A Guide to Pronouncing Sanskrit <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The following six points will enable you to learn the pronunciation of most transliterated Sanskrit mantras found in FPMT practice texts: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. S\u0301 <\/span>and S\u0323 <\/span>produce sounds similar to the English \u201csh\u201d in \u201cshoe.\u201d The difference between the two is where the tongue is positioned in the mouth. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. C <\/span>is pronounced similarly to the \u201cch\u201d in \u201cchap.\u201d CH <\/span>is similar but is more heavily aspirated. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. T\u0323<\/span>, T\u0323H<\/span>, D\u0323<\/span>, D\u0323H<\/span>, N\u0323 <\/span>are retroflex letters and have no exact equivalent in English. These sounds are made by curling the tongue towards the front section of the palate. They correspond roughly to the sounds \u201ctra\u201d (T\u0323<\/span>), aspirated \u201ctra\u201d (T\u0323H<\/span>), \u201cdra\u201d (D\u0323<\/span>), aspirated \u201cdra\u201d (D\u0323H<\/span>), and \u201cnra\u201d (N\u0323<\/span>). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. AllconsonantsfollowedbyanH<\/span>areaspirated:KH<\/span>,GH<\/span>,CH<\/span>,JH<\/span>,TH<\/span>, DH<\/span>, PH<\/span>, BH<\/span>. Note that TH <\/span>and T\u0323H <\/span>are pronounced like the \u201ct\u201d in \u201ctarget\u201d and \u201ctr\u201d in \u201ctrap\u201d respectively, not like the \u201cth\u201d in \u201cthe.\u201d The PH <\/span>is pronounced like the \u201cp\u201d in \u201cpartial,\u201d not like the \u201cph\u201d in \u201cpharaoh.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Long vowels with a dash above them (A\u0304<\/span>, I\u0304<\/span>, U\u0304<\/span>, \u1e5a\u0304<\/span>, and \u1e36\u0304) <\/span>and take approximately double the amount of time to pronounce versus their short counterparts (A<\/span>, I<\/span>, U<\/span>, R\u0323<\/span>, and L\u0323)<\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. M\u0323 <\/span>indicates a nasal sound. At the end of a word it is generally pronounced as an \u201cm.\u201d H\u0323 <\/span>indicates an \u201ch\u201d-sounding aspiration. R\u0323 <\/span>is pronounced similar to the \u201cri\u201d in \u201ccringe.\u201d N\u0307 <\/span>is pronounced similar to the \u201cng\u201d in \u201cking.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Six-Session Guru Yoga <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Extensive Version <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Those who have received a yoga or highest yoga tantra initiation must definitely practice the six-session guru yoga, with which even the profound instructions known as the \u201cGolden Teachings of Tibet\u201d cannot compete in the slightest. The way to engage in the practice is as follows: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    NAMO GURU MAN\u0303JUGOS\u0323A\u0304YA <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Having respectfully prostrated to the lotus feet of
    \nThe glorious guru, Lord Vajradhara,
    \nI will explain an excellent method for purifying the vows <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    and commitments
    \nIn accordance with the tantras and the teachings of <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    the venerable guru. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Any individual who has received an initiation into a great man\u0323d\u0323ala belonging to one of the two higher classes of tantra and who continues to possess the tantric vow in their continuum, must review the root and branch commitments1 and vows daily. In particular, they must keep the commitments of the five families in six sessions. If this is not done, one incurs the fault of an unspeakable infraction.2 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The <\/i><\/span>Vajra Peak Tantra <\/span>states:3 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Do the recitation every day\u2014
    \nThree times, day and night.
