Calling upon the name of thine own guru, pray thus:

'[Alas!] wandering am I in the Bardo; rescue me!

[O] let not thy grace forsake me!'

Have faith in the Blood-Drinking Deities, too, and offer up this prayer:

'Alas! when [I am] wandering in the Sangsara, through force of overpowering illusions,

On the light-path of the abandonment of fright, fear, and awe,

May the bands of the Bhagavans, the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones, lead [me],

May the bands of the Wrathful Goddess Rich in Space be [my] rear-guard,

And save me from the fearful ambuscades of the Bardo,

And place me in the state of the Perfectly-Enlightened Buddhas.

When wandering alone, separated from dear friends,

When the void forms of one's own thoughts are shining here,

May the Buddhas, exerting the force of their grace,

Cause not to come the fear, awe, and terror in the Bardo.

When the five bright Wisdom-Lights are shining here,

May recognition come without dread and without awe;

When the divine bodies of the Peaceful and the Wrathful are shining here;

May the assurance of fearlessness be obtained and the Bardo be recognized.

When, by the power of evil karma, misery is being tasted,

May the tutelary deities dissipate the misery;

When the natural sound of Reality is reverberating [like] a thousand thunders,

May they be transmuted into the sounds of the Six Syllables.

When unprotected, karma having to be followed here,

I beseech the Gracious Compassionate [One] to protect me;

When suffering miseries of karmic propensities here,

May the blissfulness of the Clear Light dawn;

May the Five Elements not rise up as enemies;

But may I behold the realms of the Five Orders of the Enlightened Ones.'
