“As Guru Rinpoche was leaving Tibet for the cannibal island of Ngayab Ling, Yeshe Tsogyal recited this prayer to him. Her last direct prayer is profound and full of the blessings of her longing. Although ultimately Guru Rinpoche and Yeshe Tsogyal have no separation, these were her last words uttered with very intense and powerful intention and aspiration on a relative historical level. The prayer was revealed as a terma (dharma treasure) by the tertön (treasure revealer) Pema Lingpa in fifth-century Tibet. All Nyingma practitioners and followers of Guru Rinpoche and Yeshe Tsogyal recite this prayer. Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche recited this prayer at the end of each sadhana session. We are trying to accomplish enlightenment in this lifetime, and prayer is an essential part of our path. If we don’t completely reach the result based on our own ability, making prayers of aspiration forms a connection to continue our goal after this lifetime, in the bardo, and throughout future lifetimes - it has that great power. Prayer connects us with the blessings of the deity. Through the accumulation of merit and wisdom by making prayers of aspiration, sooner or later our goals reach fruition.” - Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
