On the crown of my head, upon a lotus and moon


LA MA DOR SEM YAB YUM GYI

Is Guru Vajrasattva father and mother

T'HUG KAY NGAG LAY DUD TSII GYUN


From the mantra at their heart center, a stream of deathless nectar

flows downward, purifying my sickness, demonic energies, negative actions, and
obscurations.


{Recite the hundred-syllable mantra.}

Vajrasattva melts into light, and dissolves into me.

The purelands of the three kayas, my enjoyments,

And cloud-masses of outer, inner, and secret offerings:

KON CHHOG TSA WA SUM LA BUL


I offer these to the Three Jewels and the Three Roots --

ZHEY NAY CHHOG T'HUN NGO DRUB TSOL


Through accepting these, please bestow supreme and ordinary spiritual
attainments!

In the space in front of me, amidst a vast expanse of rainbow light,

TSA WAY LA MA T'HOD TRENG TSAL


Is my Root Guru, in the form of Padma T'hod Treng Tsal.


GYUD SUM RIG DZIN GYA TSO KHOR


Surrounded by an oceanic retinue of the awareness-holders of the Three
Lineages,

KYAB KUN DU PAY NGO WOR ZHUG

He abides as the essence and embodiment of all sources of refuge.

{Practice the Phase of Approach with the Seven-Line Prayer and the Vajra Guru
Mantra.}


{Finally:}


NAY SUM TRU SUM OD ZER GYIY


From the three syllables at the Guru's three places, light-rays issue forth

JIN LAB WANG DANG NGO DRUB T'HOB


And I receive blessings, empowerments, and spiritual attainments.

LA MA OD ZHU RANG LA T'HIM


The Guru melts into light and dissolves into light

YER MEY MA CHO LHAG PAR ZHAG

And I completely relax within uncontrived inseparability.


Dedicate the merit.
