Invocation of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Bardo Thodol

From: The Great Liberation upon Hearing in the Intermediate State. (Bardo Thodol)

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, abiding in the Ten Directions, endowed with great compassion, endowed with foreknowledge, endowed with the divine eye, endowed with love, affording protection to sentient beings, condescend through the power of your great compassion to come hither; condescend to accept these offerings actually laid out and mentally created.

Compassionate Ones, who possess the wisdom of understanding, the love of compassion, the power of divine deeds and of protecting, in incomprehensible measure. 

Compassionate Ones, [one of us] is passing from this world to the world beyond. That one is leaving this world. They are taking a great leap, with no friends. Misery is great. [They are without] defenders, without protectors, without forces and kinsmen. The light of this world hath set.

They go to another place. 
They enter into thick darkness. 
They fall down a steep precipice. 
They enter into a jungle of solitude. 
They are pursued by Karmic Forces. 
They go into the Vast Silence. 
They are borne away by the Great Ocean. 
They are wafted on the Wind of Karma. 
They go in the direction where stability exists not. 
They are caught by the Great Conflict. 
They are obsessed by the Great Afflicting Spirit. 
They are awed and terrified by the Messengers of the Lord of Death. 
Existing Karma has put them into repeated existence. 
No strength have they. 
They have come upon a time when they must go alone.

Compassionate Ones, defend (who) is defenseless. Protect them who is unprotected. Be their forces and kinsmen. Protect [them] from the great gloom of the Bardo. Turn them from the red [stormy] wind of Karma. Turn them from the great awe and terror of the Lords of Death. Save them from the long narrow passage-way of the Bardo.

Compassionate Ones, let not the force of your compassion be weak; but aid them. Let them not go into misery [or into miserable states of existence]. Forget not your ancient vows; and let not the force of your compassion be weak.

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, let not the might of the method of your compassion be weak towards this one. Catch hold of them with [the hook of] your grace. Let not the sentient being fall under the power of evil karma.

Holy Trinity, protect them from the miseries of the Bardo.
