About this talk. In this 152-minute morning practice session from a 2004 Mahāmudrā retreat, Lama Zopa Rinpoche guides practitioners through guru devotion and systematic purification. Opening with reflections on confessing negative karma accumulated through broken vows, Rinpoche emphasizes the spiritual master as both refuge and object of purification. The session includes the full Guru Puja practice: merit field visualization, bodhicitta generation, and detailed guru yoga practice. He covers the significance of guru devotion as the foundation for all realization, the Mahāmudrā lineage supplication, tanglen (giving and taking), and instruction on bodhisattva and tantric vows. The session concludes with long-life prayers and dedication. Intended for practitioners who have received higher yoga tantra initiation.

From suffering and achieve happiness myself, but to free all my kind mother sentient beings in the oceans of some psychic suffering and bring them to a state of perfect happiness and bliss. In order to do this, I need to gain realization to the past. And in order to do this, I need to purify defilements. If I were now born in the house, it would be so unbearable. Even one tiny fire spark on my body is hundreds of thousands of times hotter than the whole entire fire energy in this earth.
It is so unbearable that experiencing for even an instant is like suffering for many eons. I’ve created numberless causes to be born in the hell realms by breaking the ten non virtuous actions. By creating the ten non virtuous actions countless times in this and beginningless past lives. I’ve created numberless causes to be born in the hell realms by breaking the Pradhimoksha vows, by breaking the bodhisattva vows, and by breaking the tantric vows, commitments countless times in this beginningless past lives. And I’ve created numberless causes to be born in the her arms by creating the heaviest negative karma and relationship with the holy virtuous friend, which produces the greatest obstacles and brings heaviest suffering.
Every single one of these negative karmas that I have created has four suffering results. The ripening result and the type of rebirth that I’m born into. The possessed result, the type of environment I’m born into and again human. The result similar to the cause in my experience and the worst one. The result similar to the cause in my actions which means that again and again by force of habit, I’m driven to create the same non virtuous actions over and over in countless future lives.
And therefore, again and again, I have to experience the same four suffering results. This way, saṃsāra has no end. Not only that but karma is definite. So for every single negative action I’ve created, definitely I have to experience result until it is purified. And karma increases.
So for me even a small negative action can come a huge suffering result. Understanding this, how can I stand to live life without purifying myself of all these negative karmas immediately just as one would try to get rid of a deadly poison in the body? Not only that, but death is definite and it could happen any moment even today, even right now. Therefore, while I have this precious human rebirth full of full of opportunity, I must do everything that I can to purify all these negative karmas in my mind stream. And I must do this so that I can develop my mind in order to be able to benefit each and every single sentient being.

Prostrate. All you thirty five Buddhas and others as many as target as Ahands, perfectly completed Buddhas as a rising, sustaining, residing in all the world systems of ten directions.
All you Buddha Bhagawans, please pay attention to me. In this life, in all states of rebirth in which I’ve still put in some sorrows through our beginningless lives, whatever negative actions I’ve created, made others create or rejoice in the creation of. Whatever possessions or stupas, possessions or sung, or possessions or sung of the ten directions that I’ve appropriated, made others appropriate or rejoice in the appropriation of. Whichever among the five actions of major retribution I have done, caused to be done, or rejoice in doing of, whichever paths or ten non virtuous actions I have engaged in, caused others to engage and rejoice in engaging in. Whatever I’ve created being obscured by these karmas causes me and sentient beings to be born in the hell realms, in the animal realm, and in the pretas realm, in the religious countries as barbarians or as long life gods with imperfect faculties, holding wrong views, or not being pleased with Buddha’s descent.
In the presence of the Buddha Bhagawan, who are transcendental wisdom, who are eyes, who are witnesses, who are valid, and who see with omniscient consciousness, I’m admitting and confessing all these negativities. I will not conceal them nor hide them. And from now and in the future, I’ll abstain and refrain from committing them again. Oh, but the bugger ones, please pay attention to me. In this sight, in all other states of rebirth in which I’ve circled in some sorrows throughout beginningless lives, whatever roots of virtue I’ve created by generosity, even as little as giving just one mouthful of food to being aboard in the animal realm, whatever roots of virtue I’ve created by guarding morality, whatever roots of virtue created by following pure conduct, whatever roots of virtue created by fully ripening sentient beings, whatever roots of virtue created by generating bodhicitta, and whatever roots of virtue created by my unspired transcendental wisdom, all these assembled and gathered combined together, I fully dedicate to the unspoused, the unexcelled, and higher than the high, that superior to superior.
Thus, I completely dedicate to the highest perfectly complete enlightenment. Just as the previous Buddha Bhagawans are fully dedicated, just as the future Buddha Bhagawans will fully dedicate, and just as the presently abiding Buddha Bhagawans are fully dedicating, like that, I too dedicate fully. I confess all negativities individually. I rejoice in all the merits. I urge and implore Buddhas to ground my request, may I receive the highest, most sublime transcendental wisdom to the conquerors, the best of humans, those who are living in the present time, those who have lived in the past, and those who will likewise come, To all those who have qualities as vast as an infinite ocean, with hands folded, I approach for refuge.
So let me stand while doing the general confession prayer. This is page forty one in the morning prayer section. Page forty one. All our great guru vajradhara, all other Buddhas and bodhisattvas who abide in the ten directions, and all the venerable Sangha, please pay attention to me. I, who have named, Circling in cyclic existence since beginningless time until the present, overpowered by mental afflictions such as attachment, aversion, ignorance, by means of body, speech, mind, have created the ten actions countless times in this and beginningless past lifetimes, which are hallucination.
I have engaged in the five uninterrupted negative karmas countless times, in this and beginningless past lifetimes, which are hallucination. And the five close actions of immediate retribution, countless times, and this in beginningless past lifetimes, which are hallucination. I have transgressed the vows of individual liberation countless times in this and beginningless past lifetimes, which are hallucination. Contradicted the trainings and body suffers countless times, and this in beginningless past lifetimes, which are hallucination. And transgress this admire of secret mantra countless times in this and beginningless past like times, which are hallucination.
I have been disrespectful to my parents countless times, and this is the beginning of past lifetime, which are hallucination. Have been disrespectful to my vajra masters countless times in this beginning, this past lifetimes, which are hallucination. And to my abbot countless times in this beginning of past lifetimes, which are hallucination. And have been disrespectful to my companion sharing pure behavior countless times in this beginningless past life times with your hallucination. I have committed actions harmful to Three Jewels countless times, and this and beginnings past like times, which are hallucination.
