Visualizing the Objects of Refuge
In the space before me stands Guru Chakrasamvara3, father and mother, surrounded by a host of
figures: my root and lineage Gurus, Yidams, Three Jewels of Refuge, and Dharma Protectors.

Taking Refuge

I and all living beings equal in number to the extent of space
From this time forth until the attainment of the essence of Enlightenment
Go for refuge to the glorious sacred Gurus,
We go for refuge to the fully Enlightened Bhagavan Buddhas
We go for refuge to the sacred Dharma teachings,
We go for refuge to the Sangha community of Arya Noble Ones. [3x]

Generating Bodhicitta

Once I have attained the state of a fully Enlightened Buddha
I shall free all beings from the ocean of samsara's suffering.
I shall lead them all to the bliss of full Enlightenment.
It is for these purposes that I shall practice the stages of Vajrayogini's path. [3x]
Requesting Blessings from the Objects Of Refuge
I prostrate to and take refuge in the Gurus and Three Precious Gems
And request you please to bless my mindstream with waves of inspiring strength. [3x]
Dissolving the Objects of Refuge and Receiving Blessings
The objects of refuge before me melt into the form of white, red and dark blue rays of light, which
dissolve into me so that I receive their blessings of body, speech and mind.
Instant Self-Generation as Vajrayogini
Instantly I arise as the Revered Vajrayogini.

Everything becomes Empty. Within a state of Emptiness, from YAM y comes a wind mandala,

[the centre\a red) BAM b [transforms into red human flesh]
arise the five meats, each marked with these syllables.
By the wind moving and the fire blazing, the substances inside the skullcup melt5. On top of these,
from HUM I there arises a white, upside-down khatvanga, which falls into the skullcup and melts,
whereby these substances become nectar, the colour of mercury6.
Above this appear three garland strings of the Sanskrit vowels and consonants stacked on top of
each other.
These transform into OM O AH A HUM H, from which light rays emanate and hook back nectar of
pristine awareness from the hearts of all the Buddhas, Vira-heroes and Yoginis of the ten directions. By this being added to the nectar in the skullcup, the nectar increases and becomes
inexhaustible.

Everything becomes Empty. Within a state of Emptiness, from eight KAMs q= come skullcup
vessels, inside of which, from HUMs I, come the offering substances. In nature they are Empty, in
aspect they have the forms of the individual offering substances. Their function is to confer
distinguished, uncontaminated bliss to be enjoyed by the six cognitive powers.

Heruka Vajrasattva Practice
On the crown of my head on a lotus and moon-disc7, are Vajrasattva father and mother, their
bodies white in colour, with one face and two arms, holding vajra and bell and curved knife and
skullcup, and embracing each other. The father is adorned with the six mudra ornaments and the
mother with the five mudra ornaments. They sit in the vajra and lotus positions. In their heart, on a
moon-disc is a HUM I encircled by the mantra-mala, from which cascades a stream of white
nectar, cleansing me of all sickness, harmful spirits, unwholesome karmas and obstacles.

Fifth Yoga: The Yoga of the Guru

Visualising The Merit Field

In the space before me, arising out of the pristine awareness of non-dual purity and luminous clarity, comes a square celestial mansion complete with four doorways, ornaments, archways and
all the standard parts. In the centre of it, on a jewelled throne supported by eight great lions, on
lotus, moon-disc and sun-disc, sits my kind root Guru, in the form of Guru Buddha Vajradharma8.
He has a red-coloured body, one face and two arms crossed at his heart holding vajra and bell. His
hair is tied up in a topknot and he sits with his legs crossed in the vajra position. In the prime of
his youth, he is at the budding age of sixteen. He is adorned with silk garments and the bone and
jewelled ornaments.

Starting in front of him and circling
around counter-clockwise sit all the
lineage Gurus from Buddha Vajradhara
to my own root Guru. Each is in the
form of Vira Vajradharma, with a redcoloured
body, one face and two arms,
with the right hand playing a damaru
that reverberates with the sound of Bliss
and Emptiness, and the left hand
holding at his heart a skullcup filled
with nectar. With his left elbow he
supports a khatvanga. He sits with his
legs crossed in the vajra position.
Adorned with the six bone ornaments,
each is vibrant in the prime of his youth.
The main figure and all his entourage
have OM O at their foreheads, AH A at
their throats, and HUM I at their hearts.
From the HUMs I at their hearts, light
rays emanate, drawing forth from their
natural abodes the Gurus, Yidams and
hosts of their mandalas' deities, the
Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vira-heroes and
Dakinis, together with hosts of Dharmaprotectors
and Guardians.

