OM KHANDAROHI HUM HUM PHAT OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

(The inner offering) becomes empty. Within emptiness, from YAM comes wind, from RAM, fire, from AHs, three human-head tripod, and upon it, from AH, a skullcup, broad and vast. Inside it, from OM, KAM, AM, TRAM, and HUM, come the five nectars, and from LAM, MAM, PAM, TAM, and BAM, the five meats, marked

by the letters. Wind blowing and fire blazing make the substances inside the skullcup melt. An upside-down khatvanga arisen from HUM above melts down into the skullcup, turning the nectar the color of mercury. Three stacked garlands of ALI KALI above transform into OM, AH and HUM. Light rays from these hook

back from the hearts of all Tathagatas, Viras and Yoginis throughout space, nectars of transcendent wisdom. Mixing in, they make the nectar vast and expanding! OM AH HUM (3x)

OM KHANDAROHI HUM HUM PHAT OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

(The offerings) become empty. Within emptiness, from KAMs come skullcup vessels inside of which, from HUMs come the offerings, in nature empty, in aspect the individual offerings, in function granting special undefiled bliss as objects to be enjoyed by the six sense powers.

OM ARGHAM AH HUM OM PADYAM AH HUM OM BEDZA PUPE AH HUM OM BEDZA DHUPE AH HUM OM BEDZA DIPE AH HUM OM BEDZA GHANDE AH HUM OM BEDZA NAIVITYA AH HUM OM BEDZA SHAPTA AH HUM

At my crown, on lotus and moon is Vajrasattva, white Yab-Yum embracing, single faces, two hands, holding vajra and bell, curved knife and skullcup. The Father is adorned by six mudras and Mother, by five mudras, sitting in vajra and lotus positions. At his heart is HUM encircled by the mantra garland, from which white nectar flows down, purifying all sickness, demons, bad karma and obstructions.

(21x)

Vajrasattva Yab-Yum dissolves into me, making Vajrasattva’s body, speech and mind inseparable from mine.

In the fore-space, clear light wisdom non-dually realizing primordial purity appears as a square inconceivable mansion with four doors and landings, all ornaments and characteristics complete. In the center, supported by eight great lions, is a jewel throne with varicolored lotus, moon, and sun cushions, on

which is my kind root Guru, in aspect, red Buddha Vajradharma with one face and two hands, holding vajra and bell crossed at his heart, crowned with hair tied in top-knot, sitting with legs in vajra position. He has the youthfulness of a sixteen year-old, adorned by all silk, bone and jewel ornaments. Starting in front of him, going around

to his left, are all the lineage Gurus from Buddha Vajradhara to the root Guru, in aspect of Vira Vajradharma, red with one face and two hands, right hands playing damarus making the sound of bliss-emptiness, left hands holding nectar-filled skullcups at their hearts, holding katvangas in the crook of their

left elbows. They sit with legs in vajra-posture, adorned with six bone ornaments, in the prime of youth. The principal and entourage all have OM at their foreheads, AH at their throats, and HUM at their hearts. Light rays from the HUMs at their hearts go out, inviting from the natural abode, the Guru-Yidam Mandala Deities, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Viras, Dakinis and Guardian Dharmapalas,

OM BEDZA SAMA DZA DZA HUM BAM HO Each becomes an embodiment of all Refuge!

O Guru, whose body is like a jewel By whose kindness, great bliss state, Is instantly attained! Homage, Vajra Bearer, at your lotus feet!

OM GURU BEDZA DHARMA SAPARIWARA OM AH HUM

Slender goddesses with glory of attractive youth , Masters of the sixty-four arts of love, Field, mantra and innate-born messenger hosts Of beauteous illusory consorts, I offer to you!

Unobscured great wisdom of simultaneous bliss And sphere of all things’ lack of false, projected nature, Indivisible, spontaneous, beyond speech, thought or expression, Supreme ultimate Bodhicitta, I offer to you!

I take refuge in the Three Jewels! I confess all harms, specifying each! I rejoice in the virtues of all beings! I seize hold of Buddha Enlightenment!

In Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, I take refuge until enlightenment! To accomplish my own and other’s aims I strongly yearn for enlightenment!

Aspiring for supreme enlightenment, I shall treat sentient beings as my guests! Through beautiful Bodhisattva deeds, May I become Buddha to benefit all!

My mind as the thumb-sized Dakini Exits my crown and goes face to face With my root Guru and then returns. On a self-risen three-head tripod, Places my old body’s severed skull, Chops the flesh, blood and bones that remains, Heaps it in and, gazing with wide eyes, Cleanses, transforms and increases it, To become an ocean of nectar.