Criticized or avoided the holy dharma countless times, in this in this past five times, which are hallucination. Criticize the aryas sangha countless times in this and beginning of past lifetimes, which are hallucination. Harmed sentient beings, countless times in this and beginningless past lifetimes, which are hallucination. And so on. These and many other non virtuous negative actions I have done, have caused others to do, have rejoiced in others doing, and so forth, countless times in this and beginningless past like times, which are hallucination.
In the presence of the great guru vajradhara, all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas who abide in the ten directions in the venerable Sangha. I admit this entire collection of false and transgressions that are obstacles to my own higher rebirth and liberation and the causes of cyclic existence and miserable low rebirths. I will not conceal them, and I accept them as negative. I promise to refrain from doing these actions again in the future. So generate a minor restraint.
By confessing and acknowledging them, I will attain and abide in happiness. While by not confessing and acknowledging them, true happiness will not come. And thinking by the force of reciting the thirty five Buddha’s names, the force of vows that they have made to purify the various negative comments of us sentient beings, By the power of sighting the names of the medicine buddhas and prostrations, by the power of our faith and devotion, and our prostrations made to the mud field, infinite nectar rays and lights descend, completely purifying all the negative karmas and imprints on one’s own mind stream and the mind streams of all sentient beings. Think your mind has become completely pure. Not the slightest atom of negative karma remaining.
Then reflect in emptiness, there is no I that creates negative actions. In emptiness, there’s no creating of negative actions. In emptiness, there are no negative actions created. Even though there are infinite phenomena, in emptiness, nothing exists at all. In emptiness, everything is one taste.
From this emptiness, everything comes into existence. Whatever exists is the manifestation of emptiness. So we reached the section purification in the combined Georgian Lama Chopa. So today, we’ll do the vajrasana practice on page forty seven. On the crown of my head, a syllable bam transforms into a lotus, an r into a moon cushion, from which from whom a white five pronged verge emerges, marked by a hum at its center.
From the home light shines forth and the two purposes are accomplished. The light returns and transforms into white Vajrasattva with one face and two hands holding vajra and bell. Seated in the vajra position, he embraces his consort, the white vajra Prabhavati who has one face and two hands holding curved knife and skull cup. Both are adorned with silks and various precious ornaments. At their crown is an om, at their throat an ah, and at their heart a hum.
On the moon disc at his heart stands a syllable hum encircled by the hundred syllable mantra. The request, oh Bhagawan, Vajrasattva, please clear away all negative karma and obscurations myself and all living beings and purify all degenerated and broken commitments. Having been thus requested, light shines forth in the home and the mantra rosary in Vajrasattva’s heart, completely completing the two purposes, purifying the negative karma and obscurations of all living beings and presenting offerings to Buddhas and their children. All the enlightened qualities of their body, speech, and mind collect in the form of light and dissolve into the mantra rosary and home. Thereby a stream of white nectar flows down from these, entering the crown of my head and filling my whole body, cleansing completely all my negative karma and obscurations of body, speech, and mind.
Prayer. Through ignorance and delusion, I have broken and generated my commitments. O spiritual master, be my protector and refuge. Lord, hold of the vajra, endow with great compassion. In you, the foremost of beings, I take refuge.
Then vajra supper applies, o child of the family, your negative karma obscurations and all broken and degenerates commitments are now cleansed and purified. After saying this, he dissolves into me and my three doors become inseparable from vital sufferers, holy body, speech, and mind. Through the merits of these virtuous actions, may I quickly attain a state of vajra’s supper and lead all living beings without exception into that same enlightened state. One omen, omen, So do the extensive rejoicing practice. So each time I rejoice, cut the sky as a mat.
So first of all, we’re chasing one’s own merit, thinking without merit, there’s no happiness, there’s no success, there’s nothing you can do in your life completely stuck. Cannot achieve realizations, cannot even achieve moment to moment happiness in this life. Therefore, every single mind, every single virtue that I can accumulate is most precious. Think I’ve collected so much merit in the past. All of this is so precious.
I’m collecting so much merit now. This is so precious. And I have skies of opportunity in the future to accumulate merit. This is so precious. Then in one’s heart, over and over again generating a thought, how precious, how wonderful, how happy I am, how precious all this virtuous, all this mat, how precious, how virtuous, how precious.
To how quickly we achieve enlightenment depends on how quickly we’re able to accumulate the extensive merit for this to happen. Therefore, every single virtue, single merit we accumulate is bringing us closer to that point where we can bring infinite happiness to numberless beings. Therefore, every single virtue is the most precious. How wonderful it is. How precious.
All this virtue have accumulated am accumulating and will. How precious. Next is rejoicing the virtue of other sentient beings. So thinking what sentient beings want is happiness, what they don’t want is suffering. The cause of happiness is the virtue they accumulate, the merit they accumulate.
Therefore, every single virtue accumulated by others is so precious. This is a source of all goodness and happiness in this world. This is what brings sentient beings to happiness, from happiness to happiness up to enlightenment, the virtue, the merit. Sentient beings accumulated so much merit in the past. They’re accumulating so much now and they will accumulate in the future up to enlightenment.
How wonderful it is that they that they collect so much merit in three times. How precious. How wonderful. So like an electricity generator over and over again thinking how precious. How precious the virtues and mad accumulated by others.
How wonderful. How precious. The most important thing in the world. The rejoicing the vajrayana body suffers. So there are numberless body suffers who’ve generated bodhicitta in their minds.
From that moment, their precious bodhicitta rises, every single action they do, every single breath is for others. Therefore, they continually accumulating limitless merit and they use this merit for us. They dedicate us sentient beings. They use it to benefit us. About how wonderful it is, the numberless body surface, all the merit they’ve accumulated in the past, all the virtues they’re accumulating now and and all the virtue and merit they will accumulate in the future.
How wonderful it is, how precious. The feeling happiness in the heart over and over again, this is rejoicing. So this one, you can also use your mala and just repeat over and over again. How wonderful, how precious. Then make the prayer, may I become like this.
Like all these body suppers, may I become like this. They rejoice in the virtue in Buddhas. So the Buddhas wants ordinary beings just like ourselves having delusions, having negative karmas, mind completely obscured. But then through the force of the practice by generating mind of enlightenment by undergoing so much hardship, just like Guru Shakti and Nirbhuta spend three karmas, great aeons, practicing the parameters, sacrificing over and over again, then achieving enlightenment, revealing the eighty four thousand teachings to liberate us from saṃsāra. So thinking all the qualities of the Buddhas, all the qualities Buddhas achieved, think how wonderful, how precious.
How wonderful, how precious. There are countless Buddhas in the past, countless Buddhas now. There will be countless Buddhas in the future. They’re rejoicing. Rejoicing in all their qualities and activities, inconceivable qualities and activities in Buddhas.
