Sampa Nyur Drupma


The Prayer that Swiftly Fulfills All Wishes 
by the Omniscient Longchenpa and Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa

Emaho! In the heart of the blossoming lotus, 
Upon the waters of the lake, 
You are the deity who is the spontaneously presence of the five kayas and wisdom, 
O great, naturally arisen Pema Yabyum, 
Surrounded by clouds of dakinis—to you we pray: 
Grant your blessing so that all our wishes be quickly fulfilled!

As a result of our negative karma, 
Whenever we suffer from illness, 
Malevolent spirits and obstacles, 
Warfare and violence,
Famine and starvation, 
Then remember your promise 
That even simply to think of you will immediately 
Dissolve all such suffering— 
O Lord of Orgyen, we implore you, from the depths of our hearts, 
Grant your blessing so that all our wishes be quickly fulfilled!

To practice devotion, discipline and generosity, 
To free the mind through hearing the Dharma, and to posses dignity, self-control 
And discriminating awareness—make these seven noble human qualities 
Fill the hearts and minds of all sentient beings 
And so bring peace and happiness to the world. 
Grant your blessing, so that all our wishes be quickly fulfilled!

When oppressed by illness, suffering and unwanted circumstances, 
Falling prey to harm and obstruction from negativity 
And demonic forces—jungpo and gyalpo
Threatened by fire, water, and journeys of great danger,
When this life is spent and death arrives—at these times 
We have nowhere to turn to except to you! 
Care for us with your great compassion, 
O great Orgyen Guru— 
Grant your blessing, so that all our wishes be quickly fulfilled!

This Prayer should be kept in the hearts of all those with faith, who wish to benefit the land of Tibet pacify illness, prevent famine and border invasions, and contribute to the welfare of the teachings and beings.

The first stanza is taken from the verses of praise in the Infinite Cloud Banks of Profound Meaning (Zabdon Gyatso Yangtik), the ‘background teachings’ to the omniscient Longchenpa’s Khandro Yangtik, and the later verses are the blessed vajra words of the second omniscient one, Rigdzin Jikme Lingpa.
