This guru-yoga supplication entitles "The Gift of a Wish-fulfilling Treasury" was [composed by being] recited to those who had faith in the stone pillar 1 and "the lord and subjects"2, by Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu in the central temple of Samye Mingyur Lhungyi Drubpa which is the centre of Tibet, during the waxing phase of the moon in the month of miracles4 in the year of the male earth horse .
Translated by Peter Roberts, Scotland, November 1990.
In one edition this is missing, in another two it has been badly copied out so that rdo-ring becomes a meaningless "snga-ral" (and further on ngor has become don). If "stone-pillar" is correct it must refer to the inscribed pillar at Samye erected during Trisong's reign.
King Trisong Deutsen and twenty-four others who were Padmasambhava's principal pupils.
Samye temple, established by Padmasambhava, King trisong Deutsen and Shantarakshita. It's building commenced in 762, ended in 766 and it was consecrated in 767.
The first month of the lunar year, the first two weeks of which is said to be the time that the Buddha manifested miracles at Shravasti to overcome the challenges of non-Buddhist teachers. Other editions of this prayer have chu-'phrul instead of cho-'phrul (miracle) and have "lo" (year) misplaced.
This would have been 1798.