    \nWhenever the yogi transgresses this,
    \nHe incurs the fault of an unspeakable infraction. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Because of this, bodhisattvas who wish to engage in the activities of secret mantra must keep the commitments of service, eating, and guarding as taught by the great Vajradhara. For extensive explanations of these, see the Omniscient Je Tsongkhapa\u2019s <\/i><\/span>Commentary on the Root Downfalls<\/span>,4 his <\/i><\/span>Commentary on the Fifty Verses of Guru Devotion<\/span>, the <\/i><\/span>Festival of the Play of Yoga<\/span>, the <\/i><\/span>Six-Session Guru Yoga<\/span>, and so forth.5 Here, the meaning of all these is formulated in verse so that beginners can conveniently engage in the practice of the six sessions. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A1] I take refuge until I am enlightened
    \nIn the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Supreme Assembly. By my merit of generosity and so forth,
    \nMay I become a buddha in order to benefit all living beings. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    (3x) <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This covers the refuge advice instructing one to take refuge three times during the day and three times at night. It also fulfills three of the commitments of Vairocana\u2014those of taking refuge in the Buddha, taking refuge in the Dharma, and taking refuge in the San\u0307gha. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A2] Once freed from attachment for the close and aversion for the distant, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus is immeasurable equanimity and the giving of fearlessness. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    May all sentient beings attain extraordinary sublime bliss. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus is immeasurable love and the giving of love. This fulfills two of the commitments of Ratnasambhava. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    May they be freed from the ocean of unbearable suffering <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus is immeasurable compassion. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    And may they never be separated from the sacred bliss of liberation. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus is immeasurable joy. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A3] From now until I attain buddhahood,
    \nI will hold the mind wishing to attain complete enlightenment, In order to free all living beings from the fears of cyclic <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    existence and peace,
    \nAnd will not abandon it even at the cost of my life. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus fulfills the instruction that following the ritual of wishing bodhicitta, you must generate that same mind every day and night in six sessions. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    If you wish to take the vow of engaging bodhicitta, imagine that you repeat the following after the objects of refuge\u2014the victorious ones and their children: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A4] Gurus, victorious ones, and your children, please listen to me. Just as the previous <\/b><\/span>sugatas <\/b><\/i><\/span>generated bodhicitta
    \nAnd practiced the bodhisattva trainings in stages,
    \nSo will I too, in order to benefit beings, generate bodhicitta And practice the bodhisattva trainings in stages. <\/b><\/span>(3x) <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    By reciting this three times, take the vow of engaging bodhicitta, and then dissolve the objects of refuge. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A5] Having excellently attained a human existence,
    \nMy life has now borne fruit.
    \nToday I have taken birth in the family of the buddhas And have become a buddha\u2019s child. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus constitutes the meditation on joy following the generation of bodhicitta. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A6] From now on, by every means possible,
    \nI will apply myself to actions that are in accord with this <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    family.
    \nNever will I sully
    \nThis flawless and pure family. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Thinking thus constitutes a meditation on mindfulness. These two verses [above] fulfill the instructions given in relation to wishing bodhicitta, namely, that one must contemplate the benefits of generating bodhicitta in six sessions. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A7] In the space before me on an enchanting jeweled throne, Lotus, sun, and full moon,
    \nSits my root guru, the all-pervading Vajradhara.
    \nHis body is blue, with one face and two arms. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    He holds a vajra and bell and embraces the mother similar to himself. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Brilliant with the marks and signs, he is adorned with numerous jewel ornaments <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    And wears garments of enchanting divine silks.
    \nAll sufferings are dispelled by merely remembering him. With a nature encompassing all supreme objects of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    refuge,
    \nHe is seated in the vajra posture and his three places are <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    marked by the three syllables.
