The precious master Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo said, These are extremely turbulent times and there is no telling what
will happen. I am praying for peace and stability in Tibet six times each day, and it is important for you to do the same.
So it was that I, Lodr Thaye, wrote this down as a personal reminder, in Tsadra Rinchen Drak on a propitious morning
during the waxing phase of the twelfth month.
Yatha siddhirastu!