How wonderful, how precious. Rejoice in activities of Buddha’s includes rejoicing activities of Linish Lamas, the LamrAtisha, all the qualities that benefit others, rejoicing the qualities and benefits of Lamasong Kapha, Melaleppa, Rejoicing in all the qualities, the Pänchen Lamas, the Dalai Lamas. Rejoicing in all the qualities of our Gurus. How wonderful, how precious. All their extensive activities to benefit others.
All their inconceivable qualities. How wonderful, how precious. May I become like this. May I be able to have all these qualities. May I become like this, able to do all the activities for sentient beings.
So here we can recite the increasing mantra again. So that the mandala that we’ve visualized becomes a numberless and offered to numberless Buddhas. So that’s page twenty eight, the offering cloud mantra that Rinpoche taught them the meaning of. May human and divine offerings actually arrange in mentally created clouds of finest mandibadra offerings fill the entire space. Conceivable servantity.
May all these offerings become just so. Special request for three great purposes. I prostrate and go for air fish, the guru, and the three precious gems. Please bless my mind. And I’m requesting you to immediately pass for all the wrong conceptions.
From incorrect devotion to the guru, I’m to solemn your view of the white, red, and dark visions that exist in my mind and the minds of all mother sentient beings. I’m requesting you to immediately generate all the right realizations from guru devotion up to enlightenment in my mind and the minds of all mother sentient beings. I’m requesting you to pacify all outer and obstacles to actionize the entire graduated path to enlightenment in my mind and the minds of all mother sentient beings. I prostrate and go for a fish to the guru and the three precious jams. Please bless my mind.
I’m requesting you to immediately pass for all the wrong conceptions. From incorrect devotion to the guru, I’m to subtle your view of the white, red, and dark visions that exist in my mind and the mind to all monocentient beings. I’m requesting you to majorly generate all the right realizations from guru devotion up to enlightenment in my mind and the mind to all monocentient beings. I’m requesting you to pass for all out and in obstacles to actualize the entire graduated path to enlightenment in my mind and the minds of all mother sentient beings. I prostrate and go for refuge, the guru, and the three precious gems.
Please bless my mind. I’m requesting you to immediately pass for all the wrong conceptions from incorrect devotion to the guru up to subtle dual view of the white, red, and dark visions that exist in my mind and the mind of all mother sentient beings. I’m requesting you to immediately generate all the right realizations from guru devotion up to enlightenment in my mind and the minds of all mother sentient beings. I’m requesting you to pass by all outer and inner obstacles to actualize the entire graduated path to enlightenment in my mind and in the minds, all mother sentient beings. So at this point then, you make you offer a mandala.
As many gurus as you have, then they’re visualized in the merit field. And you offer mandala to each one making special requests. So if we don’t have time here to do that, then we just do three times. So the first time we offer the mandala, you’ll see in the italics below, the first time we offer to Thandrushta Lama, Tensingyatsola. The second time to Rinpoche, Lama Soppala.

I request the precious Guru encompasses all objects of refuge, the past, present, and future. Please bless my mental continuum. I request the precious guru encompasses all objects of refuge of the past, present, and future. Please bless my mental continuum. I request the precious guru who encompasses all objects of refuge of the past, present, and future.
Please bless my mental continuum. So visualized like this. Five colored neta beams flow forth from the guru’s holy body, entering my body and mind and those of all sentient beings. These purify all diseases, spread harms, negative karmas, and obscurations, especially all the collections of obscurations, negative karmas, and degenerated samayas created in relationship to the holy virtuous friend, such as giving harm to the holy body, breaking advice, disturbing the holy mind, generating undevotional thoughts, criticizing without devotion, giving up the guru, and so forth. From all my doors, sense organs and pores, these are dispelled in the form of liquid smoke or black soot.
They are completely purified. My body becomes a nature of light, calm, and clear. My life, fortune, merit, and all my qualities of understanding and realizations are fully developed. The blessings of the guru’s holy body, holy speech, and holy mind enter my body, speech, and mind and those of all sentient beings. I and all sentient beings are now under the protection of the holy virtuous friend.
So now I do the request to the linenge mamas of the Mahāmudrā. So this is on a separate sheet. So in the Guru Puja Marath field, the Mahāmudrā lineage coming from Amandjeshri is behind Lohsuntha Wandoduchi Cham. Then as you recite, be aware that each lineage lama is the embodiment of your own root guru taking this form.

Please grant me blessings to see the guru as Buddha, to have aversion to Samsāra, to take upon myself full responsibility for liberating all transmigratory beings, and to quickly achieve the common path, and particularly the glorified unification Mahāmudrā.
Please bless my body in you, the father’s holy body, my speech in you, the father’s holy speech, my mind in you, the father’s holy mind, to quickly become inseparable. So then the verse is describing the qualities by making requests to the guru, page sixty nine. So then we pause after the fourth and the fifth and the sixth verse to reflect on the meaning of these verses. Source of virtue, great ocean of marauder’s fame, treasury brimming with jewels, much hearing, master, second Buddha, clad and saffron, elder, vernacular holder, I make request to you. You have the ten qualities suitable for one to teach the path of those gone to bliss.
Lord of Dharma, representing all conquerors. Mahāyāna guru, I make request to you. You are wise, patient, honest, without pretense or guile. Your three doors well subdued. You have both sense of ten qualities, no tension rituals, and are skilled in drawing and explaining.
Foremost vajra holder, I make request to you. To those untamed by countless passbooters, the unruly, my greatest of this degenerate age who are difficult to subdue, you show unmistaken me the good way of those gone to bliss. Compassionate refuge savior, I make request to you. Is this reflecting? They’ve known countless countless Buddhas have come in the past and liberated number of sentient beings and yet we were left out.
Either we failed to meet them or we failed to complete the advice. We failed to accomplish the practice. So now in this degenerate time, when things are most difficult, things are most difficult to subdue, At this time, all the Buddhas are appearing to us in the form of Anguras. Therefore, these present gurus from whom we receive guidance and instruction are more precious than all the numberless past buddhas, more kind to us than all of these. Generating that awareness in one’s heart, the kindness and the preciousness of the guru.
At this time, when the sunlight teachings are sage setting, you enact the deeds of a conqueror for the many beings who lack a savior refuge. Compassionate refuge savior, I make request to you. So as the teachings of Buddha and the time for the existence of these teachings running out and times becoming more and more degenerate, and more difficult to subdue, And this will this will continue, this will get worse and worse. But at this time, we have the good fortune to meet with perfect complete teachings of the Buddha, especially Lamasongkappa, stainless sūtra and tantra teachings. Why?
Due to the kindness, to the preciousness of having met with perfect gurus. So again, in one’s heart, generating the thought of how precious and kind our gurus are. And making request. Even one of your hair paws is for us, a field of merit more highly praised than all the conquerors of three times in ten directions. Compassionate refuge savior, I make requests to you.
