NAMO GURU JNANA DAKINI YAY

Homage to the Guru Wisdom Dakini!

Omnibeneficent Samantabhadri, the perfection of highest knowledge;

Vajrayogini,1 powerful queen of the basic space of reality, mother of the victors;
Venerable Jnanasagara, Yeshe Tsogyal, Sarasvati, Goddess of Eloquence2
Trikaya Guru-Dakini, to you, I pray.

In the presence of [Buddha] Dharmodgata, Noble Dharma, you sowed vast aspirations.
In the presence of Shakyamuni, you emanated as Ganga Devi, Goddess of the Ganges.
In the pure realms, you were the noble Sarasvati, Goddess of Eloquence.
To the manifest array of your wisdom forms, I pray.

When it was time to guide those to be trained in the snowy land of Tibet,
From space, through the seed syllables of upaya and prajna,
You entered [your mother’s] womb in the renowned kingdom of the noble clan of
Kharchen3
And countless excellent signs arose. To you, I pray.

At sunrise, on the tenth day of the Monkey month of the Bird year,4
When you were born, the earth trembled, thunder rumbled,
A rain of flowers descended, your life-force lake suddenly overflowed,5
And a great overarching rainbow pavilion appeared. To you, I pray.

As soon as you took birth, you recited the string of the vowels and consonants [of the

3
Sanskrit alphabet].6
In the heavens, multitudes of goddesses sang auspicious verses.
Within a single month, you reached the age of eight
And your fame spread throughout the kingdom. To you, I pray.

Fiercely renouncing the prison of conditioned existence,

You escaped far away from your princely suitors.
Then, according to the wishes of King Trisong,7
You entered his court as a noble guest. To you, I pray.

Becoming skilled in reading and writing, the five major sciences, and so on,
When merely shown symbolic indications, you attained full comprehension.
The karmic affinities of your previous training awakened you to Dharma
And you were appointed as a Dharma custodian. To you, I pray.

Having invited the great master Padmakara, Lotus-Born, to Chimphu,8

The King made a mandala offering of his kingdom
And requested to receive the effortless vehicle.
[The Master] instructed him in the rarity of Secret Mantra. To [this Master], I pray.

Then, [the King] offered you [to the Master], together with a feast of appropriate
samaya substances.
Much pleased, [the Master] accepted his request.
You were enthroned as the Master’s consort, and empowerments ripened your
mindstream.
Then, [together], you went to Chimphu to practice in secret. To you, I pray.

There, you trained your mind in the provisional truth of the lesser and greater
vehicles—the Three Scriptural Collections, and so on—
The doctrines of cause and effect.
Through a vision of Sarasvati, Goddess of Eloquence, you attained a most excellent
unfailing memory,
Developed clairvoyance and acquired miraculous powers. To you, I pray.

4
Steadfastly in your goals, whatever was explained, you comprehended within yourself.
You reached perfection in all fields of knowledge and the distinctions of the nine
vehicles.
The distinctions between true and false doctrines arose [within you].
You saw the nature of cause and effect. To you, I pray.

Passionately seeking the profound secret that transcends cause and effect,
From the Lord Master, you accepted the inviolable samaya.
At Yemalung,9 with the scriptural text Ocean of Dharma, Consolidation of all Teachings,
He began ripening your mindstream. To you, I pray.

Remaining with the Master at [Zhoto] Tidro10 in Upper Zho,

In a great assembly hall, you offered the mandala of great bliss.
The Master ripened your body, speech, and mind with the four secret empowerments
[And then] you trained in the pure perception of the Master. To you, I pray.

In six months, you attained proficiency in the purpose of these empowerments;

The wind-energies of the [twelve] junctures ceased and the twelve interdependent links
of conditioning factors
And the four impure states11 were purified. Attaining the supreme twelfth level [of
realization],
You were endowed with enlightenment’s inconceivable qualities. To you, I pray.

In keeping with the Master’s prophecy, you journeyed to the land of Nepal,
Revived a slain human corpse and, with measures of gold,
Ransomed Atsara Salé,12 your hero-daka of skillful means.
[Then] you trained many beings who were difficult to guide. To you, I pray.

With Vasudhara,13 Shakyadema,14 and others,

You exchanged Dharma teachings. Then, returning to Tidro,
You [and Atsara Sale] cultivated the four joys,15 attaining the accomplishment of vital
essence

5
And mastery of the five arising-constituents. To you, I pray.

At the Dharma King’s request, you returned with the Mater to Chimphu
[Where] he revealed one hundred and twenty unsurpassable mandalas.
[At that time,] three hundred fortunate disciples reached spiritual maturity,
And the sublime instruction for accomplishing the Master’s mind fell to you. To you, I
pray.

At Tidro, you accomplished [the sadhana of] the Master and received its great blessings.
All appearances arose as expressions of the Master.
Journeying to amazing pure realms, such as the dakini abode of Oddiyana,16
You beheld wondrous symbolic indications. To you, I pray.

In the vows of the eight great disciplines regarding food, clothing, body, speech, mind,
and the Doctrine;
Benefiting beings, and cultivating compassion,
You excelled, just as the Master predicted.
Every one of the signs of attainment arose. To you, I pray.

