Fortunate noble ones of future generations, if you seek refuge in me, Orgyen, remain in a secluded place and give rise to the sorrow of impermanence and the weariness of cyclic existence. This is very important. Entrust yourself entirely to me with body, speech, and mind. Moreover, reflect that all the sources of hope and refuge are perfectly complete within me. Be aware that I am fully aware of all your joys, sorrows, and hopes. Give up accumulating wealth instead of making offerings and praises. With devoted body, speech, and mind, pray with this seven line supplication: ཧ ཨབའར ནའཡང འ འ བའ བ ངའམསཚམས HUNG OR GYEN YUL GYI NUB JANG TSHAM Hung!

Engender a strong heartfelt longing, bringing tears to your eyes. If you become tense through strong faith, push the air out from your lungs with a hocking sound and settle with clarity, gazing lucidly and openly without distraction. Is there any need to say that I will protect a child who prays like this? You will become an heir of the victorious ones of the three times. The most powerful is to abide in the awareness of your wisdom mind. It has the ability to stabilize your samadhi and expand your wisdom. By great selfarisen blessings, you will be liberated from the passions and be able to perform wisdom activities to eliminate others suffering. When you are transformed your perceptions of others will change, at the same time you will accomplish enlightened activities. All the sublime qualities will be perfected within you. Which is the most skillful method upadesha of self realizing ones own nature of wisdom and liberation from samsara. This is The Lord of All, which is stainless Dharmakaya. May my heartdisciples encounter this supreme liberating upadesha. In particular, because this seven line supplication that accomplishes my blessings is most profound, and is the foremost secret upadesha treasure, may it meet with the most compassionate great wisdom holder Chökyi Wangchuk.

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 36

41 Concluding Prayers 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.
