Refuge and generating the altruistic intention
I go for Refuge until I am Enlightened to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha
From the virtuous merit I collect by listening to the teachings
May I attain the state of Buddhahood
To be able to benefit all sentient beings.
Your minds have the intellect that comprehends the full extend of what can be known.
Your speech, with its excellent explanations is the ear-ornament for those of good
fortune,
Your bodies are radiantly handsome with glory renowned
I prostrate to you, whom to behold, hear or recall is worthwhile,

Free me from the fears of samsara and nirvana,
grant me all attainments,
Be my constant companion, and protect me from all obstacles. (3x)

And the seeds of the four Buddha bodies.
A duplicate of my Lama happily dissolves into me,
And I am blessed with inspiration.

Appendix III: Notes to text
1.
Guru Yoga is the essence of all paths, the answer to making the best
use of life. Start by generating bodhimind, taking
refuge, meditating on the four immeasurables, followed by generating
yourself in the form of either Yamantaka,
Guhyasamaja or Heruka. From the body of theYidam, light
radiates and purifies all environments and their inhabitants.
The environment becomes the mandala; its inhabitants,
gods and goddesses. So accordingly, this verse follows.
55
8. In the root tantras, it is explained that you should always
perceive the qualities of the Lama and disregard the faults.
Reflect on the advantages of correctly relying on your
spiritual teacher and the disadvantages of not doing so. By
thinking with single-pointed concentration that the teacher
is the sole, undeceiving refuge, the embodiment of the
Three rare and supreme jewels, take refuge and make
intense requests while reciting the ‘Mig tse ma’ chant as
many times as possible.
56
