The Continuous Rain of Nectar that Nurtures the Sprouting of the Four Kayas: A Guru Yoga of the Sixteenth Lord, Rigpe Dorje (རྗེ་བཅུ་དྲུག་པ་རིག་པའི་རྡོ་རྗེའི་བླ་མའི་རྣལ་འབྱོར་སྐུ་བཞིའི་མྱུ་གུ་སྐྱེད་བྱེད་བདུད་རྩིའི་ཆར་རྒྱུན། ) is a crown jewel within the great treasure of The Sixteenth Karmapa’s Collected Works. 

As the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa wrote in the foreword to the commentary on the guru yoga by H.E. Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, The Means to Attain the Four Kayas: This guru yoga of the Sixteenth Gyalwang Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, is special and of particular significance because it was composed by the Sixteenth Karmapa himself, and to this day it remains as the daily guru yoga practice for many of his students. 

As every guru yoga related to the Karmapas, this practice allows their students to receive the direct blessings of their lineage, purifiy obscurations and increase accumulations, and eventually attain the very state of the guru’s four kayas. And especially in this ebook the lineage blessings are even more present because the Guru Yoga is recited by the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa.

Note: Since it belongs to the path of secret mantra, this guru yoga, should be practiced only by people who have received the appropriate transmission and instruction from a qualified lama.
