Refuge and generating the altruistic intention
I go for Refuge until I am Enlightened to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha
From the virtuous merit I collect by listening to the teachings
May I attain the state of Buddhahood
To be able to benefit all sentient beings.

GADEN LHAGYAMA ~ the Hundred Deities of the Land of Joy

From the heart of the Protector of the hundred deities of the Land of Joy,
Comes a cloud that resembles a mass of fresh white curd,
Omniscient Lobsang Dragpa, King of the Dharma,
Together with your Sons, I request you to come here now.

Oh Venerable Gurus with white smiles of delight,

Seated on lion-thrones, a lotus and a moon seat in the space before me,
I request you to remain for hundred of aeons in order to spread the teachings,
And be the supreme Field of Merit to inspire my mind with faith.

Your minds have the intellect that comprehends the full extend of what can be known.
Your speech, with its excellent explanations is the ear-ornament for those of good
fortune,
Your bodies are radiantly handsome with glory renowned
I prostrate to you, whom to behold, hear or recall is worthwhile,

Pleasing water offerings, various flowers,

Fragrant incense, light and scented water,
An ocean of real and visualized cloud-like offerings,
Both physically arranged and mentally created,
I present to you, Oh supreme Field of Merit.

Whatever non-virtues of body, speech and mind

I have accumulated from beginningless time,
And especially any transgressions of my three vows,
I confess over and again with fervent sincerity from my heart.

From the depths of our hearts we rejoice Oh Protectors,

In the great waves of your deeds,
You who strove to learn and practice in this degenerate age,
And made life meaningful by abandoning the eight worldly feelings.

Oh Holy and Venerable Lama, from the clouds of compassion

That form in the skies of your Dharmakaya wisdom,
Please release a rain of vast and profound Dharma
Precisely in accordance with the needs of those to be trained.

I dedicate whatever virtues I have ever collected

For the benefit of the teachings and of all sentient beings,
And in particular for the essential teachings
5
Of Venerable Lobsang Dragpa, to shine forever.

Amidst wondrous clouds of infinite offerings

With one face, two hands, and a radiant smile.

Surrounded by a beautiful rainbow, you sit in diamond posture
Radiant, and with every sign and mark.
Your purified aggregates are the five blissful Buddhas,

Your senses, channels, and joints are actually Bodhisattvas
The hairs of your body are twenty-one thousand Arhats,
Your limbs, the wrathful protectors,

And all worldly beings are sheltered at your feet.
You are encircled by a sea of root and lineage lamas, yidams,
Mandala deities, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, heroes, dakinis,
And Dharma protectors,
Their three doors marked by OM AH HUNG.
From HUNG, light rays invite the wisdom beings
From their natural abodes to remain inseparable.

Root and lineage lamas, yidams, Three Jewels, Buddhas,
Bodhisattvas, heroes, dakinis, and Dharma protectors.
Out of your great compassion, please come here to stay.

13. In nature, phenomenon are free of coming or going,

Yet you appear, performing deeds of perfect love and knowledge,
To suit the needs of various disciples.
Great Protector with your circle, please come here now.

47. You are the Lama, you are the Yidam,
You are the Dakini and Dharma Protector;
From now until I attain enlightenment,
I shall seek no refuge other than you.
In this life, in the bardo, and until enlightenment,
Please hold me in the hook of your compassion,
Free me from the fears of samsara and nirvana,
grant me all attainments,
Be my constant companion, and protect me from all obstacles. (3x)

The Four Initiations

48. By the force of making these requests three times,
Light rays and nectars, white, red, and cobalt blue,
Stream forth from the centers of my Lama's body, speech,
and mind.

49. One by one and all together my four obstacles are purified,
I receive the four empowerments,
And the seeds of the four Buddha bodies.
A duplicate of my Lama happily dissolves into me,
And I am blessed with inspiration.

I take heartfelt refuge in the Three Jewels.
Inspire me to intensify my efforts
To practice virtue and abandon vice.

67. Violently tossed by waves of addiction and karma,

Devoured by three sea-dragon sufferings,
Inspire me to develop the fierce determination to be free
From this endless fearsome ocean of existence.

68. Having ceased to view this unbearable prison

Of cyclic existence as a pleasure grove,
Inspire me to raise the victory banner of freedom,
By practicing the Three Higher Trainings,
The treasure of extraordinary beings.