So the guru is described as the shrine or the altar of all the buddhas. So any offering made to the guru is covenant is actually more powerful than offering to number of buddhas to all the buddhas. The guru for us is all the Buddhas. Not just the guru, but even the paws of the guru, the disciples. Why?
Because by making offerings and doing practices in relation to the holy virtuous friend, by receiving the advice and completing the advice, with each practice it gets done, each offering, each advice, we come close to enlightenment. Then again, generating the thought how precious and how kind the guru is and making requests for blessings. The dome of the suggadas, three bodies, you manifest from the alluring nadascrapal means. In ordinary form to lead all beings, compassionate refuge savior, I make request to you. Your aggregates, elements, sense bases, limbs are in nature the sugardas and consorts of five families, body sufferers and wrathful protectors.
Supreme guru, essence of Three Jewels, I make request to you. Arising from the play pristine awareness, you are the essence of ten million mandala cycles, pervading lord of a hundred Buddha families, foremost vajra holder, unified primordial savior, I make request to you. Unobscured, inseparable from the play of simultaneous bliss, pervading everything in motion and at rest, the nature of all things free from beginning or end. Sumant Bhadra, actual ultimate bodhicitta, I make request to you. You are my gurus.
You are my yadams. You are the dakinis and Dharma protectors. From now until enlightenment, shall seek no other refuge than you. In this life, the bhadha and all future lives, hold me with your hook of compassion. Free me from saṃsāra nirvana’s fears.
Grant all attainments. Be my constant friend and guard me from interferences. You are my gurus. You are my yidams. You are the dhikkhinis and Dharma protectors.
From now until enlightenment, I shall seek no other refuge than you. In this life, the bardo and all future lies, hold me with your hook of compassion. Free me from saṃsāra nirvana’s fears. Grant all attainments. Be my constant friend, and guard me from interferences.
You are my gurus. You are my gidams. You are the dakinis and Dharma protectors. From now until enlightenment, I shall seek no other refuge than you. In this sight, the body and all future lives, hold me with your hook of compassion.
Free me from saṃsāra nirvana’s fears. Grant all attainments. Be my constant friend and guard me from interferences. By the force of having thus requested three times, nectar and light rays, white, red, and dark blue, stream forth from the places of my guru’s holy body, speech, and mind, and dissolve into my own three places, one by one and altogether. The four obstacles are purged.
The four pure empowerments and seeds, the four kayas are received. A replica of the guru happily dissolves into me, and I am blessed with inspiration. Then the Namrang Pran, beginning with the Songruta Vishnu. Through the power of having made offerings and respectful requests to you, holy and venerable gurus, supreme field of merit, I seek your blessing, saviors, rooted well-being and bliss, that I may come under your joyful care. Also here Rimshi asks us to pause and just reflect, meditate for a few moments on the subject of guru devotion.
According to what Rimshi has taught so far, then thinking over this quotation that the power of devotion that even the disciple is as foolish as a dog or a pig, but if they have devotion in their minds, there is no problem to become like Mañjuśrī. Even without having studied much, but through the power of devotion, the purification is so intense, accumulation is so intense, the disciple gains realization. Remember the story about Babankaramashe’s attendant who couldn’t read but was predicted by Babankaramshed that in the future he will be able to read the Guru Puja without anybody teaching. And then in Bhakkad one day he was able to read the entire thing. As Ramesh said, according to Western understanding, this cannot be explained.
Remember the story of the Nenish lamas who served the gurus with great devotion, so Sakipandita who served his uncle, Drappagyatthana, with so much devotion when he was sick that his uncle gave him the guru yoga practice manjushri. And by doing that, he was able to see his uncle’s actual Mañjuśrī due to his service. Remember the story of Geshe Chinua’s disciple, Chiyoah, who even if he was writing, even before he’d finished the letter he was writing when his guru called, he would immediately run to serve him. Even if he was in the middle of offering a mandala, he would immediately stop and run to serve the guru. And then one day when cleaning the guru’s room, taking the dust out on his robe as he walked down the steps, suddenly his mind was blessed and he was able to see numberless Buddhas right there through the force intense purification from his devotion.
So remembering the power, the fully confined guru, and the power of intense devotion which brings the greatest purification accumulation merits. I request all the gurus in the Guru Pojan Marat field that we may happily come under their care. There was site, the Guru Devotional Nine Attitudes, page seventy six. I’m requesting the kind Lord, root Guru, who is more extraordinary than all the Buddhas. Please bless me to be able to devote myself to the qualified Lord Guru with great respect in all my future lifetimes.
By realizing that correctly devoting myself to the kind Lord or Guru, who is the foundation of all good qualities, is the root of happiness and goodness, I shall devote myself to him with great respect, not forsaking him even at the cost of my life. Thinking of the importance of qualifying guru, may I allow myself to enter under his control? May I be like an obedient child, acting exactly in accordance with the guru’s advice. Even when Mara’s evil friends and the like try to split me from the guru, may I be like a vajra inseparable forever? When the guru gives me work, whatever the burden, may I be like the earth carrying all.
When I devote myself to the guru, whatever suffering occurs, may I be like a mountain immovable. Even if I have to perform all the difficult tasks, may I be like a servant to the king with a mind undisturbed? May I abandon pride, holding myself lower than the guru? May I be like a sweeper. May I be like a robe joyfully holding the guru’s work no matter how difficult or heavy a burden.
Even when the guru criticizes, provokes, or ignores me, may I be like a dog without anger, never responding with anger? May I be like a ferryboat, never upset at any time to come and go for the guru? Oh, glorious and precious root guru, please bless me to be able to practice in this way. From now on in all my future lifetimes, may I be able to devote myself to the guru in this way. Seventy nine.
Realizing how this body of liberty and endowments is found but once is difficult to obtain as easy last. I seek your blessings to partake this essence, make it worthwhile, and not be distracted by the meaningless fares this night. And cast to the searing blaze of suffering in the lower realms, I took half own refuge in three precious gems, and seek your blessings that I may eagerly endeavor to practice the various means for abandoning what is bound to misfortune and accumulating virtuous deeds. Violently tossed in its waves, delusion, and karma, plagued by whores of watery denizens of three kinds of suffering. I seek your blessings to develop an intense longing to be free from this monstrous ocean of boundless and vicious existence.
Having abandoned the mind that views this unbearable prison of psychic assistance as a pleasure grow, I seek your blessings to partake of the treasure of Ārya’s jewels by practicing with three higher trainings, thereby to uphold liberation’s banner. Having considered how all these pitiful beings have been my mothers and have raised me in kindness again and again. I seek your blessings to develop an authentic compassion like that of a loving mother for a precious child. So first of all, equanimity, equalizing friend and a stranger. Remembering how one said beginningless lives in saṃsāra.
