Guru Rinpoche, Buddha of the three times,
Lord of all siddhis who is the one of great bliss,
Dispeller of all obstacles, wrathful tamer of Mara,
We supplicate you; please grant your blessings.
Grant your blessings that outer, inner and secret
obstacles be pacified
And that our intentions be spontaneously accomplished -
A Message from Tsoknyi Rinpoche ~
"Guru Rinpoche said that from time to time, disasters occur in the world due to the collective force of negativities within people's disturbed minds. According to Buddhism, the elements of earth, water, fire and air that constitute the phenomenal world are interdependently connected to the mind. Because of this, outer catastrophes are the results of disturbed states of mind. Therefore, he indicated that whenever such great disasters occur in the outer world, these events should act as a further motivation to strengthen our loving kindness and compassion.
In these times of great sorrow and confusion, I ask all my students and friends to further develop their love and compassion impartially. If you can help those directly affected by the situation, please do so. Otherwise, try to influence others caught up in hatred and resentment, to change their attitude to one of understanding and forgiveness.
In addition, it would be very beneficial to recite the "Dusum Sangye Guru Rinpoche" supplication, also known as Buddha of the Three Times. This prayer has the power to remove the outer obstacles created by the four elements, the inner obstacles of physical sickness due to energy imbalance in our body, and the secret obstacles of depression and neuroses stemming from our grasping mind.
Please remember that I always pray for your well-being and wish that we may meet in the near future. May there be peace in the world."

The Prayer for Swift Accomplishment of All Wishes
Eh Ma Ho
In the pollen bed on a stalk of a lake-born lotus,
Divine being of the spontaneous five wisdom bodies,
Self-arising great Pema together with your consort
and rows of Dakinis massing like clouds, we supplicate you.
Bless us with the swift accomplishment of all our wishes.
By our recalling your presence,
Please completely exhaust the fully matured results of negative acts—disease, disasters, obstructions, war, and poverty.
We beseech you from our hearts, Lord of Oddiyana.
Bless us with the swift accomplishment of all our wishes.
Well-practiced in faith, ethics, and generosity,
In liberating the mind stream through hearing,
In acknowledging shame, considering others,
and in wisdom--these seven riches of enlightened beings
and all accumulated necessities having entered the mind stream of all beings,
Please ensure all the world to be happy and joyful.
Bless us with the swift accomplishments of all our wishes.
In all life-threatening situations where we are harassed
By ghosts, evil-doers, and negative spirits,
By fear of fire, flood, vicious animals, and dangers on the road,
Whatever unwanted suffering and illness appears,
We have no refuge or hope other than you.
Please look upon us with compassion, Guru, Lord of Oddiyana.
Bless us with the swift accomplishment of all our wishes.
MAY ALL BEINGS BENEFIT!
The Prayer for Swift Accomplishment of All Wishes is a treasure composed by Guru Rinpoche and discovered by Jigme Linpa. It was transmitted instantly and without hesitation, for the benefit of all suffering beings, by the Venerable Lama Lodu Rinpoche of Kagyu Droden Kunchab in San Francisco, from his memory and out of great necessity, on the occasion of the shocking and frightful attack upon the United States by unknown terrorists, September 11, 2001. It was translated by Rinpoche's devoted disciple, Jinpa Tharchin, on the next day. -
Yeshe Tsogyal's teaching on the Golden Mantra:
It's from her Autobiography-terma translated into english by the Padmakara translation group as Lady of the Lotus Born (there are also translations by Keith Dowman and Ven. Tarthang Tulku).
"This is certain truth. This know and understand!
The essence of the teacher is this Guru Siddhi mantra:
HUNG: the life force of all the Buddhas, past, present, and to come;
DHI: accomplishment of all victorious yidams;
SID: the perfect action of the oath-bound and the dakinis;
MA: this cuts delusion from our mothers, wandering beings;
PAD: the supreme land of Buddhas of the triple time;
RU: this shuts the door to karmic energy;
GU: confers empowerment of compassion as the aspect of
primordial Wisdom;
JRA: this is Mahamudra, the void, the indestructible;
VA: the symbol of Wisdom-space;
HUNG: Nirmanakaya, emanated form to teach all beings
AH: the supreme Dharma, Sambhogakaya
OM: Kuntuangpo, Dharmakaya, Primal Purity.
These twelve essential syllables of the Guru, Lotus-Born,
If spoken in reverse one hundred thousand times,
Will purify the faults of body, speech and mind.
Two hundred thousand times comsumes the negativities
committed in the triple time;
Three hundred thousand times will place you on the level
whence there's no returning.
Recite it seven hundred thousand times and in this life
you meet the Lotus-Born;
A million recitations and the four enlightened actions will
be done.
Six million churns samsara's deep abyss;
Ten million brings equality with the Buddha Amitabha--
And any siddhi needed will be doubtless won.
Know, too, that other goods unnumbered will be yours.
The normal way of recitation repels suffering and leads beyond it.
OM: is the union in five bodies of all Buddhas gone to bliss;
AH: distills the essence of the fivefold wisdom Speech;
HUNG: is the Suchness Body, Wisdom Mind's five aspects.
VA: is the sign and seal of indestructibility;
JRA: is deployment of the diamond-like compassion;
GU: the guru herukas of the triple time;
RU: the drop of essence that matures and liberates;
PAD: the threshold of the pure abode of bliss;
MA: is staying in the womb of bliss unmoving;
SID: is compassion in great strength and power;
DHI: is the accomplishment that satisfies all wants;
HUNG: the gaining of dominion in the primal ground.
This mantra has indeed the likeness of a wishing jewel.
And further, since the twelve dependent links thereby are
purified,
It is the nature of the ten perfections,
And therefore the Great Mother.
Of every aspiration it is the fulfillment.
Thus, all of you now here, and those in times to come,
Should zealously recite this mantra."
How wonderful is that?!? Saying the mantra syllables in reverse order is very powerful, let's all give it a few hundred thousand times (or more)!
