Rinpoche translated the following short prayer to Padmasambhava for a student who had a strong connection with Padmasambhava and who was being harmed by black magic.

Short Prayer of Padmasambhava

Hung! At the border of the North-west Orgyen country
On the trunk of the lotus stem
The wonderful sublime attainment is found.
It is known as originator from the lotus surrounded by circles of so many skygoers.
For me to be able to follow you and to become you
Please descend here in order to bless me for that.

Precious guru, the three time buddhas,
The great bliss, the originator of all realizations,
Eliminating obstacles, in the act of wrathful actions subduing the maras,
I request, please grant common and sublime realizations.
Please bless to pacify the outer, inner, and secret obstacles,
And may all my wishes succeed immediately.

OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM

OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA THOD THRENG TSÄL VAJRA SAMAYA JAH SIDDHI PHALA HUM AH

Generate strong faith that Padmasambhava is right in front of you, or on your crown. Think that Padmasambhava's omniscient mind can see you, understand your request, and think that there is no place that Padmasambhava's holy body, speech, and mind does not cover. Think that Padmasambhava, radiant, glorious, magnificent one, looks at you with a compassionate smile and loving eyes.

This short prayer combines both prayers of Padmasambhava (Illuminating the Obstacles and Accomplishing the Wishes).
