An Aspiration Prayer of the Three Yogas by Minling Terchen Rigdzin Gyurmé Dorje Lamas and hosts of yidam deities,
turn your attention towards us! These positive actions we have
accomplished through our efforts today, All the merit we accumulate throughout
the three times and all the virtue that exists, All gathered together, we now
dedicate towards great and unsurpassed awakening! From now until we reach the heart
of enlightenment, May we be born in a good family,
be intelligent and free from pride, May we have great compassion
and devotion to the teacher, And confidently follow the glorious
vajra vehicle! Matured through empowerment and
keeping the commitments of samaya, On the path of the two stages[1] may we complete ‘approach’ and ‘accomplishment’, May we attain the vidyadhara
levels[2] without difficulty, And easily achieve the two types
of accomplishment! May all appearances be realized
as perfect, the mandala of the Net of Magical Illusion, All sounds as the inexpressible
sound of mantra, All movement of mind as uncompounded
self-knowing awareness, And may we realise the great
bliss that is beyond union and separation! Without rejecting impairments
and breakages, thoughts and obscurations, may they be purified in their own state. Through realizing outer, inner
and secret to be inseparable, may the samaya commitments be fulfilled. May whatever arises in the mind
be liberated by itself in the vast expanse of Kuntuzangpo, May the lower realms be emptied
from their depths, and may we realize the equality of samsara and nirvana! Within the Great Sphere the kayas
and buddha-fields are perfectly complete, Within the Great Samaya the concepts
of abandoning and adopting are purified, Within the Great All-Pervasiveness
the knot of hope and fear is loosed, Within the Great Perfection may
we actualize the Dharmakaya! May the blessings of the three
lineages[3] enter our hearts, And the secret path of the Net
of Magical Illusion be perfected in our minds. Through the spontaneous accomplishment
of the four activities, May we liberate the infinity
of beings! May the mandalas of peaceful
and wrathful emanations guide us with predictions, The dakinis protect us as their
own child, And the dharma protectors and
guardians dispel all obstacles; May all our aspirations be fulfilled! May the teachings of the buddhas
flourish and spread far and wide, May the aspirations of all the
holders of the teachings be fulfilled, May each and every being be freed
from all adversity, And may they receive all that
is excellent just as they desire! Composed by Rigdzin Gyurme Dorje. [1] This could refer to the generation and completion phases, or to
the conceptual phase of yogic practices related to the subtle channels, inner air and essences and the non-conceptual phase
of the actual nature of clear light. It could also refer to the two stages of Dzogchen practice, tögal, the stage with appearances
(snang bcas), and trekchö, the stage without appearances (snang med). See Lagla Sönam Chödrup, Collected
Works, vol. 3 p. 366. [2] i.e., the four levels of a vidyadhara: fully matured vidyadhara,
vidyadhara with power over life, mahamudra vidyadhara and spontaneously accomplished vidyadhara. According to Lagla Sönam
Chödrup the first two correspond to the path of seeing, the third to the path of meditation and the fourth to the path of
no-more-learning. [3] The mind-direct transmission of the victorious ones, the sign
transmission of the vidyadharas and the oral transmission of practitioners. |
