Prayer and Meditation
O saints and sages who dwell in the ten directions, merciful, omniscient, with the five kinds of eyes, loving protectors of all living beings, come to this place by the power of compassion and receive my material and spiritual offering. Compassionate ones, you possess discerning wisdom, loving compassion, effective action, and protective power over all imagination. I go from this world to the other shore.
Leave the world, there is nothing left but to die. All alone, without friends, without refuge, with great suffering and without allies. The light of my life has gone down on me, I'm going into another world. Step into the darkness and fall into a deep abyss, enter a dense forest. Haunted by my consequences, I go into the barren wilderness and am washed away by a vast ocean. Get carried by winds of consequence. Where there is no solid ground, there I go.
Alpstein - Appenzell - Funeral Service
Haunted by the great evil spirit and the messengers of the lord of death terrify me. Helpless I go from existence to existence. The time has come when I must go without a friend. Merciful, since I have refuge, him that has no refuge. Protect me, defend me and save me from the great darkness of the intermediate world between death and birth. Lead me past the great whirlwind of death, protect me from the great fear of the lord of death. Save me from the long and dangerous trek.
Don't let a living being fall under the power of his bad deeds. All the best on your final journey and rest in peace!