And throughout these beginningless lives, every single sentient being at some point has been one’s mother and not just once but numberless times. And seeing all sentient beings as having been mother. Remembering the kindness of the mother and this present life mother gave human body, prantasthama, led into the ways this world, protected our life from danger countless ways, and bore numberless sufferings for us. The same way this present mother has been kind, every single sentient being when they were mother were kind to us in numberless ways. Feel the kindness in your heart and see others with the eyes of love.
Wishing to repay the kindness, wishing all beings the happiness. Not just wishing but also taking responsibility that every living being find happiness, perfect happiness. Then realizing the depth of suffering of all the numberless beings generating the thought of compassion, great compassion. I myself will free all beings from their suffering. Taking personal responsibility to free each and every sentient being from suffering And looking to see how this is possible, the only way is by oneself first of all eliminating all the cause of suffering from one’s own mind and perfecting all the qualities, which means becoming enlightened.
Therefore, I must achieve enlightenment in order to benefit all sentient beings generating this mind of bodhicitta. There is no difference between myself and others. None of us wishes even the slightest of sufferings or is ever content with the happiness we have. Realizing this, I seek your blessings that I may enhance the bliss and joy of others. This chronic disease of cherishing myself is a cause giving rise to my unsought suffering.
Perceiving this, I seek your blessings to blame, begrudge, and destroy the monstrous demon of selfishness. The mind that cherishes all mother beings must secure them and bless. It’s a gateway leading to infinite virtue. Seeing this, I seek your blessings to cherish these beings more than my life, even should they rise up as my enemies. In brief, infantile beings live only for their own ends, while Buddhas work solely for the welfare of others, with the mind understanding distinctions between the failings of one and the advantage of the other.
I seek your blessings to enable me to equalize and exchange myself with others. Since cherishing myself is a doorway to all torment, while cherishing my mother’s foundation for all that is good, I seek your blessings to make my core practice the yoga of exchanging self for others. The eight verses. Determined to obtain the greatest possible benefit from all sentient beings who are more precious and a wishful fitting jewel. I shall hold them most dear at all times.
So I’m trying to generate the mind into the meaning of each verse. When in the company of others, I should always consider myself the lowest of all, and from the depths of my heart hold others dear and supreme. Vigilant, the moment delusion appears in my mind, endangering myself and others, I shall confront and avert it without delay. Whenever I see beings who are wicked in nature and overwhelmed by violent negative actions and suffering, I shall hold such rare ones dear as if I had found a precious treasure. Where now to then be others mistreat me with abuse, insults, or the like, I should accept defeat and offer the victory to others.
When someone whom I have benefited and in whom I have great hopes gives me terrible harm, I should regard that person as my holy guru. In short, both directly and indirectly, do I offer every happiness and benefit all my mothers? I shall secretly take upon myself all their harmful actions and suffering. Undefiled by the stains of superstitions, the eight worldly concerns, may I, by perceiving all phenomena as illusory, be released in the bondage of attachment. Page eighty seven, Tonglen.
And thus, venerable, compassionate Gurus, I seek your blessings that all come in deaths, obstacles, and sufferings of mother beings. May without exception ripen upon me right now, and that I may give my happiness and virtue to others, and thereby invest all beings and bless. And thus, venerable, compassionate gurus, I seek your blessings at all coming deaths, obstacles, and sufferings of mother beings. May without exception ripen upon me right now, and that I may give my happiness and virtue to others, and thereby invest all beings in bliss. And thus, venerable, compassionate gurus, I seek your blessings that all come in death, obstacles, and sufferings from other beings.
May without exception ripen upon me right now, and that I may give my happiness and virtue to others, and thereby invest all beings in bliss. Should even my environment and the beings therein be filled with the fruits and negative actions, and on wish for sufferings pour down on me like rain, I seek your blessings to take these miserable conditions as a path by seeing them as causes to exhaust results, my negative karma. In short, no matter what appearances arise, be they good or bad, I seek your blessings to transform them into a path of enhancing the two bodhicittas, through the practice of five forces contestants of the entire Dharma, and thus to enjoy solely your blissful mind. Whatever I occasion to meet, I seek your blessings that I may adapt it to my meditation by a skillful means of four applications. May I render this life of liberties and endowments infinitely meaningful by practicing the advice and commitments of thought training.
In order to rescue all beings and the vast seas of existence, I seek your blessings to become adept in bodhicitta through a pure selfless wish, as well as by love and compassion conjoin with the visual technique of mounting giving and taking upon the breath. I seek your blessings that I may eagerly endeavor to put into practice the three Mahāyāna moral codes and to restrain my mind stream with pure bodhisattva vows, the single path journeyed by all victorious ones the three times. I seek your blessings to complete perfection and generosity through the guideline teaching of enhancing the mind that gives without attachment, namely transforming my body, wealth, and collection of virtues over the three times into the objects desired by each and every sentient being. I seek your blessings to complete perfection and moral discipline, working for the sake of sentient beings, enacting virtuous deeds, and not transgressing the bounds of Pradimoksha, Voidicitta, and Tantric vows even at the cost of my life. Should even the myriad beings of three realms without exception become angry at me, humiliate, criticize, threaten, or even kill me, seek your blessings to complete the perfection of patience, not to be distraught, but to work for their benefit in response to their harm.
Even if I must remain for an ocean of aliens in the fiery hells of Vici, for the sake of even just one sentient being. I seek your blessings to complete perfection of joy and effort. Strive with compassion for supreme enlightenment and not be discouraged. Having abandoned the false sadomas, agitation, and mental wandering, I seek your blessings to complete perfection meditative concentration through a summative single point of placement upon the nature of reality, which is that all things avoid or tracelessness. I seek your blessings to complete perfection of wisdom through space like yoga of single-minded placement for an ultimate truth, conjoined with tranquility and great bliss induced by discriminating wisdom, analyzing suchness.
I seek your blessings to perfect the on illusion by realizing how all outer and inner phenomena like true existence would still appear, like a mirage, a dream, or the moon’s image in a still lake. Samsāra, nirvana, like even an astral true existence, while cause and effect and dependent arising are infallible. I seek your blessing to discern the import and agitation of thought, that these two are complementary and not contradictory. And thereupon I seek your blessings that I may cross the ocean of tantra through the kindness of my navigator, vajradhara, by holding my vows and words of honor, the roots of all powerful attainments more dear than my life. I seek your blessings to cleanse all stains of ordinary appearance and grasping through the first stage yoga of transforming birth, death, and the bardo into three bodies of Buddha, so whatever appears may arise to deity.
