    Description:  This book of prayers to Guru Rinpoche, along with his life story, has been compiled to celebrate the Wood Monkey Year of the Tibetan calendar (2004-5). The monkey year is especially sacred to Guru Padmasambhava. It was in the monkey year that he was bom in a lotus on the lake of Dhanakosha in the land of Oddiyana, and also that he left Tibet for Zangdokpalri, the Copper-Coloured Mountain of Glory. To recognize this year that is so special to Guru Rinpoche, the Rigpa Sangha worldwide will accumulate one hundred million Vajra Guru mantras, and one hundred thousand recitations of the Seven Line Prayer, as well as making a hundred thousand tsok offerings on the tenth day of every month.

    The prayers contained in this book include those that arc recited by some of the greatest masters, for example, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, in their daily practice. They carry the blessing of being the vajra words of either Guru Rinpoche himself, or the great masters who have been emanations of him or his closest disciples, and who serve as his representatives in this world.
