bodhisattva Manjusri he forms the Shakyamuni trinity in Buddhism. He is the patron of the Lotus Sutra and, according to the Avataṃsaka Sutra, made the ten great vows which are the basis of a bodhisattva. In the Tibetan Nyingma school and Dzogchen tradition, Dharmakaya Samantabhadra (not the bodhisattva of the mahayana) is considered the primordial Buddha (unity of awareness and emptiness, the unity of appearances and emptiness, the nature of mind, natural clarity with unceasing compassion). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantabhadra 'The aspiration prayer of Samantabhadra' text http://www.garchen.net/resources/Samantabhadra-printer.pdf