OM VAJRA SAMAJA DZA HUM BAM HO
Each becomes the essence of all the objects of refuge.
Prostrating to the Merit Field
I humbly bow to your lotus feet, O Vajra holder, my jewel-like Guru, by whose kindness I
instantly attain a state of Great Bliss9.
Guru Buddha Vajradharma

Presenting the Suchness Offering
I offer you supreme ultimate Bodhicitta: beyond words, thoughts, and expressions;
spontaneous and indivisible; the Empty sphere of all things; free from mental creations of
true existence; great pristine awareness simultaneous with Bliss and without obstructions.

Five Limbs Offering

I go for refuge to the Triple Gem. I confess individually my unwholesome karmas. I rejoice
in the merit of all living beings. I take hold with my mind the perfect state of a Buddha. I go
for refuge until I am Enlightened to the Buddhas, their Dharma teachings, and the supreme
Sangha Assembly, and I do so to attain an Enlightened mind. In order to fulfill the aims of
myself and others, I shall develop a supreme Enlightened Motive, and towards all dear
beings, my invited guests, I shall act with supreme Enlightening Conduct. May I become a
Buddha to benefit all.

Kusali Tsog Offering

My own mind (BAM B) as the Lady of Dakini-Land10,
the size of a mere thumbnail, emerges from the crown
of my head, goes before my root Guru face to face,
and then comes back again. I slice off the top of the
head of my old body, and place it on a tripod of three
human heads which has spontaneously appeared. I
chop up the rest of my flesh, blood and bones, and by
staring at it with wide-open eyes, purify, transform
and increase it into an ocean of nectar.

attain the Dharmakaya. The nature of the three circles
of the offering is non-dual Bliss and Emptiness, beyond
all words, thoughts and expressions.

Receiving the Blessings of the Four Empowerments

From an OM ,±( at my Gurus’ crown chakras are emitted white nectars and rays of light. They
dissolve into my crown chakra, purify the unwholesome karmas and obstacles concerning my
body, and confer the vase empowerment. The blessings of the Gurus’ bodies enter my body.
From an AH , at my Gurus’ throat chakras are emitted red nectars and rays of light. They
dissolve into my throat chakra, purify the unwholesome karmas and obstacles concerning my
speech, and confer the secret empowerment. The blessings of the Gurus’ speech enter my speech.
From a HUM I at my Gurus’ heart chakras are emitted blue nectars and rays of light. They
dissolve into my heart chakra, purify the unwholesome karmas and obstacles concerning my
mind, and confer the wisdom empowerment of pristine awareness. The blessings of the Gurus’
minds enter my mind.

From the three syllables at my Gurus’ three chakras are emitted white, red and blue nectars and
rays of light. They dissolve into my three chakras, purify the unwholesome karmas and obstacles
concerning my body, speech and mind, and confer the fourth empowerment, the word
empowerment. The blessings of the Gurus’ bodies, speech and minds enter my body, speech and

I make requests to you, precious Gurus, you are the essence of all the Buddhas of the three
times. I request you please to bestow on my mind-stream waves of inspiring strength.
[3x]

Receiving the Blessings of the Merit Field
Having been thus requested, the encircling lineage Gurus dissolve into my root Guru16 in the
centre. Then my root Guru as well, out of his affection for me, melts into the form of red light,
enters through the crown of my head, and merges inseparably with my mind, the syllable BAM B
at my heart chakra.

Sixth Yoga: The Yoga Of Generating Oneself As Vajrayogini
Bringing the Dharmakaya into the Path17
This syllable BAM B becomes bigger and bigger until it spreads to the infinitude of space, whereby
all the environment and the beings therein become the nature of Bliss and Emptiness. Once again,
gradually condensing from infinity down, it becomes an extremely minute syllable BAM B which
in stages dissolves up to the nanda. Then even the nanda disappears, becoming the nonobjectifying
Dharmakaya of inseparable Bliss and Emptiness.