    \nLight rays from the <\/b><\/span>HU\u0304M\u0323
    \n<\/b><\/span>Invite Guru Vajradhara from his actual abode; <\/b><\/span>JAH\u0323 HU\u0304M\u0323 VAM\u0323 HOH\u0323<\/b><\/span>\u2014they become nondual. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This fulfills a commitment of Aks\u0323obhya\u2014that of honoring your teacher. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A8] I bow to the lotus feet of the vajra-holder, The guru who is like a jewel,
    \nThrough whose kindness
    \nThe state of great bliss dawns in an instant. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This protects the mind from committing the first of the bodhisattva misdeeds6 and constitutes the act of prostration in accordance with what is stated in the <\/i><\/span>Fifty Verses of Guru Devotion<\/span>: \u201cWith supreme faith, three times…\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This is the way for those who have received a mother tantra initiation to perform the <\/i><\/span>Eight Lines of Praise <\/span>to the deity and guru. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    11 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A10] I present an ocean of various clouds of offerings\u2014 Outer, inner, and secret,
    \nArising from the owned and unowned,
    \nActually arranged and mentally emanated. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This is the way to fulfill the offering commitment of Amoghasiddhi. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A11] The body, speech, and mind of myself and others as well as our wealth and collections of virtue of the three times, An excellent and precious man\u0323d\u0323ala together with a mass <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    of Samantabhadra offerings,
    \nI visualize and offer it to the guru, <\/b><\/span>yidam<\/b><\/i><\/span>, and the Three <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Jewels.
    \nThrough the force of your compassion, please accept <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    them and grant me blessings. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    IDAM\u0323 GURU RATNA MAN\u0323D\u0323ALAKAM\u0323 NIRYA\u0304TAYA\u0304MI <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This fulfills the instructions given in the <\/i><\/span>Fifty Verses of Guru Devotion <\/span>that one should offer a man\u0323d\u0323ala to the guru at the three times. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A12] You are all the sugatas of the three times and ten directions, Manifesting as a saffron-robed monk in order to tame <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    beings through whatever means necessary,
    \nAnd thus you perform the activities of the victorious ones <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    in countless realms.
    \nTo my precious guru, I make requests. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A13] Well praised by Vajradhara as the holiest field
    \nFor those of inferior minds,
    \nYou surpass all the infinite spheres of victorious ones. To my precious guru, I make requests. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    These verses concern the way in which to rely on the virtuous friend through thought. The first verse generates faith through remembering the good qualities of the guru and the latter verse, after remembering his kindness, generates respect. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    [A14] All supreme and common attainments without exception Depend upon correct reliance on you, my protector. Seeing this, I completely give up my body and even <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    my life;
    \nPlease bless me to practice only that which pleases you. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This refers to relying on the guru through one\u2019s actions. In brief, having considered and recalled the advantages of relying on a guru and the disadvantages of not doing so, [the above three verses] fulfill the commitment of correct reliance on the guru through both thought and action. This is the essence of the way to rely on the virtuous friend and of the way in which to guard the commitment as taught in the <\/i><\/span>Fifty Verses of Guru Devotion<\/span>. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. [B1] \u00a0Requested in this way, my supreme guru Comes to my crown\u2014<\/b><\/span>SAMA\u0304JAH\u0323<\/b><\/span>. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. [B2] \u00a0Once more he joyfully becomes of one taste with me. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Bring to mind whatever ascertainment of emptiness you have and briefly set your mind in equipoise on the emptiness of true existence.8 This is the definitive meaning of guru yoga. You collect the accumulation of wisdom; it is the supreme protection and it is the way to guard against the eleventh root downfall. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B3] With the pride of Vajrasattva, I embrace Bhagavat\u012b <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      While holding the secret vajra\u2014the symbol of innate great bliss, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      And the secret bell\u2014the symbol of freedom from the elaborations of inherent existence. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Contemplating this is the way to fulfill the commitment of Aks\u0323obhya\u2014 that of the vajra, bell, and mudra\u0304, according to highest yoga tantra. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      13 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      14 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B4] From now on I give away without regret
      \nMy body and likewise my wealth
