Prayers

This beautiful devotional prayer of 'calling the guru from afar' (bla ma rgyang 'bod) was composed in Yolmo in 1985.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche wrote this song of "calling the guru from afar" (bla ma rgyang 'bod) to accompany the guru yoga ("A Rang Rig Ma Chö…") he had previously composed.

This well-known devotional prayer invokes the inspiration and blessing of the three-kāya guru in order to perfect the view, meditation and action of Dzogpachenpo.

This famous song of devotion, which is addressed to the Karmapa, is included in the Treasury of Instructions (gdams ngag mdzod).

Khenpo Ngawang Palzang adapted this devotional prayer to Longchen Rabjam from a famous song addressed to the Karmapa written by the Fifth Shamarpa, Könchok Yenlak (1525–1583).
