Homage to the gurus, yidams and dakinis,
with their great love may they lead us on the path.
When through confusion I
wander in samsara
on the undistracted light-path of study, reflection,
and meditation,
may the gurus of the sacred lineage go before me;
their consorts the hosts of dakinis behind me;
help me to cross
the bardo's dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha
state.
When through intense ignorance
I wander in samsara,
on the luminous light-path of the
dharmadhatu wisdom,
may Blessed Vairocana go before me,
his
consort the Queen of Vajra Space behind me;
help me to cross the
bardo's dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha state.
When through intense aggression
I wander in samsara,
on the luminous light-path of the
mirror-like wisdom,
may Blessed Vajrasattva go before me,
his
consort Buddha-Locana behind me;
help me to cross the bardo's
dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha state.
When through intense pride
I wander in samsara,
on the luminous light-path of the
wisdom of equality,
may Blessed Ratnasambhava go before me,
his
consort Mamaki behind me;
help me to cross the bardo's dangerous
pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha state.
When through intense desire
I wander in samsara,
on the luminous light-path of
discriminating wisdom,
may Blessed Amitabha go before me,
his
consort Pandaravasini behind me;
help me to cross the bardo's
dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha state.
When through intense envy I
wander in samsara,
on the luminous light-path of action-accomplishing
wisdom,
may Blessed Amoghasiddhi go before me,
his consort
Samaya-Tara behind me;
help me to cross the bardo's dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha state.
When through strong unconscious tendencies
I wander in samsara,
on the luminous light-path of
innate wisdom,
may the vidyadhara warriors go before me,
their
consorts the hosts of dakinis behind me;
help me to cross the bardo's
dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha state.
When through fierce confused projections
I wander in samsara,
on the light-path of abandoning
all fear,
may the Blessed Ones, peaceful and wrathful, go before me,
the host of dakinis, Queens of Space, behind me;
help me to cross
the bardo's dangerous pathway
and bring me to the perfect buddha
state.
May the element of space not rise up as an
enemy,
may I see the Realm of the blue
buddha.
May the element of water not rise up as
enemy,
may I see the Realm of the white buddha.
May the element of earth not rise up as an
enemy,
may I see the realm of the yellow buddha.
May the element of fire not rise up as an
enemy,
may I see the realm of the red
buddha.
May the element of air not rise up as an
enemy,
may I see the realm of the green buddha,
May the rainbow of the
elements not rise up as enemies,
may I see the realm of all the
buddhas.
May the sounds, lights and rays not rise up as enemies,
may I see
the infinite realms of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones.
May I know all the sounds as my own sound,
may I know all the
lights as my own light,
may I know all the rays as my own ray.
May I spontaneously know the bardo as myself,
may I attain the
realms of the three kayas. |