      \nAnd all my heaps of accumulated virtue of the three times In order to benefit all mother sentient beings. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Thinking this increases generosity and is the practice of giving of the children of the victorious ones. The giving of your body and wealth is the giving of material goods and the giving of your roots of virtue is the gift of Dharma. These fulfill the remaining two commitments of Ratnasambhava. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      At this point, if you have time, at least do a summary review of your commitments and vows in the following expanded manner. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      If you possess the pra\u0304timoks\u0323a vow of a fully ordained monk, first review these.9 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Then, review the eighteen bodhisattva root downfalls: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B6] (1) Praising myself and criticizing others, (2) not giving Dharma or wealth, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (3) Not accepting apologies, (4) abandoning the Maha\u0304ya\u0304na, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (5) Stealing the property of the Three Jewels,
      \n(6) abandoning Dharma, (7) taking away saffron robes, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (8) Committing one of the five actions of immediate repercussion, (9) holding wrong views, (10) destroying towns and so forth, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (11) Teaching emptiness to the untrained, (12) turning others away from complete enlightenment, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (13) Abandoning the vows of pra\u0304timoks\u0323a, (14) criticizing the s\u0301ra\u0304vakas\u2019 vehicle, (15) telling a profound lie, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (16) Taking the property of the Three Jewels, (17) creating bad rules, and (18) giving up bodhicitta. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (1) Not seeing these as faults, (2) not giving up the wish to engage in them, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (3) Doing them with delight and satisfaction, and (4) having no shame or consideration\u2014 <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      All four binding factors must be present to commit sixteen of these root downfalls, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      But for holding wrong views and giving up bodhicitta, they are not needed. I will guard myself from these eighteen root downfalls. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Review the tantric root downfalls: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B7] (1) Disparaging the guru, (2) disregarding the precepts, (3) Criticizing vajra brothers and sisters, (4) abandoning <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      love for living beings,
      \n(5) Giving up wishing and engaging bodhicitta, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (6) criticizing the Dharma of su\u0304tra or tantra, (7) Expounding secrets to those who are unripe, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (8) treating the aggregates with contempt, (9) Abandoning emptiness, (10) being friendly to <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      the malicious,
      \n(11) Not recollecting emptiness, (12) causing the faithful <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      to lose their faith,
      \n(13) Not keeping the commitments, and (14) criticizing <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      women\u2014
      \nI will guard myself from these fourteen root downfalls <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      even at the cost of my life. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Review the branch commitments: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B8] As branch commitments, I will abandon the four root negative actions, alcohol, and other negativities; <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Rely on holy protector-gurus; honor friends; Maintain the ten virtues;
      \nAbandon the causes for renouncing the Maha\u0304ya\u0304na, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      belittling deities, and stepping over holy objects\u2014 I will guard all commitments without exception. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      15 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      16 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      A summary of the infractions: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B9] (1) Relying on an unqualified mudra\u0304, (2) engaging in union without the three discriminations, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (3) Showing secret substances to an unsuitable vessel, (4) fighting or quarreling during a circle of tsog, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (5) Giving inappropriate answers to the questions of the faithful, (6) staying more than seven days in the home of a s\u0301ra\u0304vaka, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (7) Boasting that I am a yogi, although I am not, (8) teaching Dharma to the faithless, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (9) Engaging in man\u0323d\u0323ala rites without having completed a nearing retreat and so forth, and (10) needlessly breaking the pra\u0304timoks\u0323a and bodhisattva vows\u2014 <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      I will genuinely guard myself from these as well as from the infractions that are in contradiction to the <\/b><\/span>Fifty Verses of Guru Devotion. <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      The vows of the uncommon commitments taught in the mother tantras: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B10] (1) I will perform all activities with the left, (2) abandon denigrating [women] and (3) make offerings to them, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (4) Abandon entering into meditative union with someone who is unqualified, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (5) Not be separated from the view when engaging in union, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      (6) Maintain unchanging faith in the path of desire, (7) Not forsake the two mudra\u0304s,
