It is commonly believed that the Great Guru Gampopa (otherwise known as Dvagpo-Larhe), compiled
this work, and that he handed it on with this injunction : 'I entreat those devotees of generations yet
unborn, who will honour my memory and regret not having met me in person, to study this, The
Supreme Path, The Rosary of Precious Gems, and also The Precious Ornament of Liberation, along
with other religious treatises. The result will be equivalent to that of an actual meeting with myself.'

Obeisance to the Precious Guru :
Let him who desires deliverance from the fearful and difficult to traverse Sea of Successive Existences,
by means of the precepts taught by the inspired Kargyupta Sages, render due homage to these
Teachers, whose glory is immaculate, whose virtues are as inexhaustible as the ocean, and whose infinite
benevolence embraceth all beings, past, present, and future, throughout the Universe.
For the use of those who share in the quest for Divine Wisdom there follow, recorded in writing, the
most highly esteemed precepts, called 'The Supreme Path, the Rosary of Precious Gems', transmitted to
Gampopa, either directly or indirectly, through that inspired Dynasty of Gurus, out of their love for him.
