The following is from the Nam Cho Daily Practice Book from Palyul Ling
Seven-Line Prayer to Guru Rinpoche
HUNG In the northwest country of Uddiyana,
Born in the pollen heart of a lotus,
Endowed with the most marvelous spiritual attainments,
You are renowned as the “Lotus Born.”
Surrounded by a retinue of many Dakinis
Following in your footsteps,
I pray to you, please come forth and grand your blessings!
GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG
The Mountain of Burnt Offerings is Herein Contained
OM SWATI
“The Mountain of Burnt Offerings” is an instruction taken from Lhatsun’s “Vidyadhara-Achievers of Life Force.” To do this practice, prepare some auspicious things such as good quality wood, incense, medicine, and three white and three sweet substances, flour etc. Place them inside a clean container or hearth; light a fire and sprinkle them with clean water.
First Refuge
OM AH HUNG
Of all the refuges in samsara and nirvana present throughout space, the quintessence
Is the power and wrathful vidyadhara, Pema To Treng Tsal.
The phenomenal world is totally perfected within his body as a Buddha mandala.
We take refuge so all beings may cross over unenlightened existence.
(Repeat three times)
Bodhicitta
We generate Bodhicitta on the ground (alaya) of the sphere (bindhu),
The supremely secret, clear light and ultimate wisdom.
So all beings may purify the three obscurations,
And attain the spontaneously self-perfected bindu of body, speech and mind, and through the four spontaneous visions, attain liberation in the youthful vase body.
(Repeat three times)
Seven Part Suppliation
I pay homage to the continuously present and unmodified nature of pure presence (rigpa.)
I offer the clear light, freedom from depths and limits.
I confess within the vast expanse, the equality of samsara and nirvana.
I rejoice in the great wearing out of reality, freedom from conception.
I ask you to always turn the wheel of dharma, the great perfection,
And to churn up the depths of samsara.
Free from the limiting three conceptions, I dedicate this to reaching the far limit.
Self-Visualization
From the dimension of primordial ultimate reality and the unceasing potency,
In Pema To Treng: white-reddish body, youthful and handsome.
The brightness of his noble symbols and marks are blazing, holding vajra and kapala,
Perfectly adorned with majestic ornaments and garments.
Imagined form and wisdom are not separate; the form embodies all enlightened beings,
The great splendor of everything within samsara and nirvana.
OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG
(Recite mantra many times)
RAM YAM KAM
Based on emptiness, the burnt substances are transformed into inexhaustible amrita
That emanates throughout space massive clouds of vast desirable qualities.
(Bless with the three syllables, the repeat the treasury mantra three times:)
NAMA SARWA TATHAGATE BHAYO BISHO MU KHE BHE SARWA THA KHAM UTGA TE SAPHA RANA E MAM GA GA NA KHAM SOHA
Inside a vast container made from the essence of vajra jewels,
Objects pleasing to the senses of mundane existence, the samaya substances,
Blessed by the three syllables become wisdom amrita.
Offering clouds pleasing to the senses swirl throughout the phenomenal world.
These are offered to the lamas, yidams, dakinis and Dharma protectors;
To however many Buddha mandalas there are in the ten directions;
To our other guests, the Dzambuling lords of the land, the six kinds of beings and those to whom we owe karmic debts;
Particularly to those who steal life and life force,
Those who send illness, elemental spirits who stir up obstacles,
Those who send bad signs and indications in our dreams and send all kinds of bad omens,
The eight types of demons who are masters of malevolent magical projections,
Those to whom we owe karmic debts of food, housing and wealth,
Demons who are masters of obscurations, demons who cause insanity, male and female ghosts,
Demons who cause fatal accidents, demons who take the essence of health and wealth, other demons who live in cities, all male and female demons.
As the red flames burn, karmic debts are paid back.
Whatever is desired arises as desirable qualities.
As long as there is a sky,
We form the intention that these desirable qualities be inexhaustible!
