The inscription translates to:
Having vast knowledge of scriptures,
the rhythm of the four virtues make all the sentient beings rest blissfully,
I prostrate to the feet of the great teacher and pray,
whose noble cause is to flourish Buddha dharma.
The lineage master who bestow,
the co-emergence of the great bliss of luminosity with clarity and emptiness,
to samsara, nirvana, one’s mind, dreams and illusions,
May I pray to such master and bless me.

TIBET, 16TH CENTURY
