Here is Contained the Secret Practice of the Long Life,

This practice of the Most Precious Essence of the United Intent of the Long Life Practices was practiced by the
Immortal Vidyadhara Vajradhara (Guru Padma) who came to Tibet from India, the land of Aryas, in the
hermitage of the Yamalung. Practiciones who will diligently practice this will realize the body similiar to
immortal vajra. This was hidden in the center of the easter part of the land of snow in Do Kham, in the Lhang
Drang, that is the jewel of the long life and prosperity. May the son who came out from the depth of heart of the
(Master) of Oddiyana, one hundred and twenty five root dharma holders and others be liberated from the three
spheres of samsara and benefit sentient beings.
SAMAYA. GYA GYA GYA Treasure Seal. Hidden Seal. Profound Seal. Secret Seal.Entrustment Seal.

These words are protected by the Goddess of the Long Life and Prosperity (Tashi Tseringma).

The crazy mendicant Pema Ddl took out the yellow scroll from the place of Lhang Lhang Norbu in Drakar
and to fullfill the desire the of the prophesized dharma holder Ogyan Phuntsog, who is the fortunate disciple,

deciphered the symbolic script. It was writted down by Sonam Thaye. May all beigs who are in the illlusion of
samsara, without exception, accomplish their own self awereness of the Immortal Vajra!

Note:
1. Threefold Excellence: 1.the excellent beginning of refuge and bodhichitta, 2.the excellent
main part of the practice and 3. the excellent conclusion of dedication.
