After Drubpon Dilyak Rinpoche repeatedly asked, ''Please write a Calling the Lama from Afar Prayer for the Great Sixteenth Supreme Conqueror," and accompanied the requests with gifts, I who bear the name Thrangu, while beginning to teach the Abhidharma at the holy site ofNamo Buddha, remembered the Vajra Speech the Protector gave out of consideration of the great purposes for both beings and the teachings, and thus wrote this supplication. After the Precious Lord of Refuge made slight revisions, it was published by Lama Sonam and Karma Dawa of the Hong Kong Thrangu Center. Translated into English at the request of Karma Dawa of the Hong Kong Thrangu Vajrayana Center by David Fuqua while traveling with the Precious Lord of Refuge in the spring of 2004. Translation revised in March 2006. Sarwa Mangalam.
