This prayer was written by Benkar Jampal Zangpo and somewhat represents the teachings and the gurus of the Dagpo Kagyu. This prayer can be divided roughly into two parts: to whom you are praying and; the essence of the prayer, which includes verses on turning the mind away from samsara, devotion and aspiration, non-distraction and insight meditation.
The second half is a teaching on the guru-disciple relationship, which covers the importance of a guru, four types of guru, the qualities of a guru. There is also a very good question and answer session.
