    • Colophon: As part of the Longchen Nying’hig cycle of dharma teachings, this activity manual for the Wrathful Lama Takhyung Barwa was composed ex tempore, with suitable additional prayers taken from the Rigdzin and the Mother Consort Command (Yum-ka) sections of this cycle, as well as the interpolation of some of the verses of the seven-branch prayer and the chhad-t’ho. In order to facilitate recitation aloud, this was composed by the vajrayana practitioner Jigmed Mikyod Dorje, one who has been cared for by the aspirations formulated by the great omniscient one (Longchenpa) and who has seen some slight sign of this special deity. Jayantu! May it be victorious! Good fortune!
