The following prayer is from the Nam Chö Ngondro by Tertön Migyur Dorje:
Alas
Glorious condensed essence of the miraculous activity of the Buddhas of all directions and times,
Great Lotus Guru (Padmasambhava) of loving kindness,
Myself and those like me who are without a protector and tormented by suffering,
Look upon us with your loving compassion and grant us your blessings!
In this time of extreme degeneration of this aeon, when demonic forces, corruption, incurable disease and perverted prayers are increasing,
During this terrifying time of armies and weapons in the four directions, grant us the breath to breathe fearlessly, like a vajra.
Impure sentient being’s hearts are confused and their intellects distorted. So as not to follow our ingrained habitual instincts, tame us in whatever skill means are necessary by actually arising in the Rupakaya.
Lead us upon the path to the realm of Great Bliss.
Concerning myself and all others on the path to Awakening, by pacifying our obstacles and non-conducive circumstances and greatly increasing our life span and endowments,
May our vital airs and mind be controlled to realize the common and supreme spiritual attainments.
May we never be separate from our root Lama!
…repeat this prayer with intense fervent devotion (until one’s tears uncontrollably well up from within) after which repeat the essence prayer, the Vajra Guru mantra OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG.
