To the realm of Potala.

In the palace of great bliss on the crown of my head

Is the gracious root guru,
The embodied essence of the oral transmission,

Tsedir chisam chökyi — Jawa tarchin dzöla

Chima bardöi jikpa — Drenpa tsamgyi kyobshig

In this life please help us obtain whatever we wish for

And accomplish all spiritual activities.
Later, in the fearsome bardo,
Protect us the moment we think of you.

Rangsem chagya chenpo — Rangshar rangdröl ngowo

Danta keychig madi — Nyurdu tokpar jinlob

Bless us to quickly realize,

This very moment,
Our mind to be Mahamudra,
The essence of self-arising, self-liberation

Danta dükyi nyikma — Kyidug leknye chijung

Resa khyeley mepey — Tukjei chengyi zikshig
Now, in this time of degeneration,
Whatever happens, in joy and in sorrow, for good and for worse,
We rely on nobody else but you;
So please gaze upon us with your compassionate eyes.

Having received the vidyadhara Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa’s

precious terma substance, the same moment it touched my
tongue, I saw the Master of Uddiyana with consort in actuality,
who assured me that “Whoever supplicates in this way will be
reborn in the pure realms. Of this there is no doubt!” I, Rigdzin
Chogyal Dorje, wrote this down from the yellow parchment
found at the Lion Fortress, right after having the vision there. It
was offered to the incarnations of the Lords of the Three
Families,i and if their followers with the karmic link practice
this, it will spread to connect everyone with the Great
Compassionate One. Everyone who holds no doubt will be
reborn in the buddhafield of their choice. Samaya, seal, seal,
seal.
