Abstract: The MahÄ guru Prayer was a prayer by Yeshe Tsogyal to Guru Padmasambhava when he was about to leave Tibet. Later she concealed it as a treasure teaching which Saint Pema Lingpa from Bhutan revealed for the benefit of sentient beings. It explains the suffering of samsara, blessings of prayers, the practice of offerings, Buddhist view, meditation, virtuous activities, Bodhicitta, reincarnation, the three kayas of Dzogchen, and dedication. Although this is a prayer liturgy, it lucidly expounds the essence of Buddhism: the true nature of mind. In particular, this prayer provides precious guidance and clear insights to Buddhist practitioners that the Mahaguru is not only represented by an outer guru but, more importantly, the primordially pure inner guru of our mind— Buddhanature.