Bringing the Sambhogakaya into the Path
Within the sphere of Emptiness in which all appearances have dissolved, there arises what in

(Contemplate)
Bringing the Nirmanakaya into the Path
Within the sphere of Emptiness, from E-E ,*-,* arises a red chö-jung20, inside of which from an AH
, arises a white moon-disc with a shade of red. On top of it, arranged counter-clockwise, stands
the mantra

OM OM OM SARVA BUDDHA DAKINIYE VAJRA VARNANIYE
VAJRA VAIROCHANIYE HUM HUM HUM PHAT PHAT PHAT SVAHA As the syllable BAM B in space, I see the moon-disc and, propelled by the wish to take rebirth in
the centre of it, I descend and stand in the centre of the moon-disc. Light rays emanate from the
moon-disc, the syllable BAM B and the mantra mala, transforming the entire environment and all
beings within it into the nature of Vajrayogini. These gather back and dissolve into the syllable
BAM B together with the mantra mala, whereby they transform into the supporting mandala and
supported deities, which appear fully all at once.
Meditation on the Mandala of Vajrayogini
There is the sixty-four vajra ground, sixty-four vajra fence, tent and canopy. Outside of this blazes
a mass of five-coloured flames swirling counter-clockwise. Just inside this vajra tent are the eight great cemeteries such as "The Ferocious One." In the centre of this is a red chö-jung, with its broad
top facing upwards and its fine point sticking downwards. Except for the front and the back, the
four corners are each marked with a pink bliss swirl, whirling counter-clockwise. Within the chöjung
is an eight-petalled multicoloured lotus.

In the centre of this, on top of a sun-disc, I arise in the form of Vajrayogini. With my outstretched
right leg, I tread on the breasts of red Kalarati. With my bent left leg, I tread on the back of black
Bhairava, who is on his stomach with his head facing backwards. My body is red in colour, with a
brilliance like the fire of the Aeon of Destruction. I have one face, two arms, and three eyes which
look up towards Dakini-land. With my right hand I hold a downwards-facing outstretched curved knife marked with a vajra. With my left I hold up in the air a skullcup filled with nectar, which I
partake of with my upturned mouth. With my left shoulder I support a khatvanga marked with a
vajra, from which hang a damaru, bell and triple banner. My glistening black hair covers my back
down to my waist. In the prime of my youth, my desirous nipples erect, I experience everenhancing
Bliss. I have five dried human skulls adorning my head. I wear a long hanging necklace
of fifty dried skulls. Naked, I am adorned with the five mudra ornaments, standing in the centre of
a blazing fire of pristine awareness.

Seventh Yoga: The Yoga of Purifying Living Beings
At my heart center, inside a red chö-jung, is a moon-disc, on top of which is a red syllable BAM B
encircled with the mantra, from which light rays emanate,radiating out from the pores of my skin.
Reaching all living beings of the six realms, the light rays purify them of both their unwholesome
karmas and delusions, together with their imprints, and transform them all into Vajrayoginis.

Generating the Body Mandala

Generating the Central Vajrayogini and the Four Essence Dakinis

The syllable BAM B in the centre of the moon-disc and chö-jung in my heart chakra divides21 into
the seed syllables of the four elements,
YA RA LA VA
situated on and of the nature of the four branch energy channels of my heart chakra22 which are in
the four directions. These transform, starting from the left23, into: Lama, Khandarohi, Rupini, and
Dakini. In their center, the remaining crescent moon, thigle, and nanda (0) transform into holy
Vajrayogini, the actuality of integration, the extremely subtle spring drop.
Generating the Thirty-two Surrounding Dakinis
In stages beyond them,

- the energy-channels such as "The Unbreakable One" which go to my twenty-four bodily places
such as my hairline and the crown of my head;
- their twenty-four elemental drops that develop as "Tooth," "Nail," and so forth which are
actually indivisible from the channels and elements;
- and the first twenty-four syllables of the mantra, OM, OM, OM, and so forth which are situated
in a circle going counter-clockwise from the East,
all transform and become :

- the eight Virini-heroines of the mind family24, namely: Pracchanda, Chandakshi, Prabhavati,
Mahanasa, Viramati, Kharvari, Lankeshvari and Drumachaya;
- the eight Virini-heroines of the speech family, namely: Airavati, Mahabhairava, Vayuvegi,
Surabhaksha, Shyamadevi, Subhadra, Heyakarna and Khaganana;
- the eight Virini-heroines of the body family, namely: Chakravega, Khandarohi, Shaundini,
Chakravarini, Suvira, Mahabala, Chakravartini and Mahavirya.
They are in actuality the Yoginis who are non-dual with the Vira-heroes at the twenty-four
external sacred places such as Pullir-Malaya.

