May all the gods think well, by the power of all secret mantras and vidya-mantras, and by the true words of those who speak truthfully, may merit be as stable as a mountain, may the lineage be as clear as the sun and moon, and may fame spread like the sky. With this auspiciousness, may there be happiness and well-being today! With the blessings of Brahma, Indra, and the protectors, and the auspiciousness of the beneficial gods residing here, may happiness and wishes be fulfilled as desired, and may there be longevity, freedom from illness, and happiness! Without the need for effort and striving, may the wish-fulfilling jewel and the wish-fulfilling tree, which fulfill the hopes of sentient beings, bring the auspiciousness of fulfilling wishes! May eighty thousand kinds of obstacles be pacified, may we be separated from unfavorable and harmful conditions, and may we accomplish favorable conditions and be perfectly endowed. With this auspiciousness, may there be happiness and well-being today! May we live a hundred years and see a hundred autumns, may there be longevity, freedom from illness, and perfect happiness, and may we definitely arise in the supreme vehicle. With this auspiciousness, may there be happiness and well-being today! In the past, in the presence of the Bhagavan, for those who practice according to the Dharma, the Dharma-protecting protectors promised to guard and protect them. May there be the auspiciousness of these Dharma-protecting protectors! Those who see deeply and widely, Dhrtarastra and Virudhaka, Virupaksa and Vaisravana, may there be the auspiciousness of the four great kings! May there be happiness and well-being during the day, happiness and well-being during the night, and happiness and well-being even at noon. May the Buddhas grant constant happiness and well-being day and night today. Likewise, ending with the three sentences "happiness and well-being during the day," may the sacred Dharma grant it today. May the Sangha grant it today. May Brahma also grant it today. May the lord of the gods grant it today. May the protectors of the world grant it today. May the protectors of the white side grant it today. Thus, say it extensively or concisely as appropriate. By the merit of writing this, may all sentient beings as vast as space purify their obscurations, completely perfect the two accumulations, and attain power over the kingdom of the Victorious Ones! This, called "The Stages for Beginners: The Source of Benefit and Happiness," is seen to be very beneficial to many, and at the request of a few who are interested, was arranged in order by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo Taranatha.

If you cannot do it extensively, you must recite the Sutra of the Three Heaps. After that, recite three times the seven-branch offering that appears in the "Bodhicaryavatara." Until I reach the essence of enlightenment, I take refuge in the Buddhas. I also take refuge in the Dharma and the assembly of Bodhisattvas. Just as the Sugatas of the past generated the mind of enlightenment and dwelt in the training of the Bodhisattvas, in that order. I also, for the benefit of beings, generate the mind of enlightenment, and in the training of the Bodhisattvas, I will train in order. Take refuge and generate the mind of enlightenment with three recitations. Then, take the eight-limbed Uposatha: Homage to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! Homage to the noble Avalokiteshvara, the Great Compassionate One! Just as the Tathagatas, Arhats, Perfectly Awakened Buddhas of the past, like a well-tamed horse, like a great elephant, have done what was to be done, have abandoned the burden, have attained their own benefit, have completely exhausted the bonds of existence, have the correct teachings, a mind of perfect liberation, those with wisdom of perfect liberation.
