The Fifty Verses of Guru Devotion [Skt: Gurupancashika; Tib: Lama Nga-chu-pa] was written in about the first century B.C. by Ashvagosha.
Success in following either the sutra or the tantra path to enlightenment depends solely upon your guru devotion. Guru devotion involves both thought and action. The most important thing is to develop the total conviction that your guru is a buddha—this is a prerequisite for receiving any insight. Through devotion to your guru, showing him respect and making offerings, you accumulate the merit necessary to attain liberation from all suffering.
Ashvagosha’s Fifty Verses is the most comprehensive summary of devoting yourself to your guru by means of action.
