About this ebook
A Chenrezig guru yoga composed by His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso when he was nineteen years old. Translated by Joona Repo.
From the original colophon:
“Due to the power of his faith, the supremely virtuous Assistant Kalon Shenkawa Gyurme Sonam Tobgyal presented offerings and made entreaties, saying that he needed a brief yet complete glance meditation of the entire path of the guru yoga of the inseparability of myself and Avalokiteshvara, with the recitation of the name mantra and six syllables as well as complete instructions on what should be done, in a way that was easy to practice. Although it is unreasonable for me to write a guru yoga text such as this, focusing on myself, if one has faith, then just like the dog’s tooth turned into a ringsel-relic, if disciples truly have faith and respect, they will receive the blessing of the buddha even from an ordinary being. Thinking that it may be of benefit to some devotees I, the one with the name of “Holder of the White Lotus,” Shakyai Gejong Jampal Ngawang Lozang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, composed this.”

The Yoga of the Inseparability of the Guru and Avalokiteshvara eBook - FPMT
The Source of All Attainments: The Yoga of the Inseparability of the Guru and Avalokiteśvara
Having respectfully paid homage to Guru Avalokiteśvara—
The essence of the compassion of all the victorious ones,
A perfect full moon¹ possessing the white nectar light of blessings—
