Calling The Lama From Afar

Music by Kirby
Text composed by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche (Jigdral Yeshe Dorje)
used by permission

In Tibetan Buddhism, the Lama/Mentor is the student's direct link to the inherent Buddha nature within. This text is a call and request to the
buddha lama to come and confer his blessings of realization upon the
practitioner. Many high lamas are noted for their ability to compose
spontaneous songs of great depth and clarity. In the colophon of this prayer it is noted that "This was spoken spontaneously as delirious
chatter by Jigdral Yeshe Dorje" His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche was a
renowned Lama of recent times and was the supreme head of the Nyingma Order until his death in 1990. He was a primary teacher of my teachers.
