This one comes from my Rigpa Sangha friend. Julie. I met Julie in San Francisco during the Rigpa City Retreat in 2001, and she has been a great friend since. Thank you Julie for sharing this…
With your compassion inspire us with your blessings
With your love guide us and others along the path
With your realization grant us siddhis
With your power dispel the obstacles facing us all
Outer obstacles dispel them externally
Inner obstacles dispel them internally
Secret obstacles dispel them into space
In devotion I pay… homage and take refuge in you
Om ah hung vajra guru pema siddhi hung

Sogyal Rinpoche asked us to recite the long version a few years ago to help avert obstacles now we include this short version in our concluding practices–mostly in the Ngondro. For me it’s “home” or ground.
