UPDATE Prayer to Remove Obstacles, for His Holiness Ogyen Trinley Dorje 17th Karmapa

The request  for mantra recitations comes from the fourth Dodrupchen Rinpoche,  a very special Nyingma Lama who lives in Gangtok, Sikkim, India.  The details of the instruction and how to register a commitment for recitations can be found on the Karmapa Foundation Europe website, under About Karmapa >  Prayers,  where there is also a recording of Ringu Tulku Ringu Tulku chanting  the mantra.

Rinpoche has asked that this mantra be recited by us for the benefit of HIs Holiness Karmapa: 

"Please recite the Essence of Dependent Origination dharani for HH the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje. This is recommended by many great masters. This will clear all obstacles, bring long life and help to accomplish all his activities in order to bring great benefit to countless beings and the whole universe. This is the dharani:

ये धर्मा हेतु प्रभवा हेतुं
तेषां तथागतः ह्यवदत्
तेषां च यो निरोध
एवं वादी महाश्रमण

OM YE DHARMA HETU-PRABHAVA HETUM TESHAM TATHAGATO HYAVADAT TESHAM CHA YO NIRODHA EVAM VADI MAHASHRAMANAH SVAHA

ཆོས་རྣམས་ཐམས་ཅད་རྒྱུ་ལས་བྱུང་། །
དེ་རྒྱུ་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པས་གསུངས། །
རྒྱུ་ལ་འགོག་པ་གང་ཡིན་པ། །
དགེ་སྦྱོང་ཆེན་པོས་འདི་སྐད་གསུངས། །

All dharmas originate from causes.
The Tathagata has taught these causes,
And also that which puts a stop to these causes—
This too has been taught by the Great Shramana".