      \n(8) Strive principally in inner and outer methods, (9) Not release <\/b><\/span>kunda<\/b><\/i><\/span>,10 cultivate pure conduct, And (10) abandon disgust when taking bodhicitta. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      If one doesn\u2019t have the time to do the above review, one should at least cultivate a mindfulness and vigilance of the three sets of vows in the following way: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B11] I will never transgress, even in my dreams,
      \nThe most minor of the thoroughly pure trainings Of the Pra\u0304timoks\u0323a, Bodhisattva, or Vajra Vehicles. I will practice in accordance with the teachings of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      the Victorious One. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Briefly reflecting like this cultivates a mindfulness and vigilance of the three sets of vows and fulfills the vow to avoid improper behavior\u2014one of the three commitments of Vairocana concerning ethics. It also fulfills the commitment of Amoghasiddhi to fulfill all the vows. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [B12] By holding well, as the Victorious One intended,
      \nAll the holy Dharmas of scripture and realization Gathered in the three vehicles and the four classes of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      tantra without exception,
      \nI will free all living beings through the appropriate methods. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Thinking [as described in the first three] lines fulfills the three commitments of the lotus [family of Amita\u0304bha], which are to fulfill the outer Dharmas of <\/i><\/span>kriya\u0304 <\/span>and <\/i><\/span>carya <\/span>tantra, the secret Dharmas of yoga tantra and highest yoga tantra, and the three su\u0304tra vehicles. This also fulfills [the commitments] of Vairocana to gather virtuous dharma. Thinking [as stated in the last line] fulfills the ethics of Vairocana\u2014that of working for the benefit of sentient beings. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      It is said that one should do the six-session guru yoga in this way three times during the day and three times during the night. According to the recitation tradition of the instruction lineage, in order to perform it [three times] in succession, do as follows: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [In the first round] recite once from \u201cI take refuge until I am enlight- ened\u201d until \u201cPlease bless me to practice only that which pleases you.\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Then [in the second round] again recite from \u201cI take refuge until I am enlightened\u201d until \u201cNever will I sully this flawless and pure family.\u201d Then recite from \u201cI bow to the lotus feet of the vajra-holder\u201d until \u201cPlease bless me to practice only that which pleases you.\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Then [in the third round] again recite from \u201cI take refuge until I am enlightened\u201d until \u201cPlease bless me to practice only that which pleases you,\u201d [as in the second round above]. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      17 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      18 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      In the latter two rounds, the sets of verses beginning with \u201cI take refuge until I am enlightened\u201d and \u201cGurus, victorious ones, and your children, please listen to me\u201d only need to be recited once. Since you have already generated the guru in front of yourself, you do not need to recite the verse starting with \u201cIn the space before me on an enchanting jeweled throne\u201d and ending with \u201cthey become nondual.\u201d You also only need to recite the <\/i><\/span>Eight Lines of Praise <\/span>in the first round. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      [After completing the recitation of the above], the lines \u201cRequested in this way, my supreme guru comes to my crown\u2014<\/i><\/span>SAMA\u0304JAH\u0323<\/i><\/span>\u201d only need to be recited once. Then recite from \u201cOnce more he joyfully….\u201d to \u201cI will free all living beings through the appropriate methods\u201d in succession three times. The review of the individual vows, however, only needs to be done in the first recitation. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Having done the above three times in succession, perform the following dedications and aspirational prayers: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. [C1] \u00a0Through the force of the pure virtue that has come from this practice, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>In all my lives, may I never go beyond the boundaries Established by Lord Vajradhara
        \nAnd may I complete the graduated path of the two stages. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      2. [C2] \u00a0In brief, through the accumulation of
        \nHowever much pure virtue has been gathered here,
        \nMay I quickly be reborn in the jewel treasury of S\u0301ambhala And then complete the stages of the highest path. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      3. [C3] \u00a0In all lives, may I never be parted from the sublime guru And always enjoy the glory of the Dharma.
        \nHaving thoroughly completed the excellent qualities of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>the grounds and paths,
        \nMay I quickly attain the state of Vajradhara. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Thus, seal the practice with dedications and aspirational prayers. This is from the teachings of the supreme scholar Ngulchu. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        Six-Session Guru Yoga Single Verse <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        I take refuge in the Guru and the Three Jewels.
        \nWith myself visualized as the deity holding vajra and bell, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        I make offerings.
