MÖN-PA’Y DÖN-NAM GEK-MEY NYUR DRUP SHOK
May the aims of these prayers be swiftly accomplished without hindrance!
Thus so it was that, due to the earnest requests of all the faithful students who had a connection to him, which stated the need for a prayer for the swift rebirth of Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche, Jampel Namdröl Chökyi Gyeltsen Zangpo, who recently passed into peace, which came from those at the principal Jonang monastery and all secondary Jonangpa religious institutions, the Gomang College of Drepung Monastery, Ganden Monastery in Mongolia, the Samlo quarters of Sera Je Monastery, the lamas’ quarters at Ganden Monastery and so forth; and for myself as well, who knew this Holy Being since I was ten years old, I, the Dharma friend of this Holy Being, the Śākya shramaṇa and Dharma expounder, the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, composed a prayer of entreaty in powerful terms, as I later recollected the wishes of these determined, responsible and altruistic practitioners of the general and particular intentions of the Teachings, on the 12th day of the 1st month of the Water Dragon Year of the 17th Rabjung cycle; being the the 5th day of the 3rd month of the year 2012 (March 5th, 2012) by the Western calendar.

The 9th Jebtsundamba Khutughtu (1932 – 2012) and the Dalai Lama (right). He was the 9th reincarnation of the Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, the third highest lama in the Tibetan Buddhism hierarchy and the spiritual leader of the Gelug lineage among the Khalkha Mongols. Although recognized as the reincarnation of the Bogd Khan in 1936, his identity was kept a secret by the Dalai Lama until 1990 due the persecution of the Buddhist religion by the Mongolian People’s Republic.
