The Aspirational Prayer to the Realm of Great Bliss, Dewachen
Composed by the learned and accomplished Raga Asye
Om Ami Dewa Hrih!

, ,

This is a treasury from the heart practice of Chagme (Karma Chagme). Although my hands are in
great pain, after considering the immense benefit this would bring forth to beings, I diligently
composed this prayer. There is no greater merit than to propagate this prayer widely by allowing
others to contemplate and practice it. There is no dharma teaching more profound than this. It is
the root of all dharma. Do not fall into indifference, but persevere in this practice. Since it
belongs to the class of sutra, one does not need the oral scriptural transmission in order to
contemplate and practice it.

- RAGA ASYE

This is the aspirational prayer of Dewachen by the treasure minister Raga Asye. From the
perfect mind of the treasure-discoverer, it was gathered from the Space Dharma. The letters were
written down by the attendant Kunga.
We confess any mistake made here before the divinity. By this merit, may all beings be reborn in
the pure realm of Dewachen.

Colophon:

Under the direction of Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche, and with kind assistance from Lama Drimed
Lodro, this translation was completed in time for the auspicious start of year of Fire Dog (2006).
We confess any mistakes in the translation and dedicate all merit to the longevity of all lineageholder gurus. We pray this text may bring forth the sole benefit of leading beings on the path of
towards the great pleasure grove. - Benson Young
