Verse 45.
045.
En stræber-på-stien vil overvinde denne verden, dette rige af Yama og dette område af mænd og guder. En stræber-på-stien vil perfektionere den vel-lærte sti af sandhed, som en ekspert guirlande-mager finder og vælger de smukkeste blomster til hans design.

When people we know die, like family, friends and so, we can recite Chenrezigs mantra Om Mani Padme Humand that is like a rainbow bridge that leads them in the right direction. To a human rebirth, where they can get everything they need to develop.
Every colour of light closes a door to a certain rebirth. White light (OM) closes the door to a rebirth as a deva. The green light (MA) closes the door to a rebirth as an asura. Yellow light (NI) is a human rebirth, which is what we wish for, but a suitable human rebirth with optimal conditions to practice. With access to education, health, dharma etc. The turqoise light (PAD) closes the door to the animal realm (sometimes a grayish light). The red light (ME) closes the door to the preta realm, the hungry ghosts. The blue/black light (HUM) closes the door to the hell realms, a rebirth as a narak hell-being.
Especially if people die a not so good death, an accident, suicide, this is really good practice. We send a lot of light and incense together with Om Mani Padme Hum.

Who shall overcome this earth, this realm of Yama and this sphere of men and gods? Who shall bring to perfection the well-taught path of wisdom as an expert garland-maker would his floral design?

Chenrezigs mantra: OM MANI PAD ME HUM
There are 6 syllables:
We need to generate the 6 Bodhisattva Perfections
generosity, ethics, patience, effort, concentration and wisdom
We need to heal the 6 samsara realms:
the hell realm (narak beings), hungry ghosts (pretas), the animal realm, the human realm, the jealous gods (asuras), the gods (devas).
We need to realize the wisdom of the 6 Buddhas (the 5 Dhyani Buddhas and Vajradhara):
mirror-like wisdom, discriminating wisdom, dharmadhatu wisdom, equalizing wisdom, accomplishing wisdom

Ere long, alas! this body will lie upon the earth, unheeded and lifeless, like a useless log.

If you are having problems with your eyes, or have an eye disease, it is beneficial to do Migchey Chenrezig practice, or Chenrezig who opens the eyes.
This practice cannot only help heal eye problems, but can also be done, when one does not have eye problems, to open one's third eye or Wisdom Eye.
See the practice here..
This form of Chenrezig is white and has four arms. He has to hands in front of his heart in the open eyes mudra. The other two hands hold a vase to wash the impurities from your eyes and a mirror to see reality with wisdom (emptiness). He stands on a lotus flower with a moon cushion, with a peaceful face and the 6 jewels of a Bodhisattva (representing the 6 Perfections).
