There is also one by Rigpa, it also contains a lot of other prayers to Guru Rinpoche. http://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?titl ... _Blessings

"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

Wow thanks! Now I really don't know which to get! 
Do you know if the RIgpa book contains the original Tibetan text as well?

It has. Line by line translation and how to recite it.
