Today is the best day to have the aspiration of Samantabhadra

Buddha Samantabhadra/Kuntuzangpo

He is depicted as a buddha, sky-blue in colour, sitting in the vast expanse of space, and encircled by an aura of rainbow light. He is completely naked, meaning unstained by any trace of concept. His name, Kuntuzangpo in Tibetan, Samantabhadra in Sanskrit, means ‘always good', ‘always well’ or ‘unchanging goodness.’ What this signifies is that unchanging goodness, or fundamental goodness, is our ultimate nature.
In the Dzogchen teachings, our true nature, that state of the Ground, is given the name the 'Primordial Buddha'. Sogyal Rinpoche writes, "[Kuntuzangpo] represents the absolute, naked, sky-like primordial purity of the nature of our mind".

Very powerful prayer of Kuntuzangpo/Samantabhadra or kunzang monlam ("The Recitation of the Powerful Prayer in which Sentient Beings Cannot Resist Becoming Buddha”)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSbldGbH3Ok

"I, Kuntuzangpo, am the original Buddha of all, And through this prayer(The prayer of Kuntuzangpo or kunzang monlam)of mine May all you beings who wander in the three realms of samsara Realize this self-arising Awareness, And may your great wisdom spontaneously increase!
Thus it has been said.
This prayer was taken from the Ninth Chapter “The Recitation of
the Powerful Prayer(The prayer of Kuntuzangpo or kunzang monlam) in which Sentient Beings Cannot Resist
Becoming Buddha” from the tantric scripture “The unobstructed
Enlightened Mind of the Great Perfection Kuntuzangpo”.

"I, Kuntuzangpo, am the original Buddha of all, And through this prayer of mine May all you beings who wander in the three realms of samsara Realize this self-arising Awareness, And may your great wisdom spontaneously increase! "

By this prayer of Kuntuzangpo,

It is the self-originating infinite expanse, beyond expression,

Where not even the name of samsara or nirvana exists.

When realizing just this, you are a Buddha.
MA RIK SEM CHEN KHOR WAR CHYAM
When not realizing this, you are a sentient being wandering in samsara.
KHAM SUM SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY KYIY
May all sentient beings of the three realms realize
JÖ ME ZHI DÖN RIK PAR SHOK
The true meaning of this inexpressible original ground!
KÜN TU ZANG PO NGA YI CHYANG
I, Kuntuzangpo, have realized the true meaning of this original ground.
GYU KYEN ME PA ZHI YI DÖN
Free from cause and condition,
DE NYI ZHI LA RANG JYUNG RIK
The original ground is itself-originating awareness.

CHYI NANG DRO KUR KYON MA TAK
It is not designated as outer and inner, nor is it existent or non existent.
DREN ME MÜN PAI DRIB MA GÖ
It is not obscured by the darkness of unmindfulness.
DE CHYIR RANG NANG KYÖN MA GÖ
Thus, my own phenomena have never been stained.
RANG RIK SO LA NAY PA LA
I abide in the natural state of self-awareness,
SI SUM JIK CHYANG NGANG TRAK ME
Even though the three spheres of existence are destroyed, I have no fear,

DÖ YÖN NGA LA CHHAK PA ME
And I have no attachment to the five desirable qualities.

In self-originating mind, free of thought,
DÖ PAI ZUK DANG DUK NGA ME
There is neither solid form nor the five poisons.

The luminous aspect of awareness is unceasing,

The five original buddha families emerge.

And, through the expansion of their primordial wisdom,
SANG GYAY ZHI CHU TSA NYIY JYUNG
The forty-two Buddhas emerge.

Because the power of the five primordial wisdoms manifest,

Thus, original ground awareness has never been deluded.

Since I am the original Buddha,

Then by this prayer of mine

Oh, sentient beings of the three realms of samsara ,

By my compassionate prayer,

Oh, sentient beings of the three realms of samsara, may you all

Escape from the abodes of the six classes of beings!
DANG PO SEM CHEN T’HRUL PA NAM
Oh. sentient beings, you have been deluded from the beginning
ZHI LA RIK PA MA SHAR WAY
Because you have not recognized the original ground,
CHI YANG DREN ME T’HOM ME WA
You are unmindful of whatever occurs, an oblivious state.

DE KA MA RIK T’HRUL PAI GYU
It is the very state of unawareness, which is the cause of delusion.
DE LA HAY KYIY GYAL WA LAY
In that state you suddenly lose consciousness,
NGANG TRAK SHEY PA ZA ZI GYÜ
And from that unclear state fear comes into being.
DE LAY DAK ZHEN DRAR DZIN KYEY
From that arises clinging to self and clinging to other as enemy.
BAK CHHAK RIM ZHIN TAY PA LAY
This habitual tendency gradually grows,

KHOR WA LUK SU JUK PA JYUNG
And from this a progressive entry into samsara occurs.
DE LAY NYÖN MONG DUK NGA GYAY
Next, the five poisons of the passions develop,
DUK NGAI LAY LA GYUN CHHAY ME
And the karma of these five poisons is unceasing.
DE CHHYIR SEM CHEN T’HRUL PAI ZHI
Therefore, the ground of the delusion of sentient beings
DREN ME MA RIK YIN PAI CHHYIR
Is unmindfulness and unawareness.

SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
So, by my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
KUN GYI RIK PA RANG SHEY SHOK
May all of you recognize your own awareness!

Coemergent unawareness is

Unmindfulness and distraction.

Conceptual unawareness is

The dualism of self and other.

Both coemergent and conceptual unawareness are

The ground for the delusion of all sentient beings.
SANG GYAY NGA YI MÖN LAM GYIY
By my prayer, the Buddha Kuntuzangpo,
KHOR WAI SEM CHEN T’HAM CHAY KYI
May all of you sentient beings wandering in samsara

NYIY SU DZIN PAI SHEY PA DANG
And purify dualistic mind.

Dualistic mind is itself doubt.

Habitual tendencies become successively heavier.

You will realize the natural state of awareness.

May you attain discerning primordial wisdom!

When external objects appear,

There arise thoughts of competition and contempt for others,

You will be born in the god realm and experience the suffering of change and falling to lower realms.

And ultimately attain Buddhahood!

Thus it has been said.
