2.17

"May I, having discarded this body,
Quickly attain mastery of form;
Having attained mastery in the Dharma-body,
May I be master in all destinies,
Wherever there is benefit to be made,
Protecting the Dharma and rescuing sentient beings.
Furthermore, karma must come to an end;
Conditioned phenomena are all like this.
The trailokya is entirely impermanent;
When the time comes, there is no freedom.
Killed by others or dying of oneself,
In the end one returns to such a place.
What the wise do not delight in—
Karma comes to an end today."
