Emaho – All Buddha compassion unified in one,
you are for me – one full of iniquities – my only refuge, oh Rinpoche!
Through your kindness please release me from Samsara, precious teacher,
with devotion I pray from the depth of my heart.
Hold me with constant compassion, please grant me your blessings.
Please grant your blessings so I may use these freedoms and equipment.
Please grant your blessings so I may remember impermanence and death.
Please grant your blessings so I may have insight into the misery of this mundane existence.
Please grant your blessings so I am able to perform wholesome and abandon wrongdoing.
Please grant your blessings so I may understand the Three Jewels of refuge (and protection).
Please grant your blessings so I may practice the enlightened attitude of altruism (and kindness).
Please grant your blessings so the two obscurations and habitual tendencies are eliminated.
Please grant your blessings so I may accomplish the twofold accumulation of merit.
Please grant your blessings so I may have the power to gain the realizations.
Please grant your blessings so I may have the ability to protect and respect the Samaya.
Please grant your blessings so I may accomplish the Dharma beyond deception firm and stable.
Please grant your blessings so I may transform hardship and adversity in favorable circumstances.
Please grant your blessings so I may dwell without distraction in firm diligence and striving.
Please grant your blessings so I may give up clinging to an ego in my mind.
Please grant your blessings so I may subdue the darkness of ignorance.
Please grant your blessings so I may realize the vision of primordial purity.
Please grant your blessings so I may realize the direct realization of reality itself.
Please grant your blessings so I may realize the increasing experience.
Please grant your blessings so I may realize the awareness reaching full maturity.
Please grant your blessings so I may reach the dissolution of experience into the nature of reality.
Please grant your blessings so I may be freed in the youthful vase body.
Please grant your blessings so I may finish the rainbow body in this very life.
Please grant your blessings so the cyclic existence is completely reversed.

This was written by Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje because of the learned and meritorious heart son Tshering Wangchen’s insistent request to complete this profound path. Good luck!
