    The Prayer of Yeshe Tsogyal

    When, on the Gungthang Pass in Mangyul, the great master


    Padmasambhava was about to depart for the south-western land of rakshasas, Yeshe
    Tsogyal prostrated, circumambulated him, and, placing his feet on her head, uttered the
    following prayer:
    NAMO GURU

    Great Guru, bless me


    That in all my future lives,
    In the palaces of pure realms
    I may commit myself to you and never be parted from you!
    With never-fluctuating devotion
    May I joyfully carry out your wishes
    And receive the transmission of your nectar-like blessings,
    The essence of your mind, profound realization!
    May the blessings of your body, speech and mind,
    Mature my body, speech and mind;
    May I receive empowerment for the profound stages of creation and perfection,
    And put them into practice!
    May I still the demons of false view,
    Sickness, negative forces and obstacles,
    And increase my following and resources,
    So that all my wishes are fulfilled!
    In cemeteries, mountain retreats and snow ranges
    And other places with all the right qualities
    May I constantly practice
    The profound meditation of the quintessential view!
    As a result of my practice,
    May I accomplish the four activities
    And, compelling gods and rakshas to subservience,
    May I protect the Buddhas doctrine!
    May all the sublime teachings expounded by the Buddha
    Arise effortlessly in my mind;
    Having achieved the highest knowledge,
    May I attain ultimate realization!
    Through the power of bodhicitta
    May I gather all beings under my influence,
    And by the unobstructible might of this wishing gem
    May all these connections be made meaningful!

    Through the spread of the Buddhas teaching


    May those who hold the lineage and teach the dharma proliferate,
    May all beings be brought to bliss,
    And all realms become pure buddha fields!
    May there arise infinite emanations
    From my body, speech and mind
    To benefit each and every being
    In accord with his needs and capacity!
    In shortthe whole of sasra and nirva, without exception,
    Being inseparable from the nature of the guru,
    May I swiftly attain omniscient buddhahood
    In which the three kyas neither merge nor separate!
    May sentient beings offer their prayers!
    May the gurus bestow their blessings!
    May the yidams grant accomplishments!
    May the kins give predictions!
    May the dharma protectors dispel obstacles!
    May the Buddhas doctrine spread and proliferate,
    May all beings have well-being and happiness
    And practice the dharma day and night,
    May our own and others aims be spontaneously accomplished!
    By this entirely pure merit,
    May I stir up the depths of sasra, especially the lower realms,
    And may we remain no more in the ocean of existence
    But together realize the three kyas!
    May the great secret treasure of all the conquerors,
    This supreme and consummate teaching,
    Rise like the sun into the sky
    And spread throughout the world!
    Having cultivated this and other positive actions,
    May I possess all the perfect qualities of the wisdom mind of the glorious guru!
    May I become a powerful being propagating the Buddhas precious teaching!
    Having attained the highest knowledge, love and power, may I
    become a perfect Buddha! May all sentient beings in the six
    realms be liberated from sasra, the great ocean of
    suffering, and swiftly attain consummate buddhahood!
    This was taken out from Lion-Head Rock in the medicinal valley of Lhodrak by Pema
