I kept it secret for five years. Although now, in this degenerate age, recipients for this profound teaching are rare, in the year of the evil malicious snake, in a tent of white wool, a wisdom-space Dakini prophesied, 'After three years have passed, three supreme heart sons will appear. One will bear the name of Vajra, who is very courageous. One will bear the name of Jnana, who is a lord amongst siddhas. One will bear the name of the five families, who is a master of poetry. To these, you should open the Dharma gate.'Thus, in accordance with the prophecy, at the request of my lineage holding heart sons and of the Madman from Kongpo, a hidden yogi, I released the seal of secrecy of this profound teaching. The Five Sisters of Long Life and Rahula, the Wild Life-Cutting Blade, were commanded to guard it well. Samaya. Seal. May it be glorious for all who are karmically connected to it.

• Training in the Pure Realms of the Three Kāyas, an Aspiration and Prayer (sku gsum zhing khams sbyong ba'i gsol debs smon lam) (463-468)
  • English translation: Training in the Pure Realms of the Three Kāyas, an Aspiration and Prayer by Rigdzin Jikmé Lingpa, translated by Rigpa Translations
  • Colophon: Once I was alone in solitary retreat in ‘The Akaniṣṭha Vajra Cave’, a hermitage blessed by the naturally arising enlightened speech of Padmasambhava, when early one morning, I caught sight of Mount Hépori and thought: “Wait…It was on that hilltop just over there that Khenpo Śāntarakṣita, the master Padma, the King and the disciples once walked, subjugated gods and ghosts, and relaxed. Many are the tales that appear to that effect. But now, apart from their names, not a single trace of them remains.” I was gripped by a conviction that in the very same way, everything is transient, impermanent. And although I had reckoned on staying alive, and not dying, for a few years more, what certainty was there that I would not leave for my next life the very next day? This train of thought filled me with haunting sorrow and aching weariness, and a sense of renunciation that was boundless. The memory of Guru Rinpoche, the King and the disciples plunged me into floods of tears. And this was why, at that moment I, Chatral Khyentsé Özer, wrote this ‘Prayer and Aspiration to Training in the Pure Realms of the Three Kāyas’: a prayer invoking and imploring Guru Rinpoche, coupled with an aspiration prayer suitable for daily recitation based on the root words of the way to attain liberation through the experiences of the bardo states.
