Guru Rinpoche, buddha of the three times,
Lord of all realizations, great blissful one,
Eliminator of all obstacles, powerful wrathful subduer of the maras,
I request you: please grant your blessings.
Please bless me to pacify my outer, inner, and secret obstacles,
And to spontaneously accomplish my wishes.
Mantra of Padmasambhava
OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM
Following on from the prayers above, Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises us to recite the verse Requests to Oddiyana and the Goddesses of the Four Elements from Sampa Lhundrubma to remove obstacles:
Requests to ODDiyAna and the Goddesses of the Four Elements
SA CHHU ME LUNG JUNG WÄI BAR CHHÄ KYI
GYU LÜ NYEN CHING JIG PÄI DÜ JUNG TSHE
YI NYI THE TSHOM ME PAR SÖL WA DEB
OGYÄN JUNG WA ZHI YI LHA MOR CHÄ
JUNG WA RANG SAR ZHI WAR THE TSHOM ME
OGYÄN PÄ MA JUNG NÄ LA SÖL WA DEB
SAM PA LHÜN GYI DRUB PAR JIN GYI LOB
When obstacles of the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind
Afflict and destroy this illusory body,
I make request to you without hesitation or doubt.
Oddiyana and the goddesses of the four elements,
I have no doubt that you will pacify the elements in their own place.
To the Lotus-Born of Oddiyana, I make request:
Grant your blessings that my wishes be spontaneously accomplished.
