Should you wish to pay homage and make offerings and prayers to the Buddha and the sixteen sthaviras, prepare some offerings, and arrange them cleanly and beautifully before an image of Buddha Shakyamuni and his retinue. If this is not possible, the practice may be done as a visualization.

Three times.

With this, the place and offerings are all blessed.

Then, focusing your aspiration one-pointedly, recite the following:

When doing the practice more elaborately, the longer verses of praise and offering to the arhats can be done here. If you are doing the concise version then simply continue with:

With this, perform the seven-branch offering. If you are an ordained monk or nun, and you need to do the practices of Sojong or Düdren, they can be done here.

Recite this prayer and then further adorn the practice with verses of auspiciousness.

The carefree Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo composed this prayer for the benefit of those with faith. May it be accomplished!

Visualizing this, recite ‘The Prayer in Seven Chapters’ and ‘The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Spontaneously Fulfils All Wishes’, ‘The Seven Line Prayer’, and ‘The Prayer which Removes All Obstacles from the Path’, along with prayers taken from the earlier and later terma treasures, and prayers of any kind that carry the blessing of the vajra speech of the saints of the past. Recite them with an intense longing and yearning, and an all-consuming devotion.

If you can not manage this much, then it will be all right simply to recite ‘The Prayer to the Three Kaya Guru’ and ‘The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Spontaneously Fulfils All Wishes’. Whatever you do, at the end call out to Guru Rinpoche and invoke his wisdom mind by chanting the Vajra Guru mantra as much as possible.

So, seal the practice with prayers of dedication.

To fit the exact requirements in the request made by the great incarnate treasure revealer Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, this was composed by the favourite servant of the lake-born guru, Khyentséi Wangpo Pema Ösel Dongak Lingpa. May all things be well!

Through the blessing of the great master of Orgyen who knows past, present and future, in the natural gathering place of dakas and dakinis, Drakmar Zangyak Namkha Dzong, on the upper slopes of Tibet’s five peaked mountain, while celebrating the tsok feast on the tenth day of the waxing moon of the miracle month of the Male Iron Dog year (1850), called ‘the common one’, the vidyadhara Khyentse Wangpo, favourite servant of the omniscient Guru, made this prayer, and may it be blessed so that it comes to pass exactly as it says.

These were the words of the holy one among the vidyadharas, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Siddhirastu!
