    About this ebook

    A booklet with the never before released meditation practice text written by Sogyal Rinpoche and accompanying illustrations to actualize the practice.

    Over many years of teaching, Sogyal Rinpoche has developed and revealed a special practice of Guru Rinpoche, which people have found particularly helpful and effective, and very relevant for today.

    Focusing on three aspects of Guru Rinpoche, it brings together a number of key aspects of practice, including: healing, long life, protection, meditation, the nature of mind and the view of Dzogpachenpo. For Guru Rinpoche is indeed just like a wish-fulfilling gem—whatever anyone may need, he grants it exactly as they desire.

    Of all the buddhas, you are their very face and their embodiment, Precious Guru of Oddiyana,

    I pray to you:

    Outer, inner and secret obstacles—dispel them into space,

    And through your blessings, let all my aims and wishes be spontaneously fulfilled.[1]

    All the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the past, present and future are embodied in Padmasambhava, as well as all the enlightened masters and root and lineage lamas. So, to invoke him with all your heart is to connect, immediately and directly, with their wisdom, their compassion and their power. This is how Guru Rinpoche truly becomes an ‘all-embodied jewel’, and this is why he said:

    See me and you see all the buddhas,

    Accomplish me and you accomplish all the buddhas,

    For I am the embodiment of all the sugatas.

    If you were to ask Who is Guru Padmasambhava, really?, the answer
