The Aspiration Prayer of Longchenpa
Written by Omniscient Longchenpa

Colophon ~
Of course, those who are nihilists have no belief in karma, virtue, or the Triple Gems; that is why they are nihilists. They think only about this momentary life and that it is not necessary to consider previous births or future reincarnations since they do not believe in them. According to Buddhist theory, however, until one attains the state of enlightenment, one must believe mind is continuous even though one does not see the mind’s continuity. Since the mind is continuous, phenomena will be continuous, so the phenomena of suffering and happiness are continuous. Sometimes there are phenomena of suffering and sometimes there are phenomena of happiness, but either way, these phenomena must change. In order not to circle like this between suffering and happiness unceasingly, it is necessary to be liberated to reach unchangeable, flawless ecstasy; and in order to be liberated one needs virtue or merit until the habits of dualistic mind are exhausted. So, one needs to believe in abstaining from negative karma and increasing positive karma and the accumulation of merit and wisdom. In order to make accumulation, first one needs to obtain a precious human birth with the seven qualities of the high realms of gods and humans.

Lama, think of me!

My kind, precious root Lama, essence of all Buddhas in one, to you I pray.

Bless my mind stream, I beseech you!

Grant your blessings that the essence of leisures and opportunities remain.

Grant your blessings that I remember death and impermanence.

Grant your blessings that trust in karma arises.

Grant your blessings that my attachment to samsara collapses.

Grant your blessings that I see my Lama as Buddha.

Grant your blessings that my mind blends with the Dharma.

Grant your blessings that I become free from attachment to this life.

Grant your blessings that I have no unfinished business in my mind at death.

Grant your blessings that I have no extreme pain at death.

Grant your blessings that I be adept in the profound path of transference.

Grant your blessings that I be liberated in the intermediate state’s clear light.

Grant your blessings that I recognize the nature of phenomena (chos nyid).

Grant your blessings that delusion be liberated within itself.

Grant your blessings that I receive supreme assurance of rebirth in the pure lands.

Grant your blessings that I awaken to my true nature, awareness itself.

Grant your blessings that I accomplish the immortal vase body.

Grant your blessings for the spontaneous completion of the two goals!

I, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, wrote this in response
to a request by the faithful lady Dechen Tso.
May this prove virtuous!

Heart Advice

How amazing!

Listen my excellent, holy companion! You have now obtained a free and fully endowed human body, so difficult to find. You have now met a qualified Lama, so difficult to meet. And you have encountered tantric teachings, so hard to come in contact with.

At this time, it is important to take the first steps on the path to liberation in this life.

First, supplications imbued with irreversible faith and respect toward your Lama.

Second, pure vision and affection toward your tantric brothers and sisters.

Third, compassion and the mind of awakening toward all sentient beings.

Fourth, inspiring your mind to diligence in spiritual practice with reflection on impermanence.

These are a practitioner’s lasting wealth. Treasure them in your heart. To realize that all phenomena of samsara and enlightenment appear in as great emptiness is the view. To sustain a state of non-meditation and non-distraction without uncontrivance or intervention in present awareness is meditation. For none of your actions whatsoever to be careless and to maintain harmony with the Dharma is conduct. To have one-pointed diligence in the practice of view, meditation, and conduct as described, will lead you to the manifest accomplishment of the result during your lifetime.

I, Yeshe Dorje, who is neither a layperson nor a monk, wrote neither quickly nor slowly this so-called heart advice, which are neither true or false, and neither before nor after noon, but during the noon session break.
