Description

Barche Lamsel — the outer practice of prayer from Lame Tukdrup Barche Kunsel (The Heart Practice of the Lama: Averting All Obstacles on the Path), which was revealed by Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa (the emanation of Prince Murub Tsenpo) together with Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.

The supplication constitutes the outer stage of that practice. May this fully dispel the obstacles and frailty of the doctrine and beings and may it be a cause for the complete accomplishment of the benefits of all sentient beings.
