Puja to Amoghasiddhi
(Compiled by Dharmachari Maharatnajyoti, June 2002)
Worship
I have collected delicate wild flowers
I have acquired sweet fragrant incense
I bring candles to dispel the darkness
And hope, blessed Amoghasiddhi
That you will accept my worship
And the gifts that I bear.
I offer everything that pleases me
From soothing caresses
To the most rarefied fragrances.
From the movement of clouds seen from above
To the firmness of the earth that supports me.
All the smells on warm summer breezes –
Azaleas and honeysuckle
The succulent taste of wild strawberries
The sweet song of the first bird in the morning
Sunsets resounding with angels
All these delights I offer.
I offer all that enlivens:
Unquellable rhythms and dances
Spring tides whose waves crash and dwarf me
The thought of the roar of the jaguar
Earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes;
All these powerful forces I offer.
MANTRA AND OFFERINGS:
OM AMOGHASIDDHI AH HUM
Salutation
I acknowledge my arrogance
In thinking I can evoke you as and when I choose
But I will grow
To embody the fearlessness needed
Not to flee
When you choose to appear.
Your wisdom is mysterious
Like the sky at midnight
Into which you soar
With the birdmen’s cymbals sounding
Beneath and all around you,
Your fearlessness means
That you have the ability to achieve anything,
And so you exude compassion,
Vajrapani and Green Tara
Lead those who bow toward you.
Lord Amoghasiddhi
Allow that the sincerity of my worship
May be as true as theirs.
If you should make yourself seen
I feel honour bound to greet you.
How could I turn from your presence;
Your image so long elusive.
I look up at you,
Eyes wide in wonder
And feel tears
As I take in your splendour.
Whatever meaning these tears have,
You smile and your raised hand reply.
Now I feel my heart soften
And now those tears start to fall.
Your whole being glows with compassion
To encourage feelings
That I do not understand.
Expression of Intent
The brave advise action for the good
Despite feeling fear.
I sit at your feet
A reticent wretch
The simplest act of bravery anathema,
I have been listening to your teaching
Unique Amoghasiddhi
And wish for nothing more nor less
Than the insight
That leads to lack of fear altogether,
And so the ability to do anything
Not just the obviously good.
And to live in the realm of all-vajra
So as to know when to act
And how to act
And when to sit resolutely still
And that sitting still
Itself to be the perfect action.
Going for Refuge
I go for refuge to you
Exemplifier of fearlessness.
I go for refuge to you
And you remind me continually
That all that I fear
Is either impossible or inevitable.
I go for refuge to you
You who show me that I am innately compassionate.
I go for refuge to you
Mysterious deep green Buddha.
Lord Buddha Amoghasiddhi,
Determined that I already know
How happiness can be attained,
I have continued to deny
Exactly how I am
Like a jealous god
Grasping at the fruit
On someone else’s tree
And blind to how fortunate
I surely already am.
So confer your triple blessing
That I may turn toward you,
Sweet Amoghasidhi
Scintillating light.
Praise of qualities
Amoghasiddhi,
Known for fearlessness
Thus points out our fears
Whether the apparent vastness that is terror,
Or the triviality
That is embarrassment or doubt.
Our fears it is
That keep us from being
All that we truly are.
Amoghasiddhi,
Known for fearlessness
Thus embodies and expresses
The union of opposites,
The feminine and masculine,
The yellow of earth
And the blue of heaven.
These opposites are transcended
And unified in you.
Amoghasiddhi,
Known for fearlessness,
Thus can be truly spontaneous.
So let me risk all
And let each action
From my heart blossom
And not shy away
From possible mishap
Then surely I too
Will ride spontaneity’s sunbeam.
Amoghasiddhi,
Known for fearlessness,
Thus you are assured
Of unobstructed success.
Entreaty
May all my actions
Be as starlight in day time
May all my actions
Be as rainbows at night.
And may your enigmatic smile
Continue to guide
So like the reflection of the moon
Which rises out of still water
I have no doubt
Where my path lies.
Lord Buddha Amoghasiddhi,
Dispeller of all differences
Confounder of separateness
May your wisdom
Lead to the liberation of all beings.
OM AMOGHASIDDHI AH HUM
