Beside utterly pure ocean, turquoise mandala,
Under utterly clear sky, a tent of royal blue
Lies the utterly peaceful monastery—the Gampo Abbey
Utterly beautiful mountains, great heaps of precious jewels
Utterly devoted men and women gathered here, students so very fortunate
Utterly beautiful sound of Dharma, proclaimed for all of us to hear
Joining us with the utterly supreme great seal of Mahamudra
Of all the miracles, this miracle is king
Of all the wonders, this wonder is supreme!
