The practice, a terma revealed by the great Terton Garwang Drodul Lingpa Tsal Dujuom Rinpiche II Jigdral Yeshe Dorje is a practice of Vajrakilaya, that like a sword, destroys at a touch. A short name it is known as is Putri Rekphung.

Why Vajrakilaya practice?

“Vajrakilaya cuts through the solidity of hardened minds and afflictive emotions with the weapon of sharp, clear awareness.” 
~ Lama Tharchin Rinpoche 

One need not look far to see how much all of us in this world
need practices like these to pacify the boiling passions of
our degenerate age.”   ~ Lama Sonam Rinpoche   

“H.H. Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche gave us this concise Putri Rekphung Vajrakilaya practice especially for these degenerate times –
  • to bring balance to outer and inner elements,
  • to foster kindness and compassion in the minds of world leaders,
  • to pray for the long lives of those with these precious qualities, 
  • to pray that all who practice may swiftly attain enlightenment for the benefit of sentient beings.
Vajrakilaya’s power to annihilate negativity manifests according to each practitioner’s faith, diligence and confidence. With faith,even a connection through offerings or a Vajrakilaya statue, text, or picture in your home, will help you to overcome obstacles.
 
“In addition to Vajrakilaya practice, we will also begin to accumulate 100,000 Shenpa Protector prayers. Shenpa is the special protector for the Dudjom Tersar lineage – practiced to remove Dudjom practitioners’ obstacles.
 
“We do not have clairvoyance, but the protectors do and they will protect us according to the strength of our practice – from fears, disease, conflicts, and obstacles to our Dharma practice.
 
Below is H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa 2017 letter
to the Pema Osel Ling about Gutor practice. 

“When Shenpa prayers are accumulated together with other practitioners, they are even more powerful. We invite you to accumulate these protector prayers with us during retreat – it is a special opportunity!

Dear Vajrakilaya participants,

We have included a .PDF of the Shenpa Prayer we are accumulating, you are welcome to download it and print it at home to help during sessions, I will include the link here as well as attach it in the email.
 
You can also find this prayer and other helpful resources on the Vajrakilaya Gutor-Losar streaming link page here.
 
Lama Sonam Rinpoche welcomes everyone attending this retreat to participate in the accumulation of 100,000 Shenpa prayers.
 
You may chant the Shenpa prayer anytime, according to your schedule, but to count towards the accumulations, we ask you to follow these two guidelines:
 
(1) Take part in the complete morning Vajrakilaya puja on the same day as doing the Shenpa accumulations. This can be done by watching a recording from a previous day or by live streaming.
 
(2) Do your accumulation of Shenpa prayers in real time with the live stream. These will mostly be done in the afternoon sessions on February 4-6.
 
To clarify, please email your accumulations to office@vajrayana.org every day or only on February 9. We will be accumulating Shenpa primarily on February 4, 5 and 6, but they will continue in smaller numbers through February 9th.
 
Thanks again for participating,
Sandy

Vajra Guru Mantra

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

image
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