And seek your blessings to ancienize in this life the path of unity of clear light and the illusory body that arises from placing your feet, my protector, and the eight petals of my heart, the very center of my central channel. Should I not have completed the points of the path at time of death, I seek your blessings that I may be led to a pure land, either through the instructions applying the five forces or by the forceful means to enlightenment the guru’s transference of mind. In short, I seek your blessings, my savior, be cared for by you from birth and remitting me throughout all my lives, and thus to become your chief disciple holding every secret of your body, speech, and mind. Savior, please grant all of your auspicious to me to be foremost amongst your very first circle of disciples wherever you manifest Buddhahood so that all my temporal and ultimate wishes without exception may be effortlessly and spontaneously fulfilled. So here the a merit field absorbs, becomes Śākyamūni Buddha, comes to crown in one’s head, and we make request to the guru inseparable from the Buddhas, The very exalted four bodies, Lama, supreme deity, to the mighty one, vajradhara, I make request.

And by the sweet and nice taste of your holy speech be forever satisfied. As spiritual masters, yidams, and protectors, bless us and help us and may accomplish the ultimate meaning of life. In our striving and listening, reflecting, and meditating as much as we are able, that we may quickly usher in a golden age, that all the while may always remember from the depths of our hearts the loving kindness of our precious summer. So those those people who didn’t take initiation, can you please leave now? People who didn’t receive highest yoga tension initiation, can you please leave now?
People who did, we’re going to just recite the succession guru yoga, the long succession guru yoga two times to complete our commitment this morning. People who who haven’t taken the highest yoga at all, if you’ve taken another higher yoga tantra you can stay. Just those who haven’t received higher yoga tantra. So then the fourth six-session Guru Yoga in six in the practice of six-session Guru Yoga book, page six. So first of all, visualizing as of the extensive merit field of Gurukshakmanipuran center, either visualizing extensively or simply visualizing the lama and the aspect of Guru Shakti Meeni Buddha encompassing all objects of refuge.
And the presence of the merit field, inseparable from one’s own holy root guru, how we take refuge. I go for refuge until I’m enlightened to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the highest assembly. In the virtuous merit that I collect by practicing giving and other perfections, may I attain the state of the Buddha to be able to benefit all sentient beings. I go for refuge until I am enlightened to the Buddha, the Dharma, the highest assembly. In the virtuous merit that I collect by practising giving and other perfections, may I attain the state of the Buddha to be able to benefit all sentient beings, and go for refuge until I am enlightened to the Buddha, the Dharma and the highest assembly.
In the virtuous merit that I collect by practising giving and other perfections, may attain the state of the Buddha in order to benefit all sentient beings. Four immeasurables. May all sentient beings be parted from aversion and clinging, feeling close to some and distant from others. May they win the bliss that is especially sublime. May they find release from the ocean of unbearable sorrow, and may they never be parted from freedom’s true joy.
Taking the bodhisattva wishing vow, from this moment on until I am a buddha, may I never give up though my life be at stake, the attitude wishing to gain full enlightenment in order to free from the fears of saṃsāra, nirvana’s complacency, all sentient beings. So think I’ve received the wishing vow. Taking the bodhisattva entering vow, the presence of all the buddhas and bodhisattvas. So imagine repeating these words after them. All Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and gurus, please listen to what I now say from the depths of my heart.
Just as all Buddhas of the past have developed the thought of enlightenment, true bodhicitta, then practice the stages of greater development following the trainings of all Buddha’s children. So may I too, for the sake of all beings, develop bodhicitta and follow the trainings exactly as all bodhisattvas have done. O bodhisattvas and gurus, please listen to what I now say from the depths of my heart. Just as all Buddhas of the past have developed the thought of enlightenment, true bodhicitta, then practice this stage of greater development following the trainings of all Buddha’s children. So may I too, for the sake of all beings, develop bodhicitta and follow the trainings exactly as all bodhisattvas have done.
O Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Gurus, please listen to what I now say from the depths of my heart. Just as all Buddhas of the past have developed the thought of enlightenment of true bodhicitta, then press this stage of greater development following the trainings of all Buddhist children. So may I too, for the sake of all beings, develop bodhicitta and follow the trainings exactly as all bodhisattvas have done. So think, have received pure bodhisattva entering vows and meditating on happiness, rejoicing. At this moment, my life has become truly fruitful.
For having attained an endowed human body, today I’ve developed the true Buddha essence, bodhicitta, and thus have become Buddha’s child. Then meditating on carefulness. Applying now any skilled means whatsoever, may I always accord what I do with this essence and follow the actions of all Buddha’s children? May I never confuse with this pure, faultless essence any teachings that lack this enlightenment thought? So think the Merrittfield is extremely pleased, absorb into mind, absorb to oneself, and then again, meditate on emptiness and arising as a deity.
In the space in front of oneself, generate the generating the matte field of the lama in the aspect of vajradhara. In the sky before me on a breathtaking throne of jewels, on a mandala seed of a lotus sun and full moon, sits my root guru all pervading vajradhara with a blue colored body, one face and two arms, holding vajram bell and embracing his don’t main set of duplicate consort, the mother similar to himself. So she say, mother similar to himself. And embracing the mother similar to himself, he shines resplendent with all the marks of Buddha, adorned with many dazzling jeweled ornaments, draped with fine garments of enchanting heavenly scarves. Even the mere remembrance of him dispels all my torment.
With the nature encompassing every supreme refuge, he sits cross legged in the vajra position, the three spots of his body marked with three letters. Light beams forth from the home of his heart and invokes Guru vajradhara from his actual abode. Zawamambo. They merge to become nondual. Done that prostration.
I bow at your lotus feet on my jewel like guru vajradhara. Your kindness heralds an instantaneous door and a great bless. Then the eight line praise. So vajradhara transforms into father and mother. This is a commitment of mother tantra.
Oh, my prostrate, the Bhagawan, lord of the brave ones, home, home, pay. Home to you whose brilliance equals the file that ends a great aeon, home, home, pay. Hom to you, have an insourceful crowning top knot. Hom, hom, pay. Hom to you with bared fangs and a ruffled face.
Hom, hom, pay. Hom to you, a thousand arms blazed with light. Hom, hom, pay. Home. Home.
Home. Home. Home. Home. Home.
Home. Om. Om. Om to the queen and the female aria practitioners invincible in three realms. Om.
Om. Om to you who destroy all fears and evil spirits with your great diamond like means. Om to you whose eyes empower those who sit on the diamond throne not to be conquered by anyone. Om to you whose wrathful body of psychic heat can desecate Brahma. Om to you who terrify and drive the demons and thus can vanquish all other forces.
