Barché Lamsel (Tib. བར་ཆད་ལམ་སེལ་, Wyl. bar chad lam sel) — a prayer to Guru Rinpoche in which the practitioner brings to mind the great master and his qualities by recollecting his twelve deeds associated with his twelve emanations. It was initially revealed as a terma in the 13th century by Tulku Bakal Mukpo, and later revealed again as the outer practice of prayer from Lamé Twelve emanations of Guru Rinpoche (The Heart Practice of the Lama: Averting All Obstacles on the Path), which was revealed by Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa together with Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Both Bakal Mukpo and Chokgyur Lingpa were incarnations of prince Murub Tsepo.
