This concise daily prayer book is designed for those who are
interested in the practices of various sadhanas and mantras but
have limited time for the practice of more extensive versions. All
the prayers and mantras in this book originate from authentic
sadhanas composed by enlightened masters and sutras from the
Buddha. These very mantras and prayer verses have been practiced
and blessed by countless accomplished practitioners, Buddhas and
Bodhisattvas.
To prepare for practice and if convenient, set up an altar and
present water, flower, incense and any other suitable offering on a
shrine having representations of the Buddha such as a statue or
picture. If these are not available, you may visualize Buddha in the
space in front of you and make mental offerings.
The prayer text begins with general preliminary prayers,
continues on to the main recitation and meditation practices on
Buddhas and meditational deities. It finally concludes with
dedication and aspiration prayers. One can practice and recite the
entire text from beginning to end or some particular mantras and
prayers only. If one wants to practice part of the text, you still
should first recite the beginning practice, which contains the Four
Thoughts, Refuge and Bodhicitta and then perform whichever
practice one wishes to. Conclude the session with the Dedication
and Aspiration prayers. There are three aspiration prayers. If you
cannot do all of them then just say one of the aspiration prayers.
This compilation of Dharma prayers was compiled by Lama
Phurbu Tashi. Some prayers were also translated by him. It is being
made available for free distribution. Please respectfully treat this
text as a holy object.

Second, everything is impermanent, environments and
their inhabitants. The life force of beings in particular, is
fragile as a bubble. The hour of death is uncertain, and
when it arrives we become nothing but corpses. Because
the dharma is the only help at that time, practice with
diligence.

“Recite this prayer when you wake up, and you will accomplish all your
aims for the day. Recite it when you go to sleep, and you will have good
dreams. Recite it before a conflict, and you will be completely victorious.
Recite it when you embark on any project, and you will be successful. If
you recite this prayer every day, the length of your life, your splendour,
renown, and wealth will all increase, you will find perfect happiness, you
will accomplish your aims exactly as you wish, all harmful actions and
obscurations will be purified and all your wishes for higher realms,
liberation and omniscience will be fulfilled.” These are the words of the
Buddha himself.
This prayer arose from the lake of Jampal Gyepé Dorje’s mind on the
third day of the third month of the Fire Monkey year (1896), an
auspicious time according to the configuration of planets, sun and
constellations.
Mangalam!

Samayagya. This terma, on Vairotsana’s robe with Yeshe Tsogyal’s
handwriting, was found in the holy place at the right corner of Sengchen
Namdrag cliff. The terma, under that jewel- heap-like rock, was publicly
discovered and brought to light by Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, a great
treasure revealer and manifestation of prince Mirub. Immediately then,
Padma Garwang Lodro Thaye transcribed it without mistake. May it
increase virtuous activity and happiness.
