1. Taking Refuge
Namo! Lama, in your perfect form,
you embody all the sugatas; Your very nature is that of the
Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Until enlightenment is fully
realized, We and all beings of the six
realms take refuge in you. (three times) 2. Arousing the Awakened Mind of Bodhichitta We arouse the bodhichitta, the
heart of the awakened mind, and, for the sake of all living beings, When we have accomplished the
enlightened state of the master, We vow to liberate them all,
through the enlightened actions Of teaching each and every one according to their needs. (three times) 3. The Seven Branch Offering Approach now, gurus, devas, and
dakinis: Take your seats on these cushions
of lotus, sun and moon. We offer homage, while devotion
fills our body, speech and mind. We make offerings, outer, inner
and secret. We confess all impairments and
breakages of vows, all our harmful actions and obscurations. We rejoice that the secret mantrayana
is being accomplished in practice. We request you to turn the wheel
of the secret mantra teachings, which ripen and liberate. Remain with us without passing
into nirvana, we pray. We dedicate all merit so that
sentient beings attain the essence of enlightenment. May we all realize our true vajra
nature! 4. The Main Visualization Before us in the sky, in a shimmering
sphere of light, white and blue, yellow, red and green, Floats a throne held aloft by
lions, with cushions of lotus, sun and moon. There you preside, the actual
presence of all the buddhas of the three kayas, Root master, in the form of the
Lotus-born Guru. Your complexion is white, tinged
with red, your expression slightly wrathful, Wearing the lotus hat, gown,
and Dharma robes, with A magnificent dark red cape of
shining brocade. Your right hand holds a five-pointed
vajra; Your left a skull-cup containing
the vase of long-life. A khatvanga cradled in your left
arm, You are seated in the vajra posture. From the mandalas of your wisdom
body, speech and mind Appear infinite gurus, devas,
dakinis and dharmapalas; All send out and gather back
brilliant, dazzling light, And all become actually present,
here. Visualizing this, recite
‘The Prayer in Seven Chapters’ and ‘The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Spontaneously Fulfils All Wishes’,
‘The Seven Line Prayer’, and ‘The Prayer which Removes All Obstacles from the Path’, along with prayers
taken from the earlier and later terma treasures, and prayers of any kind that carry the blessing of the vajra speech of the
saints of the past. Recite them with an intense longing and yearning, and an all-consuming devotion. If you can not manage this
much, then it will be all right simply to recite ‘The Prayer to the Three Kaya Guru’ and ‘The Prayer to Guru Rinpoche that Spontaneously Fulfils All Wishes’. Whatever you do, at the
end call out to Guru Rinpoche and invoke his wisdom mind by chanting the Vajra Guru mantra as much as possible. 5. Empowerment and Dissolution From the three syllables OM AH
HUNG at the three centres of the master, Rays of light burst out, one
after another, and then all together. Streaming into our three centres,
where they dissolve, Granting us the four empowerments,
purifying our four obscurations, and Making us a suitable vessel to
practise the four paths. Finally, the master dissolves
into us, merging inseparably, And in that state, We gaze into our original face:
the dharmakaya, beyond the ordinary mind. 6. Dedication of Merit Through the positivity and merit
of this, may I swiftly Accomplish the realization of
the master of Orgyen, and so May I bring each and every single
living being To that perfect state as well! So, seal the practice with
prayers of dedication. To fit the exact requirements in the request made by the great incarnate treasure revealer Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, this was composed by the favourite servant of the lake-born guru, Khyentséi Wangpo Pema Ösel Dongak Lingpa. May all things be well!
