Those with faith will go for refuge;
Those who have compassion will have bodhichitta;
Those with wisdom will gain realization;
Those who have devotion harvest blessings.
Counsels from My Heart
Pg 28

Translated by Padmakara Translation Group
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.

I, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, wrote this in response
to a request by the faithful lady Dechen Tso.
May this prove virtuous!
“At all times, do not lose courage in your inner awareness; uplift yourself, while assuming a humble position in your outer demeanor. Follow the example of the life and complete liberation of previous accomplished masters (siddha). Do not blame your past karma; instead, be someone who purely and flawlessly practices the dharma. Do not blame temporary negative circumstances; instead, be someone who remains steadfast in the face of whatever circumstances may arise.”
