Here is a Nyingma prayer:
"When our illusory bodies are threatened with danger and destruction because of obstacles of the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind;
"Without any doubt or question, I supplicate you, Orgyen, together with the four goddesses of the elements;
"Thus, there is no doubt that the elements will be self-pacified.
"I supplicate Orgyen Padmasambhava. Grant blessings for the spontaneous accomplishment of our wishes!
"OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM."
It would seem fires are threatening Tibetan centers and personalities in California today, north and south. Locally, we were evacuated at 3:30 a.m., and overnight, 50,000 acres were consumed around us. We are now staying in town, awaiting word regarding whether further evacuation will be necessary.
