Fulfilling All Wishes: A Prayer to Guru Rinpoche
Our November text of the month is Fulfilling All Wishes: A Prayer to the Embodiment of All Refuges, Guru Rinpoche—a guru yoga liturgy composed by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.
This concise practice brings together all the essential elements of guru yoga—visualization, the seven branches, supplication, Padmasambhava’s twelve-syllable mantra, and a brief visualization of receiving the initiations—within a single, complete text. Khyentse Wangpo created it as a shorter form of Le’u Dünma, the famous Seven-Chapter Prayer to Guru Rinpoche, making it easy to integrate with other practices or recite on its own daily.
