Guru Rinpoche

Happy Guru Rinpoche Day

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

On Guru Rinpoche Day, November 2021, Lama Gyaltsen Rinpoche gave a concise teaching to the Ngondro Program on the 7 Line Prayer of Guru Rinpoche with his son, Venerable Dongak Nima, who translated from the Tibetan to English.

The Seven Line Prayer of Guru Rinpoche is not merely a prayer, but it is a method to awaken one’s own primordial wisdom-mind according to the profound path of Ati Yoga.

Lama Gyaltsen Rinpoche is a  lifelong Buddhist practitioner of the Dudjom Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and a learned Buddhist scholar. Rinpoche is also very connected to the Vajrayana Foundation and one of Saraha’s Buddhist Institute Founding Teachers along with Lama Tharchin Rinpoche and Lama Sonam Rinpoche.

Tseyang Khatrod, the Union of Long-Life and Wealth-Gathering Practices

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

               It is said that one winter, a long time ago, Guru Rinpoche travelled to a land in Tibet where people were suffering from poverty. Their king requested Guru Rinpoche to do a Dzambhala practice to free them from sufferings. Guru Rinpoche miraculously manifested himself as Orgyen Khandro Norlha and he become Lama Norlha, the lama of all Dzambhalas. Through his blessing, the land started to become wealthy and people never even heard the name of poverty again. That is why this Lama Norlha practice is usually requested by kings to eliminate obstacles of the land, attract and gather people, wealth and food, and to bring good luck.

               Guru Rinpoche gave specific instructions for the creation of treasure vases to assist with the healing of the environment and the restoration of vital energy for the many beings and realms during these degenerate times. Before Guru Rinpoche left Tibet, he concealed Lama Norlha’s practice texts in different places and asked the dakinis and protectors to safeguard them until tertöns recovered them and passed them to their disciples.

               The Vajrayana Foundation Annual Summer Retreat  May 19  – June 20, 2021 will begin with the practice of Tseyang Khatrod, the union of long-life and wealth-gathering practices through May 26th. 

               The Tsokye Tuktik cycle of practices were revealed from the profound expanse wisdom mind of H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, Guru Rinpoche’s regent in our time. Tsokye Tuktik has the most extraordinary blessings of all Ladrup (Lama accomplishment) practices. The warm breath of the dakinis has not faded from it; there has been no chance for damaged samaya to interfere with it; it has extremely fresh wisdom blessings, and the flow of the river of its lineage blessings is uninterrupted.

               The Tsokye Tuktik cycle contains outer, inner, secret, and innermost secret accomplishment practices of the Lama, Guru Rinpoche. The secret accomplishment practice of Tsokye Tuktik is a longevity practice with Guru Rinpoche in union with Mandarava, and we will practice it with the inner accomplishment practice, Orgyen Khandro Norlha, Guru Rinpoche in the form of a wealth deity.

Vajra Guru Mantra

~ DudjomTersarNgondro
Guru Rinpoche at Pema Osel Ling

The explanation of the meaning of the Guru’s essential twelve-syllable mantra is explained according to the extensive commentary on The New Treasure Preliminary Practices called The Lamp Illuminating the Path to Liberation

OM AH HUNG BENZRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUNG

OM, AH, and HUNG are the expression of the three vajras of enlightened body, speech, and mind that begin the mantra.

BENZAR is vajra. Vajra means never affected by the elaboration of dualistic conceptions. Abiding as the essence of all-pervasive empty awareness, vajra is Dharmakaya.

GURU means the Sambhogakaya Lama. The nature of this Sambhogakaya deity has the seven branches of union, carrying the inexhaustible opulence of the qualities of enlightened body and vast oceans of pure lands arranged like gatherings of clouds. This is Sambhogakaya.

PADMA is the radiant awareness of discerning wisdom, the vajra speech of great bliss. Arising in the form of the supreme Lotus family of miraculous birth, this is Nirmanakaya. By remembering the greatness of the qualities of this Great Lama Orgyen Dorje Chang, who is the inseparable Three Kayas, pray from the state of the uncontrived nature of one’s mind, free from elaboration. By the power of prayer, both common and supreme SIDDHI without exception are requested with HUNG, and received within one’s mind right at that moment. Thus, remembering the meaning, recite the mantra. Repost from May, 2016