OM AH HUM HA HO HRI

(3x)

From my heart emanate countless goddesses holding skullcups. They scoop up the nectar and offer it to the guests, who sip it with tongue-straws of vajra light.

O Guru, embodying all Refuge, please! Grant your blessings, I beseech You! Please confer the four empowerments And grant state of the Four Kayas! (3x)

From OM at the Guru’s forehead white light and nectar streams forth. It dissolves into my forehead cleansing negativity and obstacles of my body. I receive the vase empowerment. Blessings of the Guru’s body enter my body!

From AH at the Guru’s throat red light and nectar streams forth. It dissolves into my throat cleansing negativity and obstacles of my speech. I receive the secret empowerment. Blessings of the Guru’s speech enter my speech!

From HUM at the Guru’s heart blue light and nectar streams forth. It dissolves into my heart cleansing negativity and obstacles of my mind. I receive the wisdom-mudra empowerment. Blessings of the Guru’s mind enter my mind!

From the Guru’s three places white, red, and blue light and nectar stream forth. They dissolve into my three places cleansing negativity and obstacles of my body, speech and mind. I receive the precious word empowerment. Blessings of the Guru’s body, speech and mind enter my body, speech and mind!

O precious Guru, essence of all times’ Buddhas! I beseech You, please bless my mind-stream! (3x)

Because of my request the encircling lineage Gurus dissolve into my root Guru in the center. My root Guru, out of affection for me, melts into red light and enters the crown of my head, mixing inseparably with my own mind in aspect of the red BAM at my heart.

The BAM expands throughout all of space transforming beings and environment into the nature of bliss and emptiness. Then, gradually shrinking back from the edges, it becomes a minute, subtle BAM that gradually dissolves from below into the nada. The nada also dissolves as I become inseparable blissemptiness Dharmakaya!

OM SHUNYATA JNANA BEDZA SVABHAVA ATMAKO HAM

Within emptiness in which all appearances were dissolved, my own mind’s transcendent wisdom-consciousness of non-dual bliss-emptiness arises in the aspect of a red BAM syllable standing in space.

Within emptiness, from EH, EH, arise two stacked red triangular phenomena sources. Inside them, from AH, arises a white moon mandala with a reddish glow. Upon it stands the mantra,

WARNANIYE BEDZA BAIROTSANIYE HUM HUM HUM PHAT PHAT PHAT SVAHA

circling to the left. When my mind-BAM-syllable sees this, I am motivated to take birth in the center of it and I enter the center of the moon. From the moon, BAM and mantra garland, light radiates forth, transforming all beings and worlds into the nature of Vajrayogini. Collecting back, it all dissolves into BAM and mantra garland, which transforms into the supporting and supported mandala, instantly complete.

Thus, there is the vajra ground, fence, tent and canopy, with blazing fivecolored fire outside swirling to the left. Inside is the circle of Eight Great

Charnel Grounds such as ‘The Fierce One.’ In the center are the red double-tetrahedron dharmakaras4 with vast widening necks facing upward and fine tips

sticking downwards. Except for front and back, the four corners are marked by pink blissswirls spinning to the left. Inside the dharmakaras, on the corolla of a multicolored eight-petalled lotus, on a sun mandala, I am transformed into Guru Vajrayogini. My right foot extended, presses down upon the breasts of

a red Kalavati. My left foot, drawn in, tramples back the head of a black Bhairava. With red color, bright as the fire that ends an eon, one face, two arms, and three eyes, I look up toward pure Kechara. My right hand extends vajra-marked curved knife downwards and left hand holds up blood-filled skullcup

that I drink from with my upturned mouth. My left shoulder holds vajra-marked katvanga with hanging damaru, bell, and triple banner. My black hair, hanging

free, covers my back down to the waist. In the prime of my youth, my desirable breasts swell. I show feelings of bliss. I have a crown of five dry human skulls, and a necklace of fifty. I am naked, adorned with the five mudras, midst a blazing wisdom fire.

Light beams forth from the mantra garland and BAM at the center of the moon mandala in the red double-tetrahedron dharmakaras at my heart. It goes out through my pores striking all sentient beings of the six realms, purifying their negative karma, obscurations and karmic habituation. They all become Vajrayoginis.

