Dedication and Orientation
Offered with love, appreciation and gratitude to Vidyadhara, the Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and
his Vajra Regent and dharma heir Ösel Tendzin, for the benefit of their present and future disciples, and all beings.
Through hearing, seeing and contemplating these teachings of the Vidyadhara through his Vajra Regent,
May we realize the essence of transmission from teacher to student.
May we hold precious this seed planting of Vajrayana dharma and Shambhala vision in the West.
Through their gestures and words, may we wake up on the spot.
May we not become confused by spiritual materialism in any form.
Now, practicing moment by moment until the end of this life and beyond, may we free all beings.