Om to you who triumph over all that can make you ill tempered, excited, or stupefied. All the things I possess and what is not mine, what is actually placed here and what I mentally create, I present you an ocean like cloud of these various offerings, outer, inner, and secret. The bodies feature mind of myself and others, our wealth as well as our virtues amassed in the past, present, and future. An excellent jewel of mandala together with the mass of Samantabhādra’s offerings. I envision these all and present them to you, o my guru, my yidam, and three precious gems.
Accepting these in your compassion, bestow me ways of your blessings. Making requests, oh, guru. I humbly beseech you, my precious guru, just as the Buddha’s, the three times in ten directions of tame sentient beings, you to enact the Buddha’s deeds in countless realms, taking the form of a saffron robed monk. I humbly beseech you, my precious guru, steamed by vajradhara for those meager of mind, as a field of myrrh more holy than the endless circles of infinite Buddhas. Every supreme and mundane attainment follows upon pure devotion to you, my protector.
Seeing this, I forsake my body and even my life. Bless me to practice what will only please you. So now turn back again to a one, the refuge prayer. I go for refuge until I’m enlightened to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the highest assembly. In the virtuous merit that I can live by practicing giving in other perfections, may I attain the state of a Buddha to be able to benefit all sentient beings.
May all sentient beings be parted from aversion and clinging, feeling close to some and distant from others. May they win the bliss that is especially sublime. May they find release in the ocean of unbearable sorrow, and may they never be parted from freedom’s true joy. From this moment on until I am a Buddha, may I never give up, though my life be at stake. The attitude wishing to gain full enlightenment in order to free from the fears of saṃsāra and avantas complacency, all sentient beings.
All Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and gurus, please listen to what I now say from the depths of my heart. Just as all Buddhas of the past have developed the thought of enlightenment, true bodhicitta, then practice the stage of greater development following the trainings for all Buddha’s children. So may I too, for the sake of beings, develop bodhicitta and follow the trainings exactly as all bodhisattvas have done. At this moment, my life has become truly fruitful. For having attained an endowed human body, today, I’ve developed the true Buddha essence, bodhicitta, and thus have become Buddha’s child.
Applying now any skilled means whatsoever, may I always accord what I do with the assassins and follow the actions of all Buddha’s children. May I never confuse with pure fall assassins any teachings that lack this enlightenment thought? Then the prostration, a eight. I bow at your lotus feet on my jewel like guru, vajradhara. Your kindness heralds an instantaneous dawn of great bliss.
Then the offering, a a ten, outer inner secret and mandala offering. All the things I possess and what is not mine, what is actually placed here and what I mentally create, I present you a notion I cloud of these various offerings outer, inner, and secret. The body’s teaching mind and myself and others, our wealth, as well as our virtues of mass in the past, present, and future. An excellent jewel mandala together with a mass of Samanti vajra’s offerings. I envision these all and present them to you on my guru, my giddham, and the three precious gems.
Accepting these in your compassion, bestow me ways your blessings. Requesting to the guru, remembering the qualities and kindness. I humbly beseech you, my precious guru, just as the Buddha’s three times in ten directions obtained sentient beings, you to enact the Buddha’s deeds in countless realms, taking the form of a saffron road mark. I humbly beseech you, my precious guru, esteemed by vajradhara for those meager of mine. There’s a field of merit more holy than the endless circle of infinite Buddhas.
Every supreme and mundane attainment follows upon pure devotion to you, my protector. Seeing this I forsake my body and even my life. Bless me to practice what will only please you. So just doing this two times because the six-session Guru Yoga is abbreviated version Namachapa, Namachapa, Puja. So if you’re doing three times, would do one more time like that.
So carry on, b one. Requested in this way, my supreme guru comes to the crown of my head. Once more, he gladly merges with me. We become of one taste. With the pride of being vajra Sampara, I embrace my consul Bhagavati while holding a vajra and bell symbolic of the secret of great bliss simultaneous with secret avoidance free from the mental fabrications of true existence.
From this moment on, without any sense of loss, I send forth my body and likewise my wealth and my virtues amassed throughout the three times in order to help all beings, my mothers. So now enumerating the vows, first of all, bodhisattva vows. Praising myself and belittling others, not sharing my wealth in the dharma, not forgiving even if others apologise, doubting and denying the mahayana, taking offerings intended for the triple gem, abandoning the Dharma through sectarianism, disrobing monks or nuns, committing the five heinous crimes, holding distorted views, destroying places such as towns, teaching voidness to those untrained, discouraging others from full enlightenment, causing others to break Pradimoksha vows, belittling those who follow Hīnayāna, proclaiming false realizations of voidness, accepting gifts of what has been seized in the triple gem, passing false judgment, giving up bodhicitta, these the eighteen root bodhisattva downfalls, not regarding these as detrimental, not forsaking the wish to repeat such behavior, delighting and taking pleasure in them, and having no shame or consideration, are the four binding factors that must all be present, for sixteen of these to be complete. But for the other two, holding distorted views and giving up bodhicitta, these four are not needed.
I shall guard myself from all these downfalls. Enumerating the tantric vows, the root tantric vows. Despising or belittling my guru, disregarding any practice, speaking badly of my vajra brothers, abandoning love for any being, giving up wishing and entering bodhicitta, scorning the teachings of sūtra and tantra, revealing secrets to those who are unright, abusing my own aggregates, denying or doubting voidness, remaining close to malevolent people, not recollecting the view of voidness, causing someone to lose faith, not upholding my word of honor, despising woman. These are the fourteen root tantric downfalls. I should protect myself from them at the cost of my life.
I shall abandon the four basic non virtues as well as liquor and misbehavior, devote myself to a holy and protecting guru, treat my dharma friends with respect, cultivate the ten virtuous actions, never withdraw from the Mahāyāna, avoid walking over showing disrespect to a sacred object. All these additional pledges I shall honor. Relying upon an unqualified consort, sitting in union without the three recognitions, showing secret substances to an unsuitable vessel, fighting or arguing in offering ceremony, giving false answers to sincerely asked questions, staying more than a week in the home of a Srivanka, boasting that I am a yogi although I am not, teaching the sacred Dharma to those who know faith, conferring mandala rights without full preparation, needless he breaking the pranamaksha and bodhichitt’s vows, anting in contradiction to the teachings of fifty verses of Guru devotion. These are secondary tantric transgressions. I shall guard myself from them in accordance with the rules.
So no particular pledges for the mother tantra. I shall perform all actions first to my left, make offerings to women and never abuse them, Reject sitting in union with an unqualified consort. While in union, never be parted from the view of voidness. Renendlessly aspire to the path of transforming attachment. Never forsake the two kinds of mudra.
Strive mainly for the outer and inner methods. Never release seminal fluid. Remain chaste in my behavior, and abandon repulsion when tasting bodhicitta. Then promising to keep the vows. I shall never transgress even in my dreams, most minor rule of the pure moral training of the pratyamunksham, bodhicitta, and vajrayana vows.
