Essential Prayers
Related to the Guru Yoga Practice
According to the Seven Line Prayer
This prayer book was produced at Ngayab Pema Od Ling, Yangleshod, Ne-
pal and distributed on the occasion of a drupchen held at Kurjey Lhakhang,
Bumthang, Bhutan 3 - 8 August 2011. This drupchen was held to fulfll the
wishes of the late Kyabje Penor Rinpoche to beneft all sentient beings. The
purpose is to pacify hunger, drought, famine, disease, warfare and the four ele-
ments in the world and to bring joy and happiness everywhere, especially to
Bhutan and its people. In short, the goal is to release all sentient beings from
the suffering of samsara and bring them to the peace and happiness of nirvana.
During this time, there were one thousand people each day, including khenpos,
tulkus, monks, nuns and lay people, reciting 100 million Guru Mantras. At the
completion of the Dungdrup 100,000 tsogs and 100,000 butter lamp offerings
were made.
We wish to acknowledge the sources for these translations as follows: Palri

Khenpo Namdrol Rinpoche has requested that this prayer book should be
freely reproduced and distributed for the beneft of all beings.

continually, you will enjoy long life, glory, renown, prosperity, auspiciousness,
abundant happiness and positivity, and the fulfllment of all wishes; all your
misdeeds and obscurations will be purifed, and you will achieve the higher
realms and liberation. This was declared by the sublime Victorious One
himself.
This arose from the lake of the mind of Jampal Gyep Dorj on the third day
of the third month of the Fire Monkey year (1896), an auspicious time ac-
cording to the confguration of planets, sun and constellations.

Although Rigdrol, the noble son who accompanied me during all my days, requested
me an old man whose time is coming to end to write this supplication to be
Cared for Throughout All Lifetimes as his share of teachings to be practiced for his
entire life, and while interesting discourses would never need end had my physical
body, which is majestic and tall and flled with hundreds of thousands of white drops,
been adorned with wonderful ornaments, my food, while suffcient, lacked nutrition,
and harmed my stomach; lacking clothing, cold breezes beat strongly at my fngers;
and lacking friends, wandering in distant places saddened me. I therefore thought it
better not to say too many meaningless things.