In the center of my heart phenomena source and moon cushion, the BAM letter, in nature of the four elements, separates into the four seed letters of the elements: YA RA LA and WA. They, in the nature of the four heart channel spokes such as the Desirous One, transform, starting from the left, into Lama,

Khandarohi, Rupini and Dakini. In the center, the half moon, drop and nada of the BAM transform into Venerable Vajrayogini, in nature, the union of the extremely subtle red and white drops, the ‘tigle of spring’. Outside of them are the twenty-four channels like the ‘Indestructible One,’ that go to the

hairline, crown and so forth, inseparable from the twenty-four drops that fall from the teeth and nails, etc., appearing as twentyfour letters of the mantra, starting OM OM, starting in the east, going around to the left . These transform into Pratsandi, Chandiyakshiya, Bhawatiya, Mahanasa, Biramatiya,

Karwariya, Langkeshwariya, Drumatsaya; Airawatiya, Mahabhairawi, Vayuvega, Surabakshiya, Shamadevi, Subhatra, Hayakarna, Kaganana; Chakravega, Khandarohi, Shaundini, Chakrawarmini, Suvira, Mahabala, Chakravartini, and 4 phenomena sources

Mahavira. They are the actual Yoginis who are non-dual with the Viras at the twenty-four outer places such as Puliramalaya. The channels and drops of the eight doors such as the mouth, inseparable from the eight letters HUM HUM and so on, transform into Kakasya, Ulukasya, Shwanasya, Shukarasya, Yamadadhi, Yamaduti, Yamadangtrini, and Yamamatani. All also have the Venerable Lady’s form complete with all adornments.

PHAIM! Light rays from the BAM at my heart go out from the point between my eyebrows. It invites all Tathagatas, Viras and Yoginis of the ten directions in the aspect of Vajrayogini.

DZA HUM BAM HO OM YOGA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA YOGA SHUDDHO HAM

I am the nature of the yoga of the purity of all phenomena.

At the places of my body on moon mandalas are: at navel, red OM BAM, Vajravarahi; at heart, blue HAM YOM, Yamani; at throat, white HRIM MOM, Mohani; at forehead, yellow HRIM HRIM, Sachalani; at crown, green HUM HUM, Samtrasani; and at all my limbs, grey PHAT PHAT, Chandika.

PHAIM! Light emanating from the BAM at my heart invites the supporting and supported mandala of Chakrasamvara. O All Tathagatas, please empower me! Having been thus requested, the eight Door Guardians chase away obstructers, the Viras express auspiciousness, the Virinis sing vajra-songs, Rupavajri and so forth make offerings, The Principal Deity attends to conferring the empowerment and Vajravarahi and the four Buddha-Mothers, holding nectar-filled jewel vases, confer empowerment at the crown.

‘Just as all the Tathagatas, Were offered baths at birth, Likewise we offer the bath, With this pure divine water!’

OM SARVA TATHAGATA ABISHEKATA SAMAYA SHRIYE HUM

Having been empowered, my whole body is filled and all stains are purified. Extra water remaining on my head transforms into Vairochana Heruka and Consort adorning my crown.

Offering goddesses emanated from my heart make the offerings:

OM OM OM SARVA BUDDHA DAKINIYE BEDZA WARNANIYE BEDZA BAIROTSANIYE HUM HUM HUM PHAT PHAT PHAT SVAHA OM AH HUM

I, Vajrayogini enter union with my katvanga transformed into Chakrasamvara, thus generating innate-born bliss-void wisdom.

Or

From visualizing myself as Vajrayogini, I transform into Great Bliss Heruka. Abandonment of breasts becomes a penis remaining in perfect center of the vagina; the labia become two testicles, the clitoris, the penis itself. The Consort is Vajrayogini, embodiment of all Dakinis,

From emptiness of the Father’s secret place there arises a white HUM that becomes a five-spoked white vajra. Red BYA at the tip becomes a red jewel marked at the tip by yellow BYA. From emptiness of the Mother’s secret place, from AH arises a three-petalled red lotus. White DYA in the center becomes a white corolla, symbolizing the white bodhicitta, marked at the tip by yellow DYA.

OM SHRI MAHA SUKHA BEDZA HE HE RU RU KAM AH HUM HUM PHAT SVAHA

Because of the Father-Mother being in union, the bodhicitta melts. When, from my crown, it reaches the throat, there is bliss. When, from the throat, it reaches the heart, there is supreme bliss. When, from the heart, it reaches the navel, there is extraordinary bliss. When, from the navel, it reaches the tip of the jewel, innate-born

transcendent wisdom is generated and I remain absorbed in samadhi of inseparable bliss and emptiness. By offering that inseparable joining of bliss and emptiness; and by focusing single-pointedly on that offering’s three spheres’ emptiness: I enjoy the secret and suchness offerings. I transform back into the aspect of Venerable Vajrayogini.

