Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye
Translation: Michele Martin
Calling the Lama from Afar: A Supplication That Pierces the Heart with Devotion (བླ་མ་རྒྱང་འབོད་ཀྱི་གསོལ་འདེབས་མོས་གུས་སྙིང་གི་གཟེར་འདེབས།) was composed by Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye (1813-1899) as a supplication to the lamas of all the main traditions of Dharma that arose in Tibet. The long poem speaks of seeing the positive qualities of those superior to us and of looking into our own faults. Since the text can evoke a special, deep feeling, it is recited by many faithful disciples living in the East and West.
