Mountain of pure gold, shining like a hundred rising suns,
On a jewel-bedecked stallion,
Praise to the performer of Jina’s activities,
Treasury of life, merit and wish-granting siddhis.

– Fifth On-Gyalse Rinpoche (1743-1811), Yongdzin to the Ninth Dalai Lama, reincarnation of the founder of Kumbum (dgon lung) monastery in Amdo.
