Prayers and Requests to the Buddhist Masters

The Profound Guru Yoga called Lama Chopa

by Panchen Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen with additional Prayers from the Jorcho.

Visualize the Buddha Mandala as follows:

• Me transformed as the Buddha.
• Vahradhara in front of me.
• Maitreya on my left representing Compassion or Method or Bodhichitta
• Manjushri on my right representing Wisdom (Wisdom realizing emptiness)
• The Guru behind me, “backing me up” in all I do (body), see vision, say (speech) and hear, think (mind).

In the space before me, on a jeweled throne upheld by eight lions and multicolored lotus, sun, and moon cushions, sits my kind guru in the form of Buddha Shakyamuni.

His body of golden light is crowned with an ushnisha, with right hand in the gesture of controlling the Earth, and left hand in meditation pose holding a bowl full of nectar. He wears saffron robes, is adorned with a Buddha's marks and sits in the vajra position amidst an aura of light.

Surrounding him are my actual gurus and lineage gurus, Deities], [[Buddhas, Bodhisattvas], [[Dakas, Dakinies and guardians of the Dharma, and in front of them beautiful tablees support their writings.

By recalling their noble qualities and their kindness my mind is filled with faith, that causes them delight.