OM NAMO BHAGAVATI BEDZA WARAHI BAM HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMO ARYA APARAJITE TRILOKYA MATI VIDYASHWARI HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMA SARVA BUTA BAYA WAHE MAHA BEDZRA HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMO BEDZA SANI AJITE APARAJITE WASHAM KARINETRA HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMO BRAHMANI SHOKANI ROKANI KRODE KARALINI HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMA TRASANI MARANI PRABHEDANIPA RADZAYE HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMO BIJAYE DZAMBHANI TAMBHANI MOHANI HUM HUM PHAT OM NAMO BEDZA WARAHI MAHA YOGINI KAMESHWARI KAGE HUM HUM PHAT

Inside the red double-tetrahedron dharmakaras at my heart, at the center of the moon mandala, from the red BAM and left-circling mantra garland, immeasurable red light beams forth. It purifies all sentient beings’ negative karma and obstructions, makes offerings to all the Buddhas and brings back all of their blessings and miraculous power in the aspect of red light. This dissolves into the BAM and mantra garland, blessing my continuum.

OM OM OM SARVA BUDDHA DAKINIYE BEDZA WARNANIYE BEDZA BAIROTSANIYE HUM HUM HUM PHAT PHAT PHAT SVAHA

From my heart BAM and mantra garland light radiates forth pervading the three realms. The formless realm, in aspect of blue light, dissolves into the upper part of my body, the form realm, in aspect of red light, dissolves into the middle part, and the desire realm, in aspect of white light, dissolves into the

lower part. I also melt into light from above and below and dissolve into the dharmakaras. They dissolve into the moon. That dissolves into the thirty-two Yoginis. They dissolve into the four Yoginis. They dissolve into the Chief Lady of the body mandala. She also melts into light from above and below and

dissolves into the dharmakaras. They dissolve into the moon. That dissolves into the mantra garland. That dissolves into the BAM. That dissolves into the head of the BAM. That dissolves into the crescent moon. That dissolves into the drop. That dissolves into the nada. That as well becomes finer and finer, dissolving into clear-light emptiness.

Within emptiness, instantly, I am Venerable Vajra Yogini. On moon mandalas at my places are: at navel, red OM BAM, Vajravarahi; at heart, blue HAM YOM, Yamani; at throat, white HRIM MOM, Mohani; at forehead, yellow HRIM HRIM, Sachalani; at crown, green HUM HUM, Samtrasani; and at all my limbs, grey PHAT PHAT, Chandika.

OM KHANDAROHI HUM HUM PHAT OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

(The tormas) becomes empty. Within emptiness, from YAM comes wind, from RAM, fire, from AHs, three human-head tripod, and upon it, from AH, a skullcup, broad and vast. Inside it, from OM, KAM, AM, TRAM, and HUM, come the five nectars, and from LAM, MAM, PAM, TAM, and BAM, the five meats, marked by the

letters. Wind blowing and fire blazing make the substances inside the skullcup melt. An upside-down khatvanga arisen from HUM above melts down into the skullcup, turning the nectar the color of mercury. Three stacked garlands of ALI KALI above transform into OM, AH and HUM. Light rays from these hook back

from the hearts of all Tathagatas, Viras and Yoginis throughout space, nectars of transcendent wisdom. Mixing in, they make [the tormas] vast and expanding! OM AH HUM (3x)

PHAIM! Lights rays emanate from my heart BAM inviting from Akanishta to the space before me, Venerable Vajrayogini surrounded by the assembly of Gurus, Yidams, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Viras, Dakinis, Dharmapalas and worldly protectors. HUMs on the Guests’ tongues become three-pronged vajras with straws of light the width of a grain of barley, through which they draw up the essence of the tormas and partake.

By enjoying Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment And the Venerable Mother’s glorious nectar-blessing Thanks to the kindness of a qualified Tantric Master, May I become fit to meditate on the liberating path!

May I protect, like my eyes, all the samayas And vows that I received at that time, And through yogas of sleeping, rising and tasting nectar May I experience my three doors as three joys!

Keeping unfailing Refuge as the jewel of my crown, And the vital welfare of mother-beings in my heart, Washing stains of faults with Vajrasattva’s nectar, May I be cared-for by the compassionate, venerable Guru!

Buddha’s lovely consort is the Outer Dakini, BAM is the supreme Inner Vajra Queen, While Secret Dakini is elemental mind’s shunya-fused-awareness: May I delight in seeing the Dakini of my own face!

Death, bardo and birth, the bases of purification, Brought into paths of the three kayas, this unique method Is the supreme way to ripen path and result realizations: May I succeed in Deity-yoga of self-generation!

World environment as mandala, arisen from EH’s, Inhabitant beings as Yoginis, arisen from BAM, Through samadhi of great bliss Yuganaddha, May all that appears arise as pure appearance!