The energy-channels and constituent energy-drops of my eight gateways such as my mouth, and
the last eight syllables of the mantra, which are of inseparable nature with them, transform into;
Kakasya, Ulukasya, Shvanasya, Shukarasya, Yamadati, Yamaduti, Yamadamshtrini, and
Yamamathani. All of these have the bodily form of the Revered Vajrayogini, complete with all
details and parts.

deities.
All Tathagata Buddhas, I request you to confer empowerment upon me.
Having been thus requested, the eight guardian Dakinis of the doorways and corners scare away
interfering spirits, the Vira-heroes proclaim auspicious verses, the Virini-heroines sing Vajrasongs,
and Rupavajra and so forth make offerings. The principal deity gives permission for the
empowerment to be conferred, and the four mother-consorts together with Vajravarahi holding
vases filled with the five nectars confer the empowerment on the crown of my head.
Just as all the Tathagata Buddhas received initiation as soon as they were born, likewise do
we now confer initiation.

OM SARVA TATHAGATA ABHISHEKATA SAMAYA SHRlYE HUM
Saying this, they confer the empowerment. My entire body becomes filled with nectar, purifying
all my stains. The excess nectar that stays on the crown of my head as a protrusion transforms into
a Vairochana-Heruka with motherly consort adorning my head.

Secret and Suchness Offering to Oneself as Vajrayogini
As Vajrayogini I stand in union with Heruka Chakrasamvara, who has been transformed from my
khatvanga, and generate simultaneous Bliss and Emptiness.
The secret organ of the father transforms from a non-objectifying Yab state of Emptiness into a
white HUM I from which comes a white, five-spoked vajra, and from a red BYA DXó comes a red
jewel head marked at the tip with a yellow BYA DXó The secret organ of the mother transforms from
a non-objectifying Yum state of Emptiness into a red AH , from which comes a red, threepetalled
lotus, and from a white BYA DXó comes a white stamen signifying white Bodhicitta, and
marked at the tip with a yellow BYA DXó.
OM SHRI MAHA SUKHA VAJRA HE HE RU RU KAM
AH HUM HUM PHAT SVAHA.

From the father and mother being in union25 the Bodhicitta melts, and when from the crown of my
head it reaches my throat, I experience Bliss.
When from my throat it reaches my heart - Supreme Bliss.
When from my heart it reaches my navel - Distinguished Bliss.
And when from my navel it reaches the tip of my lotus and his jewel, the Pristine Awareness of
Simultaneous Bliss and Emptiness arises, and I remain in single-pointed concentration on the
inseparability of Bliss and Emptiness.
Focused in single-pointed concentration on the significance of Suchness26, namely that the three
circles of the offering are Empty by nature, and joining this with the inseparability of Bliss and
Emptiness as before, all are satiated with the secret offering and the offering of Suchness.

emanate, cleansing all living beings of their unwholesome karmas and delusions, and making
offerings to all the Buddhas.
They bring back the Buddhas’ blessings in the form of rays of red light, which dissolve into the
syllable BAM B together with the mantra- mala, thus blessing my mindstream with waves of
inspiring strength.

from HUM I there arises a white, upside-down khatvanga, which falls into the skullcup and melts,
whereby these substances become nectar, the colour of mercury37. Above this appear three garland
strings of the Sanskrit vowels and consonants stacked on top of each other.
These transform into OM O AH A HUM H, from which light rays emanate and hook back nectar
of pristine awareness from the hearts of all the Buddhas, Vira-heroes and Yoginis of the ten directions. By this being added to the nectar in the skullcup, the nectar increases and becomes
inexhaustible.

By the merit of this practice may I quickly achieve the Dakini powerful attainment and may I lead
all living beings, without exception, to this state.
At the time of my death, may I be offered flowers, upheld umbrellas and banners, the music of
cymbals and voices and so forth, by Dharma Protectors, Vira-heroes, Virini-heroines and so forth,
and be led to reside in Dakini-land.
May the truth of the valid goddesses, their valid commitments and the supremely valid words
they have spoken, become the causes for us to receive the protection of the goddesses.

Extensive prayer of dedication43 (Optional) Ka chö wang mo
Thus by the force of rightly contemplating
The good developing and liberating paths of the Queen

Mind with five wisdoms, with non-conceptual bliss
and clarity!

Of the Nirmanakaya Field-Born Dakinis
Whose various Form Bodies in various lands
Accomplish with various means the aims
Of various disciples with various inclinations!

Let us all have the great good fortune
Of the Supreme Mantra-Born Dakini,

The ruby-coloured Holy Lady, with her fierce
smile,
Hands holding curved knife and skullcup, legs
extended and drawn in!

Let us all have the great good fortune
Of your seventy-two thousand hosts of countless
millions of emanations.
Who eliminate all obstructions for practitioners,
And bestow their cherished goal,
The Supreme Siddhi of Enlightenment!
