1 as in a water mill, the wheel never stops turning.

2 Three kindnesses: various explanations - the Nitartha dictionary gives two main lists. Either, in sūtra, the lama gives
precepts (sdom pa), authorization (lung), teachings (khrid), and in tantra, the lama confers empowerment (dbang bskur),
explains the tantras (rgyud bshad), gives pith instructions (man ngag gnang ba) [IW, ry], or, the three consist of teaching
logic (rig pa bslab pa), demonstrating the sūtras and tantras (mdo rgyud bstan pa), giving empowerment and consecration
(dbang bskur byin rlabs byed pa) [JV, ry].
3 The Nitartha dictionary [JV] notes that these three experiences occur at the time of death, as whiteness, redness and
blackness; this entry also lists them as soft light, intense spread of light, inner glow.
4 in other words, one is being channelled correctly, and not dissipated in non-Dharma behaviour.
5 ie a "precious" human birth, with the abilities and opportunities to practise Dharma.
6 the generation and completion stages
7 ri bo ta la: bo ta la is a Tibetanised transcription of po ta la: the Potala Mountain, indicating the Buddha field of
Avalokiteśvara, who is referred to in this line, so that we have the Dharmakāya Amitābha, the Sambhogakāya
Avalokiteśvara, and the Nirmāṇakāya, Guru Rinpoche.
8 Lotus Skull-Garlanded: name of Guru Rinpoche, whose buddha field of the Copper-coloured mountain is in Ngayap-

Although I have followed the standard practice of translating padma rāga as ‘ruby’, it should be noted that the
Sanskrit term connotes a precious stone similar though not identical to the ruby: it is of red colour and is
figuratively likened to the dew on a lotus.

The term ging is a Tibetan phonetic rendering of the Sanskrit kiṅgkāra, which means 'messenger' (Tib. pho-nya). These messengers are
emissaries of Padmasambhava and are depicted as beating a small drum.

The Tibetan term is phyogs-kyi 'khor-lo, which is a translation of the Sanskrit dikcakra. The term literally means the 'wheel of directions',
and refers to the sky, or horizon, since the directions can only be known in relation to the latter.

As a facilitating condition for the daughter of noble family, Dekyong Yeshe Wangmo,6 to journey to
Pema-ö,7 her old father Jikdral Yeshe Dorje8 made this aspiration from his heart, with a mind full of
grief and longing. May there be virtue!

The two purposes (don gnyis) are those relating to oneself (rang-don; Skt. svārtha) and others (gzhan-don; Skt. parārtha). They are
accomplished by means of the two accumulations, which are those of wisdom (ye-shes-kyi tshogs; Skt. jñānasambhāra) and of merit (bsod-
nams-kyi tshogs; Skt. puṇyasambhāra). These result in the body of phenomena's beingness (chos-kyi sku; Skt. dharmakāya) and the body of
form (gzugs-kyi sku; Skt. rūpakāya).

His student Palchen Dorje having besought him, Ngakchang Lopon P. Ogyan Tanzin wrote this down
immediately. May there be virtue!

The three doctrinal wheels are as follows: the wheel of reading which consists in hearing and thinking (klog-pa
thos-bsam-gyi ’khor-lo); the wheel of relinquishing which consists in contemplation (spong-ba bsam-gtan-gyi
’khor-lo); and the wheel of action which consists in activity (bya-ba las-kyi ’khor-lo). See Nor-brang o-rgyan
(ed.), Chos-rnam kun-btus, vol.1, Beijing: Krung-go’i bod-rig-pa dpe-skrun-khang, 2008, p.203.

May all this be thus accomplished; through the truth of the three jewels, through the blessings of
all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, through the great might of having thoroughly completed the two
accumulations, and through the utter purity and inconceivable strength of phenomena’s open
dimension (Skt. dharmadhātu), may all this be just so accomplished!

aspiration. May it spread and be accomplished!2

Verse of Auspicious Wishes1

Note that a version of this verse is included in a set given in the Dudjom Chos spyod (Delhi
edition, Chos spyod Publication 2000: 390-391), but that verse's final line is different, since it
is identified as the fifth of the series of wishes. Here also the first line is made into ten
syllables, with the addition of "tshe" as the first syllable. Lopon Ogyan Tanzin Rinpoche has
supplied this version.
