Akshobhya 7-Minute Concise Sadhana with Chanted Mantras in Sanskrit for Daily Practice
This short 7-minute Sadhana, by Karma Chakmé is ideal as either a daily short merit and meditation session, and on Supreme Reflection Day, on the 23rd of each lunar month (the half moon or waning quarter moon.)
Akshobhya literally means “unshakable.” One of Akshobhya’s great vows is to never become angry until reaching enlightenment. Because of this, we turn to Akshobhya Buddha to calm our anger or negative emotions, of ourselves or others. He can help calm the anger of others, pacifying violence, war, and fighting. He can calm and sooth our own minds.

He is visualized in front of us, cool and reflective blue, like the moon reflected in the water. At his heart is a blue Hum syllable, the seed syllable of our mind.
Recite along with us now, the short Sadhana by Karma Chakmé to help bring Akshobhya’s wisdom and blessings into our lives. If you do not have empowerment, you may still practice, visualizing Akshobhya’s merit field in front of you.
Namo Bhagavate. Akshobhya tathagatayarhate. samyaksam buddhyaya.
Namo Dharmaya
Namo Sanghaya
I visualize the Bhagavān Akshobhya in front of me,
Complete with the major and minor marks and in Nirmāṇakāya aspect,
And seated upon a throne supported by elephants.
At his heart, upon a moon-disc, is a blue hūṃ,
Around which the mantra rotates to the right,
Sending out powerful rays of deep blue light.
Through this, I visualize, the karmic obscurations
Of all sentient beings, especially of those who have passed away,
Disappear entirely, just like frost in sunlight!
Namo ratna trayaya
Om kamkani kamkani rochani rochani trotani trotani trasani trasani pratihana pratihana sarva karma param parani me svaha sattvanancha svaha.

By the power of praising and supplicating Akshobhya Buddha, Lochana Mother, the Vajra Buddha Family, the Three Jewels, the Three Supremes and the Three Roots, wherever I and others reside may negative karma, past downfalls, illness, obstructive spirits, poverty, and fighting be purified and pacified, and may the Dharma and auspiciousness flourish. May I attain Enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Om Akshobhya Hum.