69. Recognizing that all suffering beings are my mothers,

Who have raised me in kindness again and again,
Inspire me to develop authentic compassion,
Like a mother's love for her only child.

70. No one wants even the slightest suffering,

Or is ever content with the happiness they have;
In this we are all alike.
Inspire me to find joy in making others happy.

71. Seeing that the chronic disease of self-cherishing

Is the cause of my unwanted suffering,
Inspire me to put the blame where blame is due
And vanquish the great demon of clinging to self.

72. Cherishing beings and securing their happiness

Is the gateway that leads to infinite excellence.
Inspire me to hold others more dear than my life,
Even when I see them as enemies.

73. In short, the naive work for their aims alone;
While Buddhas work solely to benefit others.
Comparing the faults against the benefits,
Inspire me to be able to exchange myself with others.

74. Since cherishing myself is the doorway to all downfalls,

And cherishing others is the foundation of everything good,
Inspire me to practice from my heart
The yoga of exchanging self and others.

75. Therefore, supremely compassionate Lama,

Inspire me to take the bad deeds, imprints, and sufferings
Of all beings to ripen upon me right now,
And to give to them my happiness and virtue
So that all beings may be happy.

76. Even if the world and its beings,

Filled with the results of negative actions,
Pour down a rain of unwanted suffering,
Inspire me to take these miserable conditions as a path,
Knowing that this burns away my negative karma.

77. In short, whether conditions seem favorable or unfavorable,

Inspire me to make a habit of happiness,
By increasing the two types of Bodhimind
Through the practice of the five forces, essence of all the Dharmas.

78. Whatever happens, may I use meditation at once,

Applying the skillful methods of the four techniques.
Inspire me to take advantage of this fortunate life
By practicing the commitments and precepts of training the mind.

79. 'Give and Take' mounted on the breath is the magic device
Bringing love, compassion, and the special mind.
To save all beings from this world's great ocean.
Please bless me to awaken true Bodhimind.

81. Inspire me to perfect transcendent generosity,
Through improving the mind that gives without attachment,
Transforming my body, wealth, and good deeds from all time
Into whatever each being desires.

82. Inspire me to perfect transcendent moral discipline,

By keeping, even at the cost of my life,
My self-liberation, Bodhisattva, and Vajrayana vows,
And by collecting good deeds and helping others.

83. Inspire me to perfect transcendent patience,

Even if all the beings of the world
Become abusive, critical, threaten, or even kill me,
Undisturbed I will work for their benefit.

84. Inspire me to perfect transcendent joyous effort,

By striving with tireless compassion for supreme enlightenment,
Even if I must remain for many aeons
In the deepest hellfires for the sake of each being.

85. Inspire me to perfect transcendent concentration,

By abandoning mental sinking, wandering, and excitement,
And meditating in single-pointed absorption
On the true nature of reality - emptiness.

86. Inspire me to perfect transcendent wisdom,

Through practicing space yoga in equipoise on the ultimate,
Joining the bliss of supple ecstasy
With the insight that discriminates what is.

87. Inspire me to complete the perfection of illusion-like aftermath,
Realizing that inner and outer phenomena lack true existence,
Yet still appear, like an illusion, a dream,
Or the reflection of a moon on a clear lake.

88. Inspire me to understand Nagarjuna's meaning,

That there is no contradiction, but rather harmony
Between the unfailing interdependence of cause and effect
And lack of inherent existence in this world and beyond.

Vajrayana
89. Inspire me to embark on the swirling ocean of tantra
Through the kindness of my navigator, the Vajra-holder,
And to cherish more than my life
My vows and commitments, roots of my attainment

90. Inspire me to practice the first stage, the simulated yoga

That transforms birth, death, and bardo into the three
Buddha bodies,
So that when ordinary perception and conception become pure,
Whatever arises may manifest as my Yidam.

91. As you place your feet, oh Glorious Protector,

At the very center of my heart's eight petals,
Inspire me to actualize in this very life
The paths of clear light, illusion body, and their union.

92. If my death should come before I enter the path,

Bless me to reach a Pure Land
Through applying the instructions on the five powers,
The supremely powerful method of transference to Buddhahood.

93. From birth to birth, please bless me, Oh Protector,

Never to be separated from your loving care,
And, as the foremost of your disciples,
To hold every secret of your body, speech, and mind.

94. Grant me the good fortune to be the first in your circle

Wherever you manifest as a Buddha,
And to accomplish spontaneously, without effort,
All temporal and ultimate needs and wishes.

