Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava 8-Minute Practice Sadhana and Chanted Mantras for Guru Rinpoche Day

Feature Contents

    Here follows a Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava Sadhana for GanaPuja Days or any day. May all beings benefit.

     

    Namo! To Guru Yidam Padmasambhava who embodies all sugatas and has the nature of the Three Jewels, I and all sentient beings of the six realms take refuge until Enlightenment.

    In the Three Supremes, Vajrasattva, Tara, and Ushnisha Vijaya, in the Three Jewels, Buddha, Dharma, and Supreme Assembly, in the Three Roots Guru, Yidam and Dakini, I take refuge until Enlightenment. To the Guru Yidam, Padmasambhava, the essence of all Jewels and Roots, I take refuge until Enlightenment. By the merit of my generosity and other deeds, may I attain Buddhahood for the sake of all beings.

    Guru Yidam Padmasambhava and your assembly of deities, please come here and be seated on this throne of lotus, sun and moon. I humbly bow with body, speech and mind, and render outer, inner and supreme offerings.

    Instantly, The entire merit field appears before me. In front of me is the Lotus Born, with right hand holding a vajra at his heart, and left holding a cup filled with nectar. His head is adorned with a lotus hat and vulture’s feather. He is robed in brocade, red silk Dharma robes and a blue gown. He is majestically poised in vajra position and surrounded by the Eight manifestations of Guru Rinpoche, and an entourage of spiritual heroes and dakinis. Light emanates from his heart and blesses me and all beings.

    I prostrate with complete purity to Guru Yidam Padmasambhava, to the Three Supremes, the Three Jewels and the Three Roots and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who dwell in the ten directions and three times.

    I offer real and imagined flowers, incense, butter lamps, scent, food, music, and so forth. Supreme assembly, please accept it.

    I confess all my faults from beginningless time until now, committed with a mind under the sway of the afflictions, such as the ten nonvirtues.

    I rejoice in whatever merit has been accumulated in the three times by Hearers, Solitary Realizers, Bodhisattvas, ordinary beings, and others.

    Please turn the wheel of the Dharma according to the intentions and mental dispositions of sentient beings.

    Until Samsara is emptied, please do not pass into Nirvana but look with compassion upon sentient beings that are drowning in the ocean of suffering.

    May whatever merit I have accumulated become the cause of Enlightenment for the benefit of sentient beings.

    May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May they be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. May they not be separated from the sublime happiness that is free from suffering. May they rest in the great equanimity that is free of the duality of attachment and aversion.

    Thus one gathers the accumulations through prostrating, offering, confessing, and generating the two types of bodhichitta of the preliminaries.

    Now I accumulate wisdom, compassion and activity with the mantra of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava.

    Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum

    By the power of praising and supplicating the Guru Rinpoche, the Three Jewels, the Three Supremes and the Three Roots, wherever I and others reside may illness, obstructive spirits, poverty, and fighting be pacified, and may the Dharma and auspiciousness flourish.

    May I attain Enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings.

    We dedicate the merit of this presentation to the benefit of all sentient beings.

    To demonstrate Buddha's compassion and wisdom is for all classes of beings, even the Hungry Ghosts and ghosts have a "Muni" who is ready to teach them. Jvalamukhadeva, is Shakyamuni's emanation as the Muni of the Hungry Ghost Realm. You can view the Hungry Ghost realm as a metaphor for greed in humans, or a subjectively real. In dualistic Buddhist philosophy, both views are correct. (See Inset video below of the Six Munis if you're interested in Buddha's six muni forms that help all classes of beings.).