Generating the thirty-seven channel-drops as Deities, And dissolving the three messengers from all phenomena Of samsara and nirvana into them, and putting on mantric armor, May I be unmoved by outer and inner obstacles!

By doing single-pointed verbal and mental recitation On the mantra-wheel at the heart and navel chakras, And the two ancillary completion stage ‘messengers’, May innate-born bliss-void wisdom be induced!

By lassoes of light emanating from BAM and mantra garland Melting the three realms’ beings and lands into light, Dissolving them into me, and me dissolving in emptiness, May I abide in the sphere of elemental mind’s bliss and void!

Arising from that as the Deity marked by armor, Protected from all obstacles by fierce sounds at the boundaries, May I complete the activities with all of their branches, In which everything appears as three secrets of the Deity!

Thus, through yogas numbering ten directions and single moon, At some point, may the coral-colored Lady of Bliss With vermillion hair and darting amber eyes, Take me right to the city of Vidyadharas!

Having accomplished the sindhura and langali stem, In a charnel ground, by wandering everywhere, May the beautiful Lady, to whose brow My bliss swirl transfers, take me to Dakini Land!

Even if I am not liberated in this life, Then, in bardo, or in just a few lives, By force of focused meditation, recitation, and so on, May the Blissful Lady of Kechara take me into her care!

As, blown by swift wind, my mind, as the BAM, Moves through Avadhuti to the door of Brahma, May I be instantly freed through the path of powa, Mixing with Buddha-Mother’s mind of bliss-emptiness!

Inner Varahi having destroyed clinging vines of duality, May the Dancing Lady who resides in supreme Avadhuti Leave from my door of Brahma into the sphere of space And embrace and sport with the Blood-Drinking Vira!

Through yoga of single-pointed meditation joining The five winds in the ‘sesame-drop’ at lotus of the navel May my mind be satiated by supreme bliss Of the winds entering the central channel!

Through the usual Tummo-Lady-Of-Light’s Smiling and laughing play in Avadhuti, That delights the HAM letter youth completely, May I attain the state of great bliss Yuganaddha!

With dark red RAM centered in the navel’s three channels, And upper and lower winds causing Brahma-fire to blaze, Burning up residue-drops in 72,000 channels, May my Avadhuti be completely filled with pure drops!

From the five-colored drop between my brows, Gone to my crown, May a stream of Bodhichitta, Down to the stamen of my secret lotus Satiate me with four descending and ascending joys!

When struck by five-colored light-rays from that drop, All beings and environments including my body Are transformed into bright rainbow light, once again, May I return to my natural home, the sphere of bliss-emptiness!

May I always cultivate knowledge of my own face, Yuganaddha, beyond intellect, my mind-Yogini, Unproduced, unceasing, non-abiding primordial nature, The innate state of emptiness and clarity, beyond expression!

Having dissolved body-mind and drop into EWAM’s sphere, And attained Dharmakaya of elemental mind’s great bliss, With numberless inconceivable Nirmanakayas, May I protect all these wanderers throughout infinite space!

In short, through power of being unceasingly Protected by Venerable Guru Vajrayogini, May I swiftly complete progress through paths and stages, And thus attain the state of great Kechara!

Through blessings of the unparalleled Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, The truth of non-deceptive, unfailing, interdependence, And power of my pure sense of universal responsibility, May all the points of these pure prayers be accomplished!

May all be auspicious to swiftly receive blessings Of the hosts of illustrious holy Gurus, Like powerful Vajradhara and great Pandit Naropa, Those splendid with perfection, virtue and goodness!

May there be auspiciousness of beauteous Dharmakaya Issuing and collecting all things, living or not, In nature, clear light, ever free of projection, Prajnaparamita, Supreme Mother Of Buddhas!

May all be auspicious for innate-born Sambhogakaya, Exquisite, dazzling body blazing with marks and signs, Enlightened speech of sixty qualities teaching Mahayana, Mind of five wisdoms, non-conceptual, clear and blissful!

May all be auspicious for field-born Nirmanakayas, Multiple diverse form-bodies in various realms,

All acting to fulfill, precisely, the varied wishes Of various trainees, through all sorts of skillful means!

Guru-Vajrayogini, with a color like ruby, One face in smiling, wrathful expression, two arms, Holding knife and skull, two legs, straight and bent, May there be Auspiciousness of supreme mantra-born Dakini!

May there be auspiciousness of You, whose seventy-two Thousand hosts, countless millions of emanations, Dispel all obstacles of the hosts of practitioners, And grant to them all of their desired aims and siddhis!