The negativities and obscuration we have accumulated in the three times
And our incorrect use of offerings to the three jewels or for the benefit of the dead,
Are purified by the flames offered in this burnt generosity.
Each flame is an atom containing the entire phenomenal world.
Inexhaustible masses of Kuntuzangpo offering clouds.
Thoroughly permeate the pure realms of all Buddhas.
Flames radiate offering clouds of five-colored wisdom lights,
Pervading the six realms of existence, even the worst hell realm (Avici,)
The three planes of samsara are liberated in the luminous form of the rainbow body.
May all beings awaken to the very heart of enlightenment.
OM AH HUNG
(Recite the three syllables 100 or 1000 times etc, and then:)
In an immeasurable container, the three dimensions of existence (kayas,)
The ultimate, blissful and manifest form aggregates of the phenomenal world
Melts into amrita, filling space with rainbow lights.
This inexhaustible, quintessential amrita of samsara and nirvana,
Since forever and until now,
Is totally dedicated to our guests in the phenomenal world.
Having perfected the levels, paths and fruition qualities,
And having completely dispelled the obstacles to view, meditation and action,
Within the dynamic space-like dimension of Kuntuzangpo’s realization,
May we attain the immortality of the youthful vase body.
When the great ocean of samsara is empty,
May we awaken in Akanishta, land of the lotus nets.
Aggregates and elements are burnt substances blazing radiantly and brilliantly.
White and red bodhicitta are burnt substances blazing blissfully yet non-substantially.
Emptiness and compassion are burnt substances pervading the dimension of real existence (dharmadhatu.)
Within the phenomenal world, in the ground of the five vajra lights of samsara and nirvana,
We offer the burnt substances of spontaneously self perfected and complete enlightenment.
May all previous karmic debts be purified.
May they not remain in our present stream of being; we openly admit our errors.
In the future, may we not experience cyclic obscurations.
As to the vows and trainings of the pratimoksha, bodhisattva and vidyadhara paths,
And the many kinds of secret mantra commitments (samayas,)
We openly admit all breeches committed consciously or unconsciously.
May all illness, demons, obscurations and impurities be purified.
May the times of plague, famines, and weapons be pacified.
May the times of foreigners invading the central land be averted.
May the obstacle of the guru being invited to manifest Dharma elsewhere be averted.
May inauspicious bad omens for the country of Tibet be averted.
May the planetary forces, nagas and king-like spirits who take away our life force be repelled.
May the eight great fears and sixteen lesser ones be averted.
Where ever we live, may all inauspiciousness be averted.
May the power, strength and energy of demonic forces be repelled.
OM AH HUNG
When accumulating, start again from “Drung”
At the End:
May all the Buddhas be pleased with these offerings.
May the minds of the oath-bound ones be satisfied.
May the desires of the six kinds of beings be satisfied.
May our karmic debts and debts of the flesh be purified.
May the two accumulations be completed.
May the karmic traces of the two obscurations be purified.
May the two sacred dimensions be attained.
Through the power of this vast and great generosity,
May we become self arisen Buddhas for the benefit of beings.
May all beings who were not liberated by previous Buddhas,
Be liberated through this generosity.
May the elemental spirits who are living here or visiting,
Living on earth, under it, in the sky or wherever,
Always be loving towards beings,
And practice Dharma day and night.
Through this virtue may all beings
Perfectly accumulate merit and wisdom,
And from this merit and wisdom,
May they attain two sacred dimensions.
Not clothed with exertion and effort,
May it happen auspiciously that the wish fulfilling tree,
Fulfill the hopes of beings,
and accomplish their intention.
(Thus recite the words of auspiciousness and dedication.)
This practice is known as the diamond practice. It can prolong life and remove obstacles, particularly those with unpaid karmic debts. This was revealed in Sikkim, the secret hidden land, to Namkha Jigmed by the dakinis who revealed it to him as the practice which opens the gate to the secret land.
