Tulku Namgyal had asked me to write a prayer for causing the Teaching of Buddha to flourish in the Khamgön monastery, and I was just beginning to write when a red dakini appeared and said: “Wait! When the time comes, I’ll speak it to you!” Time went by, and I was in the Crystal Cave of Padma in Gyaltö, when that same dakini appeared and this is what she said:

KÖNCHOK SUM DANG SHAKYÉ GYAL

Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and the Lord of the
Shakyas, Shakyamuni,

RIK SUM GÖN DANG MAPAM PA

Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri and Vajrapani, and Maitreya,

NÉTEN CHENPO CHUDRUK DANG

The sixteen Great Sthaviras,

PÉMA JUNG NÉ DEN TOP KYI

And Padmakara—

LAMÉ KUTSÉ TEN GYUR CHIK

Through your power and through your truth, may the lives of the masters be secure!

GENDÜN DÉ PEL TUK TÜN SHOK

May the sangha increase and dwell in harmony!

TENPÉ GAL KYEN KUN SHYI SHYING

May all circumstances hostile to the Teaching be pacified!

SHÉ DRUP TRINLÉ DARGYÉ SHOK

May the activities of study and practice grow and spread!

“These words are the mothers’ last advice. There is still much more to this, and it will be explained, when the time is right.” This is what she said and I, Lerab Lingpa, wrote it down.
