“Ambrosia for the MInd”

Part Three, Good in the End
1. Dedication
Through the merit of this heartfelt aspiration
To practise the seven points of mind training,
The heart-essence of the incomparable Jowo Atiśa and his heirs,
May all beings attain the level of perfect awakening.

2. The colophon
This one-pointed prayer was made before the precious statue of the glorious Atiśa at Kyishö Nyethang by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, a carefree yogin who wanders throughout the land and is extremely devoted to the precious Kadampa tradition. May it be accomplished!

The section headings were added by Mangala (Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche).

Comment: There’s a lot here. This is a prayer based on The Seven Point Mind Training brought to Tibet by the great Indian master, Atisha (The Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse, Volume One. SHAMBHALA*Boulder*2010, pg 105). I highly recommend reading The Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse, and similar texts to better understand these teachings. If you can, find a teacher with an authentic lineage. Dedicated to your happiness – Mark
