My most dear one,

This is how to pray in front of the Chenrezig temple, in front of Chenrezig, and how to pray in front of the real Buddha Chenrezig, His Holiness the Dalai Lama:

May His Holiness the Dalai Lama have a long and stable life until we become free from samsara. May all his holy wishes succeed immediately.

May FPMT enlighten sentient beings quickly.

May all the service to the guru and the teachings of Buddha and sentient beings be most beneficial and succeed quickly.

May I complete Dharma practice in this life for sentient beings. May I be able to enlighten all sentient beings quickly. May every second of my life be most beneficial for sentient beings.

May I be able to only please most the guru’s holy mind, in all my lifetimes.

May the two Maitreya Projects in Bodhgaya and Kushinagar be able to succeed quickly and enlighten sentient beings quickly, by fulfilling the wishes of all sentient beings. May they enable sentient beings to generate loving kindness, compassion, bodhicitta and may they bring perfect peace and happiness in this world.

May we be able to build many holy objects in the world, which give the same effect as above, including the rebuilding of 108 stupas in Ladakh, that were built by the great holy being Lotsawa Rinchen Zangpo so many years ago, and may they have the same effect.

May we also build the Padmasambhava statues, including the big one in Maratika.

May we be able to build many destitute homes and animal sanctuaries in the world, and may they be able to enlighten all beings quickly.

Any sentient being seeing me, touching me, remembering me, hearing me, hearing my name, talking about me, seeing a photo of me or dreaming of me, just by that, may all their physical and mental problems immediately be healed in that second. May they have perfect peace and happiness. May all their wishes succeed according to the holy Dharma. May their actions become the cause of enlightenment and may they achieve full enlightenment quickly.

Any sentient being that I see, remember, touch, see a photo of or dream about, may all their physical and mental problems immediately be healed in that second, and may they have perfect peace and happiness. May all their wishes succeed according to the holy Dharma. May their actions become the cause of enlightenment and all other future lives. May they achieve full enlightenment quickly. May this happen in this life and until enlightenment is achieved.

This is the prayer for you to make there at the temple. If possible, say this prayer each week when you are here. Your prayers have power for success, because of good samaya. The guru is very happy with you. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, yes, me too, the slothful one.

Numberless thanks for all these prayers which I have asked you to do.

With much love and prayers ...
