As you utter “a, !” look into the actual face of the great primordial dharmakya—the very nature of your own mind that from the very beginning is utterly beyond alteration or change, beyond rejecting or accepting anything at all. Once again, consider all illusion-like appearances as the nature of the guru. Dedicate the merit and make prayers for auspiciousness, so that peace and wellbeing prevail.
End the practice well by recognizing all illusory appearance as the nature of the guru, dedicating the merit and making a prayer of prosperity.
On the eighth day of the waxing moon in the seventh month of ‘Taming All Beings’,1 this arose from the oceanic mind of Mipham Nampar Gyalwa, one who prays and aspires to serve Guru Padmasambhava in all his lives. May virtue ensue!
Magala.
Monastery, Guru Rinpoche spoke this prayer. He had displayed the Vajradhatu Mandala to the king Trisondeutsen and
twenty-four disciples who always retained that sacred experience. The later generation of disciples should concentrate one-
pointedly upon the sacred experience of this prayer.)
I invoke the Victorious Ones of the ten directions and the four times along with their heart sons, and the assembly
of Lamas, Yidams, Dakinis, and Dharma protectors as numerous as the dust of the fields. To those sitting on a lotus and
moon seat in the sky in front of me, I respectfully pay homage with body, speech, and mind. I offer the essence of the outer,
inner, and secret offerings in the presence of the supreme Buddhas. I regret my former evil actions and completely acknowledge
my present misdeeds. I vow henceforth not to commit these negative acts. I rejoice in all meritorious and virtuous activity.

the supreme liberation. I pray that the Buddhas and their heart sons will hold me in their thoughts. May this excellent
aspiration which I am now beginning lead me in the footsteps of the Victorious Samantabhadra, his sons, and the noble
Manjushri. May the precious Lamas, glory of the doctrine, be as all-pervasive as the sky. May they shine upon beings as the
sun and moon and endure as the mountains. May the precious Sangha, foundation of the teachings, be enriched by harmony,
pure discipline and the three trainings. May those practicing the secret teaching, the essence of the doctrine, maintain their
vows and reach the final stages of development and fulfillment. May the benefactor of the teaching, king who protects the
Dharma, increase his domain and support the teaching. May the servants of the teaching, ministers of the royal lineage,

May

prosperous
householders,

teachings,
be
at
ease
and
free

May the people of all lands, having
confidence in the teaching, have happiness and comfort free from obscuration. May I,
the yogin, remaining on the path, not break my commitments and accomplish my intention.
May all those to whom I am connected by good or bad karma be held by
the Buddhas from now until final enlightenment.
