Gathering the Accumulations

Gathering the Accumulations evokes the sacred mandala of the Three Roots—Lama, Yidam, and Khandro—the living sources of blessing, realization, and enlightened activity in Vajrayāna Buddhism. The supplication “Lama Yidam Khandro Sheg” is not merely an invitation, but a heartfelt calling of wisdom and compassion to descend into the practitioner’s continuum. Through devotion and aspiration, merit (puṇya) and wisdom (jñāna) are accumulated together, purifying obscurations and ripening the path to awakening. The concise prayer gently reminds us that genuine practice is grounded in refuge, sustained by blessings, and dedicated to the liberation and happiness of all sentient beings.