I shall practice according to the Buddha’s words. As Buddha intended, I shall uphold the complete sacred Dharma of insight and scriptures as gathered together in the three types of vehicle in the four tantric classes. I shall liberate all beings by whichever means is suited to each. And turn back to be one. Requested in this way, my supreme guru comes the crown of my head.
Once more, he gladly merges with me. We become of one taste. With the pride of being Vajrasattva, I embrace my consul, Bhagavati, while holding a vajra and bell symbolic of the secret of great bliss, simultaneous with the secret of voidness, free from the mental fabrication of true existence. From this moment on, without any sense of loss, I send forth my body and likewise, my wealth and my virtues amass throughout the three times in order to help all beings, my mothers. And b eleven, page twelve, promising to keep the vows.
I shall never transgress even in my dreams most minor rule of the pure moral training. The Pradimoksha, bodhicitta, and vajrayana vows. I shall practice according to the Buddha’s words. As Buddha intended, I shall uphold the complete sacred Dharma of insight and scriptures as gathered together in three types of vehicle and four tantric classes. I shall liberate all beings by whichever means is suited to each.
So, again, we’re just doing it two times. If you’re doing it three times, you’ll go back and do it one more time in abbreviated way. So now, dedication prayer. Through the force of white merit from this virtuous act and by the compassion of power of vajradhara, throughout all my lives, may I never transgress any vows I’ve taken, May I complete the stages of twofold path? In brief, may I be born in Shambal, the great jewel treasury, and complete there the stage, the peerless path, and as quick a time as the amount of white merit I’ve gathered from this virtuous practice.
Throughout all my lives, my never be parted from perfect gurus. By making good use of the glorious Dharma, fulfill the good features of the stage and past, my quickly achieve Vashadhara’s enlightenment. So that’s the that’s the simplest form of the succession guru yoga. SurvEvamji has some elaboration, he suggested to the simplest form. Then the dedication sheet, the separate white sheet of dedication prayers at the end of each session.
So that completes two times succession Guru Yoga and Namachipa. That completes the commitment for this morning. Due to the merits of three times collected by me, Buddha’s, Bodhisattvas and all other sentient beings, may embody Cheetah cherishing others, letting go of oneself, letting go of the I, which is the source of all the happiness and success myself and all other sentient beings, be generated within my own mind to the minds of all sentient beings without even a second’s delay. May that which has already been generated increase. Due to the mercy three times pledited by me, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and all other sentient beings, may all the father, mother, sentient beings of happiness, may the three lower realms be empty forever.
May all bodhisattvas prayers succeed immediately, and may I be able to cause all this to happen by myself alone. Due to the mercy three times collected by me, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and all other sentient beings, may His Holiness and Dalai Lama, the Buddha of compassion, and all other holy beings, all our virtuous friends have stabilized, may all the holy wishes succeed immediately. Due to the merits of three times created by me, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, all other sentient beings, may I be able to offer skies of benefit to all sentient beings as Lama Tsongkhapa did, by having within me the same qualities that Lama Tsongkhapa had from now on in all my future lifetimes. Juice and rest are three times created by me, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, all other sentient beings, which are totally nonexistent from their own side. May the I, which is also totally non existent from its own side, achieve Guru Śākyamūni Buddha’s enlightenment, is also totally non existent from its own side, And lead all sentient beings who are totally nonexistent from their own side.
To that enlightenment which is totally nonexistent from its own side by myself alone, who is also totally nonexistent from its own side. I dedicate all my merits in a way greatly admired by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas the three times and realized by SamanTibetra and Mañjuśrī. May I be able to completely actualize Lama Tsongkhapa’s teaching which unifies Sūtra and Tantra within my mind and spread these teachings in the minds of all sentient beings. Thus, may Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings flourish forever. Prayer to be recited after the second session.
Due to the merits of three times created by me, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, all other sentient beings, May I, the members of my family, all the students and benefactors, this organization, and all the rest of sentient beings meet only perfectly qualified Mahāyāna Gurus in all our future lifetimes. From our side, may we see them only as enlightened beings. May we do only actions most pleasing to the holy minds, the virtuous friends. May we be able to fulfill all their holy wishes immediately. So then the final thing is the increasing mantras, is at the back of the dedication prayer section.
So back of the dedication prayer section on page thirty four, the multiplying mantras. So this morning we’ve managed to complete all the prayers exactly in accordance with Rinpoche’s holy wishes. Sir, can rejoice. Then when you recite the multiplying mantras, the way that Rumshendra recites is as follows. He recites the first two one time each and then the third one he recites seven times but without the Om.
So he recites Thayatapanthusanjuru Ombodhisur. So that Om, you can just put a circle around it. Rinpoche doesn’t recite that. And then the fourth mantra, Rinpoche recites three times but he does not recite the words Tamche. So the words Tamche at the end of the second sentence.
So if you like to do this exactly the way Rinpoche does, then put a circle around the Om and put a circle around the Tamche. So Rinpoche recites Mun Nam Raptu. Okay? Sorry. Go a bit fast.
Due to the power of blessings, the eminent Buddhas and bodhisattvas, the power of the father will depend upon my pure special attitude. May all my pure prayers succeed immediately. May passifying all signs of obstacles and by flirting every single required condition, may the Dharma tradition of Dharma kings on kabba be preserved and developed. Choose the two types of merit collected over three times by myself and others. May teaching of the far famed, victorious ones, pure wisdom blaze forth.
So these last two prayers, whom she will always do at the end. Nearly always. Thank you very much. Rinpoche says he will come this afternoon. Rinpoche says he will teach most afternoons.
And he says what he will do is he will come at three. He’s planning to come at three. And he’s planning to teach and then a break and then teach and then a break and then a guided meditation session and then all the protective prayers and the dedication prayers and this prayers and that prayers, so everything else. All the wham bam, everything gets at the end. So that is the format that that Rinpoche said that he’s planning to do.
So starting at three, teaching, then a break, then teaching, then a break, then a guided meditation on what he’s taught, and then all the the remaining prayers. So exactly as we did this morning, this is how the retreat will continue. This is actually how Ramshes expressed for the mornings, this morning practice. Sometimes he will come, sometimes he won’t come. We’ll never know.
And he said most afternoons he’ll come, but some afternoons he won’t come. He’ll go downtown to visit Khensur Rinpoche. So like that. And then I’m not trying to organize anything in lunch break today. We just have a rest.
And then maybe over the next couple of days, we can make requests to some of the senior sangha to go over the six session and the Chimrezigal Gyatsu Sadhma. So thank you very much. Enjoy lunch.
