Preliminaries

Refuge

I go for refuge continually to the Sugata Buddhas in whose minds abide a mental play (re-alization of voidness) actualized (in stages like the waxing of the) stainless moon and infinitemethods of pure compassion

I go for refuge continually to the holy Dharma which (as the Noble Truth of the Path is thebasis for ) total freedom from all misconception and the foundation for the excellence ofthe holy ( Arya Bodhisattva) beings and which (as the Noble Truth of Cessation) is the verynature (of voidness) the single taste of all phenomena

I go for refuge to the host (of Arya Bodhisattvas) who are masters (over ordinary beings) ofdiscipline who abide on the (Bodhisattva) stages such as the Joyous One and so forth areendowed with a glory (of bodhichitta) incited by supreme compassion and who becomepurely freed from (the portion of ) fetters (to be abandoned on each stage as they progress)

I shall generate my mind into a pure bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wish (both)the wishing and (the venturing state that) ripens ( from it by application of which) the in-stincts of all the obstacles can be removed

Generation of Bodhichitta

I shall generate my mind into a pure Bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wishBoth the wishing and the engaging state

that ripens from itBy application of which the instincts of all obstacles

are removed

Meditation on the Uncommon Protection Wheel

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA

SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

In the sense that the nature causes and results of all phenomena are all three void of existinginherently by their own definition everything becomes void Within a state of Voidness comesa PAM from which comes a variegated lotus in the centre of which from an AH comes a sunmandala On top of this from a yellow BHRUM comes a yellow ten-spoked wheel revolvingquickly clockwise and emanating into the ten directions streams of clouds of blazing vajras

Inside the centre (of the wheel ) is a variegated lotus and moon seat At each of the tips of the

eight spokes in the cardinal and intermediary directions and in the spokes above and below theinside of the centre just slightly not touching them are variegated lotus and sun seats

On top of the central seat I (arise) as Vajradhara white in color with three faces ndash white blackand red ndash and six arms the right hands holding a vajra wheel and lotus and the le with bell jewel and sword I am adorned with the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks of aBuddha My consort is white Vajradhatu Ishvari with three faces ndash white black and red ndash andsix arms the right hands holding a vajra wheel and lotus and the le with bell jewel and swordWe embrace each other father and mother with our first two arms Both of us too are radiantly

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Visualization of the [Mandala] Residence

Instantaneously within a state of voidness comes the complete vajra ground fence tent canopyand fire mountain In the centre of this is a white three-sided pyramidal reality source standingupright with the large side on top and the fine point sticking down at the bottom

Inside this is a variegated lotus in the centre of which is a HUM YAM HUM From the greyYAM comes a blue bow-shaped wind mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to adornthe two sides On top of this is a HUM RAM HUM From the red RAM comes a red triangularfire mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to adorn the two sides On top of this is aHUM BAM HUM From the white BAM comes a white circular water mandala and from the twoHUMs come two vajras to adorn the two sides On top of this is a HUM LAM HUM From theyellow LAM comes a yellow square earth mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to

Refuge

I go for refuge continually to the Sugata Buddhas in whose minds abide a mental play (re-alization of voidness) actualized (in stages like the waxing of the) stainless moon and infinitemethods of pure compassion

I go for refuge continually to the holy Dharma which (as the Noble Truth of the Path is thebasis for ) total freedom from all misconception and the foundation for the excellence ofthe holy ( Arya Bodhisattva) beings and which (as the Noble Truth of Cessation) is the verynature (of voidness) the single taste of all phenomena

I go for refuge to the host (of Arya Bodhisattvas) who are masters (over ordinary beings) ofdiscipline who abide on the (Bodhisattva) stages such as the Joyous One and so forth areendowed with a glory (of bodhichitta) incited by supreme compassion and who becomepurely freed from (the portion of ) fetters (to be abandoned on each stage as they progress)

I shall generate my mind into a pure bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wish (both)the wishing and (the venturing state that) ripens ( from it by application of which) the in-stincts of all the obstacles can be removed

Generation of Bodhichitta

I shall generate my mind into a pure Bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wishBoth the wishing and the engaging state

that ripens from itBy application of which the instincts of all obstacles

are removed

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Visualization of the [Mandala] Residence

comes a duplicate of myself

O glorious holder of a Buddha-mind I who am meditating on the one who is the insepara-bility of the three vajras request you to grant me your blessings now for vajra-mind

