Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is urgently requesting the International PBC Sangha to accumulate the Dusum Sangye Prayer of Guru Rinpoche and the mantra of Buddha Amitayus to remove everyone's obstacles, actualize more peace and harmony in the world, fulfill our highest bodhichitta aspirations, and swiftly bring all beings to enlightenment.

All the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism have said that Guru Padmasambhava is the Buddha of the Degenerate Age. During this present time, he is the sole protector and refuge for all sentient beings. When we connect to Guru Rinpoche, we’re connecting to all enlightened beings throughout space and time.

The Dusum Sangye Prayer unites devotion, bodhichitta, and Dzogchen meditation in the form of a Guru Yoga practice on Guru Padmasambhava. Absolute Guru Padmasambhava is the innate nature of all sentient beings.

Buddha Amitayus is a buddha of longevity and vitality. Amitayus embodies the wisdom and compassion of all the buddhas and is inseparable from Buddha Amitabha and Guru Padmasambhava.
