The Concise Recitation of the Preliminary Practices Related to the New Treasures of Düd’jom

In the arrangement of this practice of The Concise Recitation of the Preliminary Practices Related to the New Treasures of Düd’jom, the first section is the preliminaries — the recitation of the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind (from Samsara)


NAMO LÜ ME TEN GYI GÖN PO LA MA KY’EN
Unfailing and constant protector, Lama, you who know,

DÄL ’JOR ’DI NI SHIN TU NYE PAR KA’
This body of freedoms and favourable conditions is extremely hard to find,

KYE TS’E MI TAG ’CHI WA’I CHÖ CHEN YIN
All that is born is impermanent and bound, by its very nature, to die,

GE DIG LE KYI GYU ’DRE LU WA ME
The causality of virtuous and unvirtuous karma is infallible,

K’AM SUM ’KOR WA DUG NGÄL GYA TSO’I NGANG
And the three realms of cyclic existence are intrinsically an ocean of suffering:

DREN NE DAG LO CHÖ LA ’GYUR WAR SHOG
Remembering this, may my mind turn towards the Dharma.


Thus, reciting this as much as possible, train the mind.



Second comes the actual preliminary practice, of which the first section is going for Refuge. Firmly believing that your Root Lama, the quintessence and embodiment of three supreme objects of Refuge, is actually seated in the space before you in the form of Guru Rinpoche…
