NAMO GURU On the tenth day of the monkey month of Rawa in the year of the Monkey, on the second floor of Samye, in the

shrineroom called Yushel, when performing the Vajradhtu maala, Padmkara composed this aspiration, which was thereafter
performed regularly by the king and disciples.

Later generations should practice this one-pointedly.

The great treasure discoverer Choggyur Dechen Lingpa, an emanation of Prince Murup, discovered this text publicly, written with
Shurma script in Tibetan by the hand of Yeshe Tsogyal using Vairochanas silken outer monks robe as paper, at the supreme place
Kongmo Ogma on Precious Rocky Mountain, which is on the right side of Great Lion Sky Boulder. Immediately thereupon, Pema
Karwang Lodr Thaye copied this properly. May virtue increase!
