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

On the benefits of the Vajra Guru Mantra

“This is the essence mantra of all Sugatas, the accomplishment practice of all Victorious Buddhas in one. By meditating upon Me and reciting the Siddhi mantra, you will traverse the fifteen bhumis and five paths. It is the same as reading all the teachings of all the Buddhas of the three times.”

Also, “This will awaken you from clinging to the solidity of appearing existence. It is the condensation of all the Victorious Buddhas of the three times. It is indivisible from all lamas. It subdues all elemental spirits and arrogant spirits. Dakinis and dharma protectors will gather like clouds. All the male and female dakas and dakinis be overjoyed and come to bestow supreme and common siddhis. If you do not receive signs of accomplishment, then I, Padmasambhava, have deceived sentient beings. Therefore, my future fortunate son, keep this in your heart. Samaya.”

Also, “By reciting Padmasambhava’s twelve-syllable essence mantra twelve hundred thousand times, the seed of samsara will be eliminated. By reciting it 36 hundred thousand times, one will reach the level of the Awareness-Holders. By reciting it ten million times one will become equal to me, Padmasambhava.” ~ as said by Guru Rinpoche

Lama Sonam Rinpoche reminds us that, “Our teacher, the perfect Buddha, through his great skillfulness and limitless compassion, gave an unimaginable variety of nectar-like Dharma teachings according to the different predispositions, faculties, and fortune of beings. The most supreme, the very best of all those teachings, is this complete and deceitless clear light Secret Mantra Vajrayana vehicle through which one can accomplish buddhahood in one lifetime, in which there is the path of diligent practice for those whose are inclined to gradual progress, and the supreme sudden path for those of the sharpest faculties and who have a karmic connection from past lives.

“We have the good fortune and karmic connection to have faith in the Lama, Guru Rinpoche, and to be able to practice this Colleciton of Seven Treasures, the most supreme among all Lama Accomplishment (Ladrup) practices. It was compiled by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche from seven great treasures of the Nyingma Lineage, the Gathering of Secrets (Sangwa Düpa) of Guru Chöwang, the Gathering of the Eight Commands (Kagyay Düpa) of Dorje Lingpa, the Gathering of the Innermost Essence (Yangnying Düpa) of Ratna Lingpa, the Gem Ocean (Norbu Gyatso) of Padma Lingpa, the Gathering of the Victorious Ones (Gyalwa Düpa) of Zhigpo Lingpa, the Complete Gathering of the Enlightened Intent (Gongpa Yongdü) of Düdül Lingpa, and the Complete Gathering of the Sugatas (Deshek Yongdü) of Dudjom Rinpoche himself. He compiled them all into one simple practice which encompasses the entire Nyingma Lineage, through which we can actually accomplish enlightenment in a single lifetime.”

On June 23 @ 11am Lama Sonam Rinpoche
will give the Oral Reading Transmission (Lung).

There is no practice commitment for attending the Drupchod, and people can attend as their schedule permits. The one practice commitment is to accumulate the Vajra Guru Mantra as much as possible. The accumulation of the Vajra Guru Mantra and reporting of accumulations will start when the retreat starts; Lama Sonam Rinpoche will describe the visualization during the teaching session. Rinpoche says it is good for people to say the mantra beforehand, but the accumulations won’t start till the Drupchod begins as part of the practice.

Report your mantra accumulations to offerings@vajrayana.org