O Buddhas seated in the ten directions I who am meditating on the one who is the insepa-rability of the three vajras request you to grant me your blessings now for vajra-mind

e main and encircling Akshobhyas having been requested in this way the hosts of emanatedMamakis and called-forth Akshobhya-deities go into union preceding this with mutual displaysof affection ey experience the bliss of supreme joy Melting into the nature of black rays oflight they enter me through my heart in the manner of wisdom-beings Attaining wisdom-statesall (the deities) of my body become filled and satisfied I achieve the power of mind

May (my mind) be like you who are the completely pure mind of Samantabhadra which is thelord of those who (realize) what is secret and is possessed by the (blissful) mind (of your consort)and may I be your equal O holder of the vajra

Preliminaries

Refuge

I go for refuge continually to the Sugata Buddhas in whose minds abide a mental play (re-alization of voidness) actualized (in stages like the waxing of the) stainless moon and infinitemethods of pure compassion

I go for refuge continually to the holy Dharma which (as the Noble Truth of the Path is thebasis for ) total freedom from all misconception and the foundation for the excellence ofthe holy ( Arya Bodhisattva) beings and which (as the Noble Truth of Cessation) is the verynature (of voidness) the single taste of all phenomena

I go for refuge to the host (of Arya Bodhisattvas) who are masters (over ordinary beings) ofdiscipline who abide on the (Bodhisattva) stages such as the Joyous One and so forth areendowed with a glory (of bodhichitta) incited by supreme compassion and who becomepurely freed from (the portion of ) fetters (to be abandoned on each stage as they progress)

I shall generate my mind into a pure bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wish (both)the wishing and (the venturing state that) ripens ( from it by application of which) the in-stincts of all the obstacles can be removed

Generation of Bodhichitta

I shall generate my mind into a pure Bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wishBoth the wishing and the engaging state

that ripens from itBy application of which the instincts of all obstacles

are removed

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Preliminaries

Refuge

I go for refuge continually to the Sugata Buddhas in whose minds abide a mental play (re-alization of voidness) actualized (in stages like the waxing of the) stainless moon and infinitemethods of pure compassion

I go for refuge continually to the holy Dharma which (as the Noble Truth of the Path is thebasis for ) total freedom from all misconception and the foundation for the excellence ofthe holy ( Arya Bodhisattva) beings and which (as the Noble Truth of Cessation) is the verynature (of voidness) the single taste of all phenomena

I go for refuge to the host (of Arya Bodhisattvas) who are masters (over ordinary beings) ofdiscipline who abide on the (Bodhisattva) stages such as the Joyous One and so forth areendowed with a glory (of bodhichitta) incited by supreme compassion and who becomepurely freed from (the portion of ) fetters (to be abandoned on each stage as they progress)

I shall generate my mind into a pure bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wish (both)the wishing and (the venturing state that) ripens ( from it by application of which) the in-stincts of all the obstacles can be removed

Generation of Bodhichitta

I shall generate my mind into a pure Bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wishBoth the wishing and the engaging state

that ripens from itBy application of which the instincts of all obstacles

In the sense that the nature causes and results of all phenomena are all three void of existinginherently by their own definition everything becomes void Within a state of Voidness comesa PAM from which comes a variegated lotus in the centre of which from an AH comes a sunmandala On top of this from a yellow BHRUM comes a yellow ten-spoked wheel revolvingquickly clockwise and emanating into the ten directions streams of clouds of blazing vajras

Inside the centre (of the wheel ) is a variegated lotus and moon seat At each of the tips of the

eight spokes in the cardinal and intermediary directions and in the spokes above and below theinside of the centre just slightly not touching them are variegated lotus and sun seats

On top of the central seat I (arise) as Vajradhara white in color with three faces ndash white blackand red ndash and six arms the right hands holding a vajra wheel and lotus and the le with bell jewel and sword I am adorned with the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks of aBuddha My consort is white Vajradhatu Ishvari with three faces ndash white black and red ndash andsix arms the right hands holding a vajra wheel and lotus and the le with bell jewel and swordWe embrace each other father and mother with our first two arms Both of us too are radiantly

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Visualization of the [Mandala] Residence

Instantaneously within a state of voidness comes the complete vajra ground fence tent canopyand fire mountain In the centre of this is a white three-sided pyramidal reality source standingupright with the large side on top and the fine point sticking down at the bottom

Inside this is a variegated lotus in the centre of which is a HUM YAM HUM From the greyYAM comes a blue bow-shaped wind mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to adornthe two sides On top of this is a HUM RAM HUM From the red RAM comes a red triangularfire mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to adorn the two sides On top of this is aHUM BAM HUM From the white BAM comes a white circular water mandala and from the twoHUMs come two vajras to adorn the two sides On top of this is a HUM LAM HUM From theyellow LAM comes a yellow square earth mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to

