To my noble Gurus of the Three Times,
Teachers and Virtuous Friends of Nalanda, Vikramshila & Taxila,
The Lineage Holders of Nyingma, Bön, Kagyu, Sakya & Gelug in the Land of Snow
who continue to turn the wheel of Dharma unceasingly.

To the great Mahasiddhas of the Past, Present and Future
who continue to sing the joyous songs of Dharma
Bringing joy and liberation to all by prajna and upaya.
I bow at your feet requesting your blessings.

Colophon:

At the behest of the Western disciples of Buddhadharma, this compilation of chants was recorded by a disciple of the Buddha, the Indian monk Tenzin LS Priyadarshi, who is only qualified to smear his forehead with the dust from the Guru's feet firmly believing that Guru devotion can transform his harsh cry like of a crow into sweet melody of a nightingale. May this facilitate the study and practice of Dharma seekers in the West.

Bhavatu Sarva Mangalam!
