Prayers and Provenances of Guru Rinpoche

7-LINE PRAYER

HŪṂ! Way in Oḍḍiyan’s northwest
On a blooming lotus bed
Most amazing siddhi found
Lotus Born, you are renowned
Circled round by ḍākinīs
Siddhis follow after you 
Come and grant your blessings, pray

GURU PADMA SIDDhI HŪṂ

Praise

Unbefouled by born-old-sick-dead’s faults
No dad, no mom: sprung from lotus nave
No caste, no clan: buddha bod complete
Padma holding skullcup, homage, praise!

6 VAJRA VERSES

Three times’ buddhas, Guru Rinpoche
Master of all siddhis, blissful lord
Problem-solver, Demon Tamer Spunk
Calculate our pleas, grant blessings please
Outer-inner-secret troubles soothe
Bless our mass of wishes proven true!

SKULL GARLAND PRAYER

HRĪḤ! Long yore, at this eon’s fore
Way in Oddiyan’s northwest
At Dhanakosha’s island
On a blooming lotus bed
Most amazing siddhi found
Lotus Born you are renowned
Circled round by dakinis
Siddhis follow after you
Come and grant your blessings, pray
Rain on this supreme abode
Bestow four empowerments
Clear obstructions, obstacles
Grant the two accomplishments

OṂ ĀḤ HŪṂ VAJRA GURU PADMA Skull Strung Spunk VAJRA SAMAYA JAḤ SIDDhI PhALA HŪṂ ĀḤ!

Eight Manifestations Rolled Into One

We are Lotus Born the White
Vajra right to sky impends
Shakes the brains of troubling sprites
Left at navel holds skull cup
Serves ambrosia up to mouth
Two legs sit in lotus pose
Such the state of empty mind
Khatvanga's concealed in crook
Three prongs cloak the secret wife
Lotus red hat graces head
Buddhas all replete in bod

Donning dharma robes of three 
Padmasambhava ordained
Stake is tied within waist band
Way of mantrika Smarts Crave
Blue silk scarf and cloak bedeck
Character of Lotus King
Mouth agape, eyes open wide
Vajra Ergot demons tame
Sweatband shawl of lion skin
Ties for wrathful Lion's Roar
Crown bump mark beneath the hat
Like our teacher, Blessed One
Tinge of gold in body white
Yogi Sun Ray represents
Yeshe Tsogyal bides to right

Within our own heart center
Eight-spoke golden wheel's letters 

OṂ ĀḤ HŪṂ MAHĀ GURU HŪṂ

From which radiant light rays 
Clar'fy sins and veils of beings
Happ'ly blessed, they're pains do part

OṂ ĀḤ HŪṂ VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDhI HŪṂ

From Sky Dharma

Our Body of Victorious Peace and Wrath’s Tea Offering

From the Profound Cycle of Protector Amitāyus

RAṂ YAṂ KhAṂ has cleansed all taints impure
Gnostic face kapala’s inner core
Taste and smell, colorful amṛta
Gnostic, great ambrosia blessed to touch
Offer to throat’s bode of magis, gods
Make off’rings to heartcore’s gods of peace
Offer to crowncrypt’s bloodguzzler gods
Make off’rings to channels’ braves, angels
Offer massing thoughts in oathbounds' sea
Grant abundance, all accomplishments

Guru Loden Chogsred [Smarts Crave] actually spake as His Eminence, Mingyur Dorje [Immutable Vajra] was thirteen years old in Year Cock, with the Moon in Antares on the twentieth day. Please, would it have become the cause of virtue for souls of the three realms, all sentient beings!

Aspiration

In all lifetimes never separate
From pure gurus, dharma’s glories rouse
Grounds and paths’ qual’ties excel complete
Glorious guru’s level’s quickly reach’d!

Request All Gurus Remain Firm

As the single source of benefit and happiness
May the period of the doctrine long abide
Those who hold the doctrine, specially born
Be firm as vict'ry banners in their bodies, lives!

Glory! As the gurus' bodies, lives hold firm
May all beneath the sky be happy, well
As one another — all of us — collect and purify
Quickly place us on the buddha ground!

The gurus' personae be excellent, we pray
Their best of bodies be long-lived, we pray
Activities expand and flourish, pray
Bless that we will never separate!

We and the infinity of souls
On this root of virtue do depend
Wholly purifying the karma of successive lives
Frees us in the vast, profound, expansive dharma treasury!
