Calling the Master From Afar

Cloud Banks of Blessings

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

The Prayer for Calling the Guru from Afar, Cloud Banks of Blessings, was written by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche III  Sangye Pema Shepa. It is a supplication for Dudjom Lingpa, Dudjom Yeshe Dorje and Dudjom Sangye Pema Shepa of the three Kayas to ripen our mind and to be liberated through the blessed nectar of the four empowerments.

From the colophon:

“Many years ago, Sangye Gyalmo requested me for such a supplication. I, however, felt it unnecessary at the time and left it. She persisted and so as not to refuse her earnest requests, I reflected on the teaching that the common and uncommon spiritual accomplishments result from supplicating the guru as inseparable from one’s own mind – the indivisible three kayas – and wrote this on New Year’s Day, the Year of the Metal Ox. (Feb 12, 2021).”

A Spontaneous Song of the Original State

A Prayer Calling the Master from Afar

HHDudjom 0922016

Essence of awareness, changeless from the beginning, your fundamental nature free from elaboration
Abides as primordial purity, inner clarity, the youthful vase body.
Yeshé Dorjé, dharmakaya master, think of me;
Grant me your blessings that I gain great confidence in the view, I pray.

The nature of awareness, your unobstructed, integral union, an assemblage of light,
Abides as your display, the spontaneously present five certainties.
Déchen Dorjé, sambhogakaya master, think of me;
Grant me your blessings that I bring meditation’s great display to completion.

Compassionate qualities, your impartial wisdom free from extremes
Abides in the naked essence of pervasive empty awareness.
Drodül Lingpa, nirmanakaya master, think of me;
Grant me your blessings that I accomplish the enhancement of conduct.

In the original ground of one’s own awareness there is no movement or change.
Whatever arises is dharmakaya’s display, neither good nor bad.
Since my present awareness is the actual Buddha,
I have discovered the open relaxed master in the center of my heart.

Now that I realize that my original mind has the nature of my Lama,
I have no need for painful contrived prayers made with grasping attachment.
I relax freely in the natural settled state, uncontrived awareness,
And receive the blessings of the self-liberation of whatever arises, without fixation.

Activity will never accomplish enlightenment.
My analytic, mentally created meditation is a tricky enemy.
Now, with a madman’s abandon, I let my worldview collapse;
I will spend this human life within the nature of uninhibited naked rest.

Happy in whatever I do, a practitioner of the Great Perfection,
Joyful in any company, Lotus-Born’s descendant,
My lord protector, you are unrivaled, a great master treasure-revealer.
These teachings are matchless, the heart essence of the dakinis.

My heart’s gloom, great delusion, has lifted from where it lay
And clear light’s encompassing sun shines and never sets.
This, my good fortune, comes from your kindness, Lama, my true father.
Your kindness is unrepayable. Master, I turn my thoughts to you.

In response to my foremost vajra disciple Tulku Jigmé Chöying Norbu Tamché Drubpé Dé.
I, Jigdral Yeshé Dorjé, spoke this nonsense. May it prove virtuous!