In whatever direction the most precious teachings
Have not yet spread or once spread have declined,

And the Buddhas' deeds be nourished for a long time
By following the complete graduated Path to Enlightenment and

And make things conducive for practicing the excellent paths
Never be parted in any of their lives
From the purest path praised by the Buddhas.

Inner offering (Long Form)

Everything becomes empty. Within a state of emptiness, from a YAM comes a

blue bow-shaped wind mandala marked with banners, on top of which from a
RAM comes a red triangular fire mandala. On top of that, from an AH comes a
fire-grate of three human heads, on top of which from an AH comes a white
skull-cup. Inside it, in the east from a BHRUM comes the flesh of a bull marked
with GO. In the south from an AM comes the flesh of a dog marked with a KU.
In the west from a JRIM comes the flesh of an elephant marked with a DA. In
the north from a KHAM comes the flesh of a horse marked with a HA, and in the
center, from a HUM, comes the flesh of a human marked with a NA. In the
southeast from a LAM, comes feces marked with a BI. In the southwest from a
MAM, comes blood marked with a RA. In the northwest from a PAM, comes
white bodhicitta marked with a SHU. In the northeast from a TAM, comes
marrow marked with a MA. And in the center from a BAM comes urine marked
with a MU. On top of this are a white OM, a red AH and a blue HUM stacked
one on top the other. From the HUM at my heart light rays emanate, striking the
wind, whereby the wind moves, the fire blazes and the substances inside the
skull-cup melt and boil. From the three syllables, light rays emanate
successively, pulling back the vajra-body, vajra-speech and vajra-mind, which
dissolve successively into the three syllables. These then fall into the skull-cup
and melt. By means of the HUM, our faults and impurities are cleansed. The
AH is transformed into nectar. By means of OM the nectar increases and
multiplies.

 Appendix III: Notes to text

1.
Guru Yoga is the essence of all paths, the answer to making the best
use of life. Start by generating bodhimind, taking
refuge, meditating on the four immeasurables, followed by generating
yourself in the form of either Yamantaka,
Guhyasamaja or Heruka. From the body of theYidam, light
radiates and purifies all environments and their inhabitants.
The environment becomes the mandala; its inhabitants,
gods and goddesses. So accordingly, this verse follows.

2. Inner and all other offerings should be blessed as in any

other ritual in accordance with Mahayana tantra. A shorter
way follows.

3. In actual practice, it is important to say these words clearly,

without haste, and visualize the meaning through the mind.
Concentrate and meditate on the message given by the words.

4. Here you can generate Buddha Dorje Chang as mentioned

in the text, or Yamantaka or Heruka, which should be
learned separately.

5. This is how you see the Lama inseparable from Dorje

Chang, fulfilling the demand of the fifty verses of Guru
Yoga. Aggregates, elements, etc., are generated in the form
of five Dhayani Buddhas and consorts, which fulfills the
vajra mala tantras ("In the body of the Vajra master, the
Buddha's bodies remain sequential").
a) Generate the supreme field.
b) Invocation of wisdom beings, dissolving, and remaining
permanent.
c) Seeing them as the completion of total refuge.
This is the essence.

6. Nagarjuna says: "Forget all other offerings, concentrate on

offering to the Lamas. Making them happy is sure to obtain
wisdom." Making offerings to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
is important, but it is emphasized that making offerings to
the lama is more important. Therefore, the Seven Limb
offerings follow.

7. All the offerings are in nature and purpose seen as bliss-

void inseparable. Offer according to these verses.

55
8. In the root tantras, it is explained that you should always
perceive the qualities of the Lama and disregard the faults.
Reflect on the advantages of correctly relying on your
spiritual teacher and the disadvantages of not doing so. By
thinking with single-pointed concentration that the teacher
is the sole, undeceiving refuge, the embodiment of the
Three rare and supreme jewels, take refuge and make
intense requests while reciting the ‘Mig tse ma’ chant as
many times as possible.

9. Having meditated in this way, by mixing together one's

mind and that of the Lama-Yidam, carry on all your activities
throughout the day by perceiving all appearances as the
union of great bliss and emptiness. Combining the yoga of
generation and completion stage practices, persevere in
gradually training your mind in the stages of the path.

10. Thus by practicing in this way everyday, you are actually

training in the essence of all sutras and tantras.

56
