Like a cucumber (detaching) from the stem, I want to detach from death,
not from immortality.
Translation by the Dalai Lama:
I meditate on and surrender myself to the divine being who embodies the
power of will, the power of knowledge and the power of action.
I pray to the divine being who manifests in the form of fragrance in
the flower of life and who is the eternal nurturer of the plant of life.
Like a skilful gardener, may the God of Life release me from the
binding forces of my physical, psychological and spiritual enemies.
May the God of immortality take up residence in me, free me from death, decay and disease and unite me with immortality.
