71. Preparation for Generating Bodhicitta VI — Requesting the Teachers Not to Pass into Nirvana

Meditation Guide

The Beginning

Take refuge and arouse bodhichitta.

The Main Part

Think that in this and other world systems, the buddhas, bodhisattvas and gurus... are ready to enter nirvana... beseech them that until samsara is emptied, they may remain in the world and benefit sentient beings.

Reminder

Time and again when such prayers were made, many eminent masters changed their minds and lived on for many more years... entreating teachers not to pass into nirvana is critical and very meritorious.

The Ending

Dedicate the merit in emptiness, free from mental constructions and fabrications.
