Reflecting on the sufferings to be endured over the course of life, from birth to old age, to death and its aftermath, this prayer cries out the anguished refrain: "Precious Guru, bestower of refuge, Supreme Arya Chenrezig, lead me out of sa?sara!” The composition by the renowned Panchen Lozang Chogyen is a powerful meditation on the terrors of samsara and the need for dedicating one's life solely to spiritual practice.