Preliminaries

Refuge

I go for refuge continually to the Sugata Buddhas in whose minds abide a mental play (re-alization of voidness) actualized (in stages like the waxing of the) stainless moon and infinitemethods of pure compassion

I go for refuge continually to the holy Dharma which (as the Noble Truth of the Path is thebasis for ) total freedom from all misconception and the foundation for the excellence ofthe holy ( Arya Bodhisattva) beings and which (as the Noble Truth of Cessation) is the verynature (of voidness) the single taste of all phenomena

I go for refuge to the host (of Arya Bodhisattvas) who are masters (over ordinary beings) ofdiscipline who abide on the (Bodhisattva) stages such as the Joyous One and so forth areendowed with a glory (of bodhichitta) incited by supreme compassion and who becomepurely freed from (the portion of ) fetters (to be abandoned on each stage as they progress)

I shall generate my mind into a pure bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wish (both)the wishing and (the venturing state that) ripens ( from it by application of which) the in-stincts of all the obstacles can be removed

Generation of Bodhichitta

I shall generate my mind into a pure Bodhichitta adorned with a pure selfless wishBoth the wishing and the engaging state

that ripens from itBy application of which the instincts of all obstacles

are removed

In the sense that the nature causes and results of all phenomena are all three void of existinginherently by their own definition everything becomes void Within a state of Voidness comesa PAM from which comes a variegated lotus in the centre of which from an AH comes a sunmandala On top of this from a yellow BHRUM comes a yellow ten-spoked wheel revolvingquickly clockwise and emanating into the ten directions streams of clouds of blazing vajras

Inside the centre (of the wheel ) is a variegated lotus and moon seat At each of the tips of the

eight spokes in the cardinal and intermediary directions and in the spokes above and below theinside of the centre just slightly not touching them are variegated lotus and sun seats

On top of the central seat I (arise) as Vajradhara white in color with three faces ndash white blackand red ndash and six arms the right hands holding a vajra wheel and lotus and the le with bell jewel and sword I am adorned with the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks of aBuddha My consort is white Vajradhatu Ishvari with three faces ndash white black and red ndash andsix arms the right hands holding a vajra wheel and lotus and the le with bell jewel and swordWe embrace each other father and mother with our first two arms Both of us too are radiantly

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Visualization of the [Mandala] Residence

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Visualization of the [Mandala] Residence

Instantaneously within a state of voidness comes the complete vajra ground fence tent canopyand fire mountain In the centre of this is a white three-sided pyramidal reality source standingupright with the large side on top and the fine point sticking down at the bottom

Inside this is a variegated lotus in the centre of which is a HUM YAM HUM From the greyYAM comes a blue bow-shaped wind mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to adornthe two sides On top of this is a HUM RAM HUM From the red RAM comes a red triangularfire mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to adorn the two sides On top of this is aHUM BAM HUM From the white BAM comes a white circular water mandala and from the twoHUMs come two vajras to adorn the two sides On top of this is a HUM LAM HUM From theyellow LAM comes a yellow square earth mandala and from the two HUMs come two vajras to

Main Practice

Meditation on Voidness

To consider phenomena as totally non-existent [= nihilism] is not meditation Also to considerthere is something truly existent to be meditated upon [= externalism]is not meditation ere-fore since all phenomena in this way are not truly existent [= free of the ree Cycles] meditation

should be non-objectifyingAs all phenomena included in the categories of the environment and the beings within are ulti-

mately devoid of true existence everything becomes void without meditation what is meditatedupon or meditator being objectified into anything truly existent and with everything by naturedevoid of being a truly existent cause or result

Visualization of the [Mandala] Residence

e consciousness of my nose is the flower garlands

e cognitive power of my tongue is the bells

e collected cognitive power of my body becomes the yak-tail fans adorned with strands andhalf-strings of jewels

e consciousnesses of my ears and body are the banners and flags situated on the upright den-tils

My eight limbs namely my calves thighs forearms and upper arms are the eight pillars

My belly is the vases inside the mandala

e cognitive power of my ears is the vajras on the half-moons in the corners

My purified five aggregates are the five colors of the mandalae four vital points at my secret organ navel heart and face [= tip of nose] are the four arch-

ways

e cognitive power of my eyes is the wheels on top of them
