Kalachakra Practice - Mantra

HOMAGE

DONG NI NING JE DAG NI CHEN SI SUM KYE TANG CHIG BA ME SHE DANG SHE CHA CHIG BE KU PANDEN TULKUR LA CHAK TSEL

Homage to the Glorious Kalachakra Whose nature is emptiness and compassion Embodying the oneness of subject and object Free of birth and death in the three existences

PRAYER TO RENEW BODHISATTVA VOWS

Lama, Conquerors, and their children Please take heed of me Just as the earlier ones gone to bliss Generated an altruistic intention to become enlightened And dwelt by stages in the learnings of Bodhisattvas So I also for the sake of helping transmigrators Will generate an altruistic intention to become enlightened And train in stages in the learnings of Boddhisattvas.

Now my life is fruitful I have attained a good human existence Today I have been born in the Buddha’s lineage I have become a Buddha child.

Now whatever happens I will act so as not to sully This flawless holy Buddha lineage Initiating actions concordant with this lineage

DEDICATION

For the sake of all sentient beings, my mothers From now on I give away without regret My body, resources, and whatsoever masses Of virtue of the past, present, and the future

MEANING OF THE MANTRA

The first four syllables OM AH HUM HOH of the mantra are the four vajra syllables of the body, speech, mind and wisdom: OM is the vajra of body, AH is the vajra of speech, HUM is the vajra of mind, HOH is the vajra of wisdom. The next two syllables, HAM and KSHAH are the seed syllables for the father

Kalachakra (HAM) and, correspondingly, his consort Vishvamata (KSHAH). The next syllable MA is the basis for the inestimable mansion of Kalachakra. The four syllables LA VA RA YA stand for the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind. HUM PHAT signifies an offering of blessings, with the wish that hearing the mantra and reciting it bring supreme benefit for all sentient beings.
