Desciple of Avalokiteśvara

Two thousand years after my passing,

The teachings will spread in the land of the red-faced ones,

Who will be the disciples of Avalokita.

[At that time,] the bodhisattva Simhanada, known as “Karmapa”, will appear.

Possessing mastery over samādhi, he will tame beings

And establish them in bliss through seeing, hearing, recalling and touching.

- Samadhiraja Sūtra.
