The is extracted from the External Practice in the Manner of Supplication included in the Sheldam Nyingjang of Lamey Thukdrup Barchey Kunsel that was discovered by the undisputed and timely incarnated great treasure revealer, Orgyen Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, from beneath the foot of the Great Glorious One at Danyin Khala Rongo. May (repeating) this be a cause for utterly pacifying all hindrances and decline, for the buddhadharma as well as for beings, and a cause for completely fulfilling all wishes of self and others. Sarva mangalam!

This supplication is the blessed words spoken by Padmasambhava before departing from Tibet. It was revealed by Terchen Chokgyur Lingpa as part of the Guru Sadhana called Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel.