        \nI uphold the Dharma of su\u0304tra and mantra and restrain myself <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        from all misdeeds,
        \nGather all virtuous dharma, and engage in the benefit of all <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        living beings through the four types of giving. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        When recited three times at night and so forth, this is said to be a permissible abbreviated way to fulfill the requirement of reciting the six- session guru yoga. However, if one such single verse is able to contain within it the nineteen commitments of the five families and so forth, this would be very astonishing indeed. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        As this verse appears a little bit unsuitable to fulfill the requirement of performing the guru yoga, those practitioners of lower intelligence who are incapable of recitation and meditation and are unable to do the extensive version of the six-session guru yoga can use the following extremely abbreviated yet suitable way to fulfill the commitment to practice the six-session guru yoga composed by Ngulchu Jedrung Lozang Tenzin: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        19 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        20 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        Abbreviated Version <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        From my heart, I take refuge in the Three Jewels.
        \nI will free all living beings from suffering and set them in <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        permanent bliss.
        \nFor this reason, in order to attain complete enlightenment, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        I will generate bodhicitta
        \nAnd then train in the conduct of the children of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        the victorious ones. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        In the space before me on a throne, lotus, sun, and moon, Is my root guru, the all-pervading lord Vajradhara.
        \nHe has a blue-colored body, holds a vajra and bell,
        \nAnd embracing Vajradha\u0304tvi\u0304s\u0301vari\u0304, sports in innate bliss. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        His three places are marked with the three letters.
        \nLight from the <\/b><\/span>HU\u0304M\u0323 <\/b><\/span>invites the wisdom beings\u2014they become <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        of one taste. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        I prostrate at the lotus feet of the vajra-holder
        \nAnd present oceans of offering clouds of outer, inner, and <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        secret offerings;
        \nThe mountain; the continents; a precious treasure vase; <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        the sun; and the moon
        \nTogether with unsurpassable Samantabhadra offerings. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        All supreme and common attainments without exception Depend upon correct reliance on you, my protector. Seeing this, I completely give up my body and even my life; Please bless me to practice only that which pleases you. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        Requested in this way, my guru comes to my crown. He dissolves into me and we become inseparably of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        one taste. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        As Vajrasattva embracing Bhagavat\u012b,
        \nI hold vajra and bell, and sport in innate bliss.
        \nFor the sake of my mothers, I give away without regret My residence, body, wealth, and collections of virtue of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        the three times. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        I will not abandon, even at the cost of my life,
        \nThe boundaries of the pra\u0304timoks\u0323a, bodhisattva, and secret <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        mantra vows.
        \nI will guard well the Dharma of scripture and realization <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        condensed into the three vehicles and four classes of <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        tantra
        \nAnd thoroughly free living beings through methods. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        I dedicate this virtue to the fulfillment of the prayers made by the tatha\u0304gatas of the three times and their children, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        And for the upholding of the sacred Dharma.
        \nThrough the force of the blessings of the Three Jewels and <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        the infallibility of dependent arising,
        \nMay my good prayers be fulfilled and may I quickly attain <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        the state of a buddha. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        Like the extensive version of the six-session guru yoga, the above contains the essential points of the commitments in their entirety. As it has few words and is easy to engage in, you should practice this specific version of the abbreviated six-session guru yoga. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        The well-known extensive version of the six-session guru yoga also has few words and is also easy to engage in; therefore, a more abbreviated <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        21 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        22 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        practice is not needed. However, these days people are preoccupied with engaging in unimportant activities and do not even have time to recite the extensive version, and thus simply abandon the practice altogether. Some have very dull sense powers and some, being old and ill, are unable to read at all. It appears some are also unable to understand [these texts], and instead have to make do with seeking protection through being taught dha\u0304ran\u0323i\u0304s and mantras. Motivated by love, I composed this [abbreviated practice] in order to protect these people from vajra hell. If, however, you have the ability to do the extensive version, I request you with folded hands that you certainly never do the elementary abbreviated version.11 <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        The complete instructions on the way to practice the extensive and abbreviated six-session guru yogas are thus arranged here in a convenient manner. At the request of Lozang Dorje, a monk of Ganden Chokhor Monastery, who offered a divine scarf and man\u0323d\u0323ala together with the three supports, this work was compiled together by the one with the <\/i><\/span>tulku<\/span>-name of \u201cPhabongkha\u201d at Chamdo Geden Jampaling. May benefit to living beings increase! <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
