Aspirations for The Great Seal, the actual aim of practice, was composed by Lord Rangjung Dorje, Karmapa III. Ken McLeod originally translated this prayer at the request of a number of students who wish to make it part of their practice. In 2024, at Donna McLaughlin's request for the mahamudra-practice.com site, Ken revised his translation to correct some mistakes and to make the prayer read better when chanted.
