Du Sum Sangye Prayer Flag - Hemmed Single Print (11 in x 14 in)

This is prayer flag depicts the semi-wrathful form of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) in the center surrounded by the special prayer called “Du Sum Sangye” (The Buddhas of the Three Times).  This widely practiced powerful prayer was written by Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava).  It invokes his blessings as the embodiment of all the Buddhas of the three times. It is a supplication for purification, protection, and the removal of obstacles. By invoking Guru Rinpoche in this form, his enlightened presence swiftly dispels negativity, fear, disease, and harmful influences. Used in times of natural disasters, wars, uncertainty, or difficulties, it brings protection, courage, and the removal of obstacles.

According to Nyingma lineage sources, the prayer was originally taught by Guru Rinpoche himself in the 8th century. As he did with many practices, he concealed it as a terma — a “treasure teaching” — to be discovered at a later time when beings would most need it. The great tertön (treasure revealer) Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, 1000 years later, in the 19^th century pulled the text from “the right-hand side of the Sengchen Namdrak (Great Lion) rock on Mount Rinchen Tsekpa (Pile of Jewels). The blessings of this prayer is especially intended for our present time. 

The Du Sum Sangye prayer is first written on the top of the prayer flag in Tibetan, then transliterated into Western script, and then beneath that, translated into English.
