The '''Aspiration to be Reborn in the Pure Realm of Sukhavati''' (Tib. རྣམ་དག་བདེ་ཆེན་ཞིང་གི་སྨོན་ལམ་, [[Wyl.]] ''rnam dag bde chen zhing gi smon lam'') aka '''Dechen Mönlam''' or '''Dé Mön''' (བདེ་སྨོན་, ''bde smon''), by [[Karma Chakmé]] Rinpoche (aka Raga Asé) is perhaps the most famous aspiration prayer to be reborn in [[Sukhavati]], the heaven of [[Amitabha]], in the Tibetan tradition.
