GURU PUJA by First Panchen Lama
Within the Tantra tradition, reliance upon and devotion to one's Guru are of paramount importance - without them progress on the path to Enlightenment cannot be made. Thus, Guru Yoga is the foundation of Mahayana tantric practice, and gives vitality to the serious practitioner's meditation. This fifth reprint of The Guru Puja and The Hundred Deities of the Land of Joy provides the student with two essential prayers for such practice, and the juxtaposition of the Tibetan transliteration and English translation of these prayers is intended to facilitate their use by non-Tibetan Buddhist practitioners.

GURU YOGA: According to the Preliminary Practice of Longchen Nyingtik by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, trans. by Gelong Konchog Tenzin (Matthieu Ricard)
Why is the practice guru yoga, (union with the nature of the guru) so important? Because, with the help of the outer teacher, the inner teacher (the true nature of our own mind) is discovered. This particular guru yoga is called The Wish-fulfilling Jewel and is the outer practice of the guru from the Longchen Nyingtik revelation of Rigdzin Jikme Lingpa. It was during a summer retreat in France in 1984 that Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche gave teachings on this text. This is a new commentary and not a re-edit of teachings in the book The Wish-fulfilling Jewel.

GURU YOGA FOR THE FOUR SESSIONS OF MIKYO DORJE by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
The subject for this [presentation] is the Guru Yoga [for the Four Sessions] by Karmapa Mikyo Dorje. If we look at the tradition [of the teachings] of the Buddha, we [find] that he predicted that the Karmapa would appear in the future. The meaning of [the name] "Karmapa" is 'buddha activity". "Buddha activity" can be interpreted in many different ways, such as continually spreading or carrying on the activity of the Buddha in the future and guiding sentient beings. [...] excerpt from page 4.
There are many different 'la may nal jor' [or guru yogas], but this "Guru Yoga for the Four Sessions" of Karmapa Mikyo Dorje is particularly powerful. Unlike other forms, it is very specific and detailed in order to nurture our inner and secret qualities. It is called the "Guru Yoga for the Four Sessions" because the student practices it four times a day. [...] excerpt from page 5.
