Awakening Through Vajrayana Visions
The talk explores the practice of Vajrayana visualizations as a path to enlightenment, emphasizing the importance of intentionality and the absence of accidental attainment. Key concepts include generating compassion beyond dualistic extremes, the role of the Guru in Vajrayana, and the nature of enlightenment as beyond dualistic extremes represented by the state of Dojichang or Vajradara. Discussion extends to sadhana practices, the intrinsic nature of phenomena as pure and empty (shunyata), and detailed visualizations involving deities, palaces, and symbolic offerings. There is a strong emphasis on the necessity of repeated practice, the gathering of merits, and the purification of obscurations through specific rituals.
- Dojichang (Vajradara): Represents the highest state of Buddha enlightenment, which practitioners strive to attain beyond dualistic extremes.
- Shunyata (Emptiness): Repeatedly mentioned as the fundamental understanding of all phenomena, laying the foundation for generating deity palaces from emptiness.
- Guru Yoga Practice: Emphasized as a core practice in Vajrayana, including the visualization of the lineage of Gurus and the root Guru representing the inherent Buddha nature.
- Mandala Offerings: Described as an essential practice for accumulating the merit, including the rich symbolism involved in the offerings.
- Yidam (Tutelary Deities): Central to the practice, where visualizations include detailed and transformative attributes and relationships to the practitioner.
- Lineage and Prayer Invocations: Critical in reinforcing the practitioner's connection to the teachings and aspiration to reach advanced stages of practice.

[31:40]
Jantangde means to invoke. Jantangde means to invoke. Jantangde means to invoke. Afterwards, reabsorbed into each individual these assemblies. They're emanating, invoking the true nature of identity of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and that all, and then are reabsorbed into the assembly of that. You imagine that. You have to imagine that. So then it says again, tenam, which means those, then no means what it's called in real, in reality, maybe you can say there are your own lamas, but... Maybe your nature.
[32:51]
Yeah, in reality... The nature of those things are lamas. The nature of those things are lamas, but the appearance... Namba is the appearance of their yidam Namba yidam Tuk The mind is Buddha Sun Chu Their speech is Dharma Their body is Sangha Their knowledge is a wealth deity Their activities is karmabalas.

And then you say the following prayer.
[35:01]
And those are the prayers. Then you have to say. This is how you do the guru yoga practice. Other than that, you can also, if you know about it, the devil is the place. lineage prayer lineage and the root gurus prayer you can say at that time and then the other that plus so that you pick the words that you know any way any words praise and invocation or prayer requesting prayer so that whatever you know is at this time you have to say Then after Swadab, then Chobanam Jachandbu do this, then you can manifest the Chobanam Jachandbu is the offering.
[36:11]
Jachandbu means very extensive. Do the means to manifest or to multiply. Then you can say, seek the words that are prayers. for this food, to the three prices, jewels, object, go mad at region, emulator, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, teacher, all those things are you can say at this time. And then, which means you are imagining that food and the census of offerings, all the five census of offerings are generated from your heart and then said prayers to these peoples. And these people are also taking the your food while taking it, and they will very enjoy it. So you have to make that true. And then the mandala offerings, mandala, is called a mandala. Mandala is a plate.
[37:14]
Your jam means things that you can provide mandala offerings. All right, are you finished? Okay. Is that the ladder? No, that's the one from the laundry. Oh, this is... The mandala yuajie. Yuajie means you have to provide rice and plate and do change to gather, you know, consolidate, gather, you know, get ready it. Which is very important. Make that also very clean. The plates must be very washable and clean. And the rice, what you're using, must be washed and clean. So this is called Zang-dok-demba. Po-du-be-la-ling means the tradition of the lineage traditions of the monastery.
[38:17]
Each monastery has a slightly different la-ling that is. Oh, by the way, George, you have the wandel option. Do you see the picture? I mean, the design? What happens to everyone? No, it's a piece of paper. Oh, yeah. You have that one? Oh, it's okay, but everybody knows something. You know that, right? The design of that. This is a text. quoted from another text called Tundanyamala.
[39:22]
In between the sessions of the practice, you must also take a bath. You must wash your hands and mouth and feet and everything is clean. It has to be clean. and then go out and gather some beautiful flowers, and then set up nice flowers in the water. And then the Jawa Nam de Mende Shintuk Tumpercha, then Shintuk Tumpercha go round mandala all things off. This thing is that the wealth that you are offering, the universal wealth is offering to the Buddha and the Father God.
[40:31]
That also wealth that you earned in previous lifetime, the past, the future, and the present, you earn the merits and are stuck by Gyoyangrobo, the virtue of the action of karma, the material is made out of precious jewels and then the manifest number is apparently Then it's Mandasumiro, and four continents, and sun, and the moon, and the well-known gods, and the potutions of the Tumijieva. Very, very beautiful. And it fills up. This is just one of just symbolic things. But in reality, you can fill it up, everything.
[41:33]
No space, no tiny, no pinpoint. No space where you can put that pin. Everything is packed. Everything is packed around the jewels and things that are offered to the ensemble. So you have to do that. Every day you offer that, he says. And then blah, blah, blah, and then when you're doing the making 100,000 mandalas, then you can just go down here. So what happened before? Well, this is just kind of redundant.
[42:34]
Redundance, you know. Then we're going to mend the seven heaps of a mandala offering. There are many times like hundreds of them you can offer according to your time. And then sometimes Many times, like 10 times, there's also a short one is translated into verses. So you say that, and then you can spread some rice into the air. And then after that, having taken these
[43:42]
My humble offering, please bestow me the completion of the two types of merits, the wisdom merits and the accumulation of merits of conventional merits. Is that? All right. All right. You have to dedicate that. You have to dedicate whatever you wish to see. Your wish is to complete the two types of merits. Plus, purify the two types of obscurations.

To generate inside of your mind. Please help me to blessed me to generate these things. After you blessed these two types of generations, generating types, then what grows from that is . The Sukyuku and the Chujuku. The Sukyuku which is the Rupakaya and the Chujuku is the Tamakaya.
