恒时祈求、回向

由于依止上师是最重要的修行，我们应当恒时祈求并回向功德，好让自己得以如法地依止善知识。将我们的功德回向圆满上师的圣愿，即是在种因，使我们得以成办上师所有的教诫。我们也应当将功德回向我们的上师都长寿。

Supplicate & dedicate merits constantly

As relying on the teacher is the most important practice, we need to constantly supplicate and dedicate our merits in order for us to rely on the excellent teachers according to the teachings. We shall then dedicate our merits toward perfect accomplishment of our teacher's noble wishes. Even if it is just to plant a cause, we will be able to carry out all of the teacher's instructions eventually. We ought to also dedicate our merits for the longevity of our Guru.
