Lama Thinley Gyamtso from the family of the great Dharma
king requested this practice, and as a gesture of not rejecting it, the
one who is called bodhisattva Jamgon Tulku, Peldan Khyentse Ozer, Ngakwang
Chokyi Nyima, wrote this in a room above the main temple of Dowolung
Tsurphu. May it serve a good purpose. The practice was transformed by the
3rd Jamgon Kongtrul, Karma Lodro Chokyi Senge, into one where his name in
Sanskrit is included in the mantra, and so it is filled with blessing.
