O great master! In every one of the teachings of the secret mantras you
have given, you have stated that keeping the samaya vows is of vital
importance. And among these vows, you have said that to pray to the
master is the most important of all. Since that is the case, both for
ourselves and for future generations, we request you, who are a buddha:
please teach us a prayer that we can say in the morning and the evening,
few in words and concise in meaning, a prayer that will inspire vivid faith
and delight, infuse us with a powerful blessing, and, when ordinary
people, not gifted with great intelligence, use its words as an urgent plea,
will invoke the wisdom mind of the deities of the Secret Mantrayna, and
cause the blessing of you, the guru, to enter into us.

Listen, you fortunate ones of Tibet! How rare it is for this Secret
Mantrayna even to appear at all! When the previous buddha, the Great
Guardian of Light, turned the wheel of Dharma, he did not teach this
secret mantra Vajrayna. Eight hundred and forty million buddhas have
not taught it, and nor will the buddhas of the future teach it. Why not?
Because those who live at that time are not suitable to receive it. Long
ago, during the very first kalpa, called The Kalpa of the Complete Array,
in the teaching of a buddha called Once-Come-King, the secret mantra
teachings were widely proclaimed. Now too, the secret mantras have
appeared in the teaching of the present buddha, the sage of the kyas,
kyamuni. Ten million kalpas from now, in a kalpa called 'Array of
Flowers', the buddha Majur will come, and just like me, he will reveal
the secret mantras on a vast scale. The reason that these teachings
appear in these three kalpas alone is because the beings alive then are
suitable recipients. At no other time apart from these three kalpas will the
secret mantra teachings appear.

Therefore, now that this teaching is present, you who have obtained a
free and well-favoured human body and who have embarked on the
practice of the secret mantras, must not fall under the influence of
laziness and apathy. Now you have to possess, in their entirety, the four
requirements for practising the secret mantras. If they are not complete,
the samaya will be impaired, and you will definitely wander in sasra,
and you will definitely fall into lower rebirths. Why is this? Because not
one of the buddhas of past, present and future teach that enlightenment
can be realized by indulging in destructive emotions just as they are,
unchanged.

The four requirements are these: First, you require the instruction for
cutting forcefully through the entanglements and attachment that make
you slip into ordinary ways of body, speech and mind.Second, when the
five poisons of the destructive emotions are extremely turbulent, you
require the instruction on knowing how these five poisons can be liberated
in themselves.Third, when you fall under the influence of busyness and
distraction, you require the instruction on recognizing expectation and
fear as the obstacles.Fourth, to keep the samaya vows pure, you
require the key instruction that is like an archer steadily drawing his bow.

Furthermore, the Secret Mantrayna is like the uumbara flower, which
hardly ever appears, and even when it does, it does not last long. This is
because beings are not suitable recipients for these teachings.

Now, you all, with the king at your head, listen well! Once you have
obtained a free and well-favoured human body during a time when the
Buddhas teaching flourishes, and once you have set out on the path of
the secret mantras, if you wish to attain enlightenment in this life, you
must keep the root and branch samayas pure. This is absolutely vital. If
not, you would be like a person who goes looking for a healing medicine,
and finds instead a deadly poison, lethal to the touch. To keep the
samaya, you need devotion, diligence and discriminating awareness, all
three. Without devotion, you are not a suitable candidate for the Secret
Mantrayna.
Without
exertion,
you
will
slide
back
into
ordinary
experience, a lazy, indolent person. Without discriminating awareness,

you will not know how to distinguish between the profound view and
action of the Secret Mantrayna.

O Great King, do not let yourself fall under the power of the fame and
distractions of this life, but pray continuously! The root of the secret
mantra path is to keep the samaya. The roots of the samaya are devotion
and diligence. And the root of these two is to pray to your master and
your yidam deity. Someone who is diligent and puts this into practice will
obtain the supreme siddhi of mahmudr in this very lifetime.
So he spoke.

Yet the essence of the wisdom body of all the deities of the secret

Wherever I may look, someone like me, Yesh Tsogyal, will never find a
buddha greater than you, Lotus-born, for you are the embodiment of all
the sugatas in one. Because of this, please grant me a prayer which is
brief in its words and concise in its meaning, profound in its truth and
great in blessings, so that by simply praying to you, O Guru, your
blessings will rush in like clouds filling the sky.

All the buddhas of the dharmakya have granted me their blessing, all
the buddhas of the sabhogakya have empowered me, and all the
nirmakya buddhas and bodhisattvas conferred and decided I should
come to this southern continent of Jambudvpa. Especially, I have come in
order to spread the teachings of the buddhas here in the benighted land
of Tibet, and to lead beings into the resultant Dharma of the secret
mantras. For this reason:

In the heart of a lotus, on an island in the lake of jewels, I came,
symbolizing the natural self-manifesting of the nirmakya. If anyone
who has faith, devotion and a connection with me, prays with yearning
and with real fervour, then the force of our special aspirations, and the
interdependence of cause and effect, will ensure that my compassion
comes to his or her help more quickly than that of any other buddha. So
pray, Tsogyal, continuously and with devotion.

be filled with inspiration. When you see its precious qualities, deep faith
will be born within you. When that faith becomes unshakeable trust and
devotion, then my blessing will enter and transform you. When your mind
is free of all doubts, whatever you wish can be achieved.

Listen, prince! Buddhas and bodhisattvas act ceaselessly to benefit
beings. Yet they cannot free them from the depths of sasra, because,
among beings in the six realms, ego-grasping caused by the five poisons
is just so strong. Prince, if you wish to protect your Tibetan people in the
future from suffering, make a declaration to your subjects, telling them to
develop stable and unswerving devotion, and to have total trust in the
Three Jewels.
