This prayer to the eight supreme vidyadharas, A Constant Stream of Blessings, was
composed by the Dzogchen yogin Jikm Trinl zer, for whom no obstacles due to
doubts ever occurred since he had been properly empowered into the mandala of
the secret mantra yana. He attained confidence in this prayer, which arose
instantaneously at the request of Dndup Gyatso, a Rabjampa of the Gelugpa tradition at
Kokonor in the north. By the power of the merit of writing this prayer, may the blessings
of the vidyadharas enter the mind-streams of all with whom he has a connection.
