The heart essence of all the sources of refuge of samsara and nirvana, who are as vast as space,

Powerful and wrathful vidyadhara Pema Tötreng Tsal;

Within your body, all that appears and exists is the perfect buddha mandala:

In order to liberate all beings from samsara, I take refuge in you!

In the ground of the luminous tiklé of supremely secret wisdom,

May the three obscurations of all beings be purified, and

With the four visions spontaneously perfected in the tiklé of the wisdom body, speech and mind,

May all beings be liberated into the youthful vase body! For this, I generate the heart and mind of bodhichitta.

To the primordial, unaltered nature of rigpa, I pay homage! And

The luminosity, transcending limits and dimensions, I offer!

In the expanse of the sameness of samsara and nirvana, I confess!

In the great exhaustion of all dharmas, beyond the ordinary mind, I rejoice!

Turn the wheel of the teachings of the spontaneously perfect Dzogpachenpo!

Stir the depths of samsara, I pray!

In the absolute state, free of subject, object or activity, I dedicate!

The Mountain Smoke Offering:

Bhrum!

In the vast lustrous vessel, made of the essence of various jewels,

The samaya substances, all the desirable objects in worldly existence, are

Transformed into the nectar of wisdom through the blessing of the three seed syllables OM AH HUNG.

So that all that appears and exists becomes an offering of all that is desirable.

This I offer to the lamas, yidams, dakinis, dharmapalas and

All the mandalas of the buddhas of the ten directions,

To the local deities of this world, beings of the six realms and the guests to whom I owe karmic debts.

And especially to those who would steal my life and deplete my life force,

To the malicious jungpo demons who inflict sickness and obstacles,

Bad signs in dreams and all types of evil omens,

The eight classes of negative spirits, the masters of magical illusions,

And those to whom I owe karmic debts of food, place and wealth,

To forces that bring obscuration and madness, to the shades of men and women dead.

To all the spirits, térangs, ghouls and female ghosts!

Now all my karmic debts are paid, burnt in the scarlet flames.

Whatever each one desires, may the objects of their desires rain down:

For as far and as long as space exists

I dedicate an inexhaustible amount of sensual stimulants!

May my negative actions and obscurations accumulated in past, present and future,

And misuse of the offerings made to the Three Jewels, in devotion and for the dead,

Be purified in the fire of this sang offering!

Let its flames fill the entire universe and every minute particle of flame

Become an inexhaustible cloud of offerings like Samantabhadra’s

Pervading throughout all the buddha realms!

May these flames, offering rays of five-coloured lights of wisdom,

Pervade throughout the six classes of beings, down to the Avichi Hells,

The three realms of samsara be liberated into the rainbow body,

And all sentient beings awaken into the heart of enlightenment!

With OM AH HUNG, make the offering a hundred, thousand, or several hundred thousand times.

All is purified into the three kayas: the environment, a heavenly place where

Dharmakaya, sambhogakaya and nirmanakaya--appearance and the form aggregates of existence

Melt into nectar, flooding the whole expanse of the sky with rainbow light.

Samsara is liberated into nirvana; this essence of immaculate nectar,

I share with all those who, from beginningless time until now,

Have been guests in worldly existence.

Having attained all the noble qualities of the stages, paths and fruition,

And dispelled all obstacles in view, meditation and action,

Within the sky-like space of Samantabhadra’s wondrous wisdom mind,

May we seize the stronghold of the youthful vase body!

And when at last the great ocean of samsara is emptied,

May all beings attain buddhahood in the Lotus Net of Akanishtha!

The sang offerings of the aggregates and elements blaze in vivid, brilliant splendour!

The sang offerings of red and white bodhichitta blaze in bliss and emptiness!

The sang offerings of emptiness and compassion fill the dharmadhatu!

Upon the ground of five-coloured vajra light of phenomenal existence, samsara and nirvana,

I offer the sang offering of spontaneously accomplished perfect buddhahood.

May all my karmic debts from the past be purified!

In the present so they do not remain in my mind-stream, I confess them!

In the future, may I never be drawn into the wheel of obscuration!

All impairments of the vows of individual liberation, bodhisattva precepts,

And samayas of the vidyadharas,

Conscious or unwitting, I openly admit.

May illness, harmful influence, obscurations and impurities be purified!

May this age of plague, famine and warfare be pacified!

May the attacks of invaders be repelled!

May the forces that create obstacles by inviting the spiritual teacher to leave this world be averted!

May inauspicious bad omens for the land of Tibet be averted!

May the planetary forces, nagas and arrogant king-like spirits, who cut short the breath of life, be repelled!

May the eight great fears and sixteen lesser fears be overcome!

Wherever I reside, may all that is inauspicious be averted![1]

May the powers and strength of samaya-breakers and gongpo demons be averted!

As indicated in the ritual for the fire offering, use 108 sang burners and various kinds of wood.

Through this diamond-like practice of Riwo Sangchö, one will be able to ‘ransom’ death, purify the misuse of offerings and avert the various kinds of obstacle. In accordance with the dakini’s instructions, this was set down, without any error, when revealing the hidden land of Sikkim.

Samaya. Gya. Gya. Gya.

It is said that this arose from the sound of Tertön Namkha Jikmé’s damaru when he was revealing the hidden land of Sikkim.
