In these times, the number of Buddhist in the world is greatly increasing. They have little opportunity for study and seeing how they are so busy one easy key practice that contains within it the essence of all practices is necessary. Moreover one observing that Dharma practitioners are not able to maintain a regular daily practice of the preliminaries, because of deciencies through being busy or lazy, I thought it would be good to compose this simple form of the Longchen Nyingtik preliminaries.! In this Dharma lineage there is blessing through this visualization practice on whomever you consider to be your root lama. I have composed such a practice with a pure motivation in particular for the Westerners and Chinese who have the karma and previous prayers that have enabled them to enter into the Longchen Nyingtik. I confess from my heart whatever errors and faults there may be. Through the merit of this and all that is connected with it, may in particular all beings go to the state free of misery in the expanse of great bliss and self-knowing awareness.! ! Composed by Hungkar Dorje who the title of being the rebirth of Do Khyentse.!
