Parnashavari Sadhana

from the Collected Works of Lord Jigten Sumgön

The practice of Parnashavari is certain to be accomplished by a pure mind stream with love, compassion, bodhicitta, and a very clear samadhi. Once, when great harm threatened me, by doing the practice of the goddess Parnashavari, the mother who is the embodiment of love, I was freed from dangers. Therefore, recalling her kindness, I have composed this practice. By this means, may all achieve supreme awakening!

—Drikung Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön

At present, all regions of the world are affected by a terrible epidemic. May this sadhana compiled and arranged from the quintessence of the Parnashavari sadhanas written by Drikung Kyobpa Jigten Sumgön, along with [my] single-minded supplications to him, pacify the epidemic, and also the karmic, afflictive, and cognitive obscurations; and may it swiftly lead us to the supreme state of complete awakening.