At the edge of Ya glacier, mastering chandali’s bliss-warmth,

Free of conventional clothing, you wore the adornments of the six types of bone
ornaments.
At Lion’s Lair, you extracted the essence of medicinal plants;
Divine sages and medicine goddesses presented offerings. To you, I pray.

Attaining the rainbow body of the celestial realms, your substantial body fell away,
Your voice [assumed] the sixty qualities of Brahma’s voice,
And your mind was endowed with vajra-like concentration.
You attained ordinary and sublime accomplishments. To you, I pray.

At Nering [Senge] Dzong,17, you subdued human and non-human armies And
established in them the foundation of faith.
Mighty gods and spirits offered their hearts and lives to you

6
And you entrusted them with protecting the Doctrine. To you, I pray.

At Paro Tiger’s Lair,18 practicing the yogic discipline of the profound path,
Your three gates were transfigured into the three vajras of great bliss
And you blazed with the radiant beauty of a sixteen-year-old.
Heruka-heroine, to you, I pray.

Receiving the empowerments and prophecies of Amitayus, Buddha Limitless Life,

You became a vidyadhara with the power of longevity free of aging and decline.
Queen of limitless mandalas,
Mistress of Eternal Life, Blue Light Blazing, to you I pray.

Accepting Tashi Khyidren,19 the girl from Mön, as your disciple,

At Onphu Tiger’s Lair20 you accomplished Vajrakilaya, Vajra Dagger,
And received the life-force of the gods and spirits of a billion worlds.
Sovereign of the basic space of reality, supreme Lady, to you I pray.

Through your miraculous powers, you subdued the heretical Bön,

And thwarted the malicious actions of many evil ministers.
With compassion and skillful means, you reconciled the schisms in the spiritual
community.
You made the Buddhist teachings shine like the sun. To you, I pray.

At the snowy peaks of Kharak, at Jomo Nang in Tsang,21

And in Ugpa Valley,22, you propagated the oral transmission lineage and the ear-
whispered lineage of instruction.
To seven fortunate ones, five hundred great yogis, and others,
You gave inconceivable ripening and liberating [teachings]. To you, I pray.

At the snowy mountain of Shampo, to seven bandits,

You [gave] pointing-out instructions. They attained accomplishment, and you sent them
to Oddiyana.
Taking the Nepalese dakini Kalasiddhima23 as your disciple,

7
Your instructions liberated her. To you, I pray.

At Chimphu, remaining with the Lord Master

For eleven years, you received his heart treasury,
Like a vase filled to the brim, with nothing not transmitted.
Then you propagated the Doctrine through your teachings and practice. To you, I pray.

A million cycles for attaining enlightenment and ten thousand Heart Essence24 cycles,
Profound and extensive Dharma teachings—tantras, explanatory commentaries, and
pith instructions—
On the surface of yellow scrolls, with various scripts,
You ritually prepared them as profound Treasures. To you, I pray.

In U, Tsang, and Kham,25 you and your consort and other accomplished followers
Traveled on foot and blessed [these areas] with your practice.
You filled the earth with Treasures and placed prophetic guides
That foretold the karmically-destined revealers. To you, I pray.

Accompanying the Master on his way to the Land of Rakshasas, Cannibal Demons,
At Tsa Shö ravine,26 the complete instructions of the all-pervasive Great Perfection’s Ati
teachings,
The final prophecies, and [the Master’s] three legacies,
Were given to you. To you, I pray.

Living in Shang Zabbu,27, you ripened and liberated fortunate disciples.

Meditating in the equipoise of Ati’s enlightened wisdom,
Your awareness reached its full measure
And you traveled through sixty pure lands. To you, I pray.

You rescued the evil minister, Shantipa, from the depths of hell.
You gave beings food, clothing, medicine, riches, your body and life, refuge, and so
forth.
You exchanged yourself with others in miraculous ways.

8
The rulers of gods and water-dwelling spirits offered their homage. To you, I pray.

In Chimphu, the Divine Prince King venerated you.28

In Nepal, retracing the Master’s footsteps,
You became a wellspring of authentic teachings, and your Dharma lineage spread
throughout the Land of Jambu.29
Your benefit for the welfare of beings was as extensive as space. To you, I pray.

Practicing throughout Tibet, in the central and surrounding lands,

You left imprints of your hands and feet, inscribed sacred syllables, and built statues.
[Thus,] for all the devoted faithful in the future,
You made their connection [with you] meaningful. To you, I pray.

You journeyed to one hundred sacred sites, one thousand seventy lesser ones,
Twenty-five snowy mountain ranges, eighteen great fortresses,
Twelve hidden valleys, seven places of marvel,
And five secret places. To you, I pray.

In all these places, you concealed countless caches of hidden treasures—teachings,

wealth,
And samaya substances. Binding the treasures
And offering prayers for their auspiciousness, you ensured
The perpetual dissemination of virtue and excellence. To you, I pray.

At the Karchung’s temple, Indestructible Expanse,30

To worthy brothers and sisters led by the Divine Princes,
You bestowed vast and profound gates of Dharma, such as Trilogy of Gatherings,
That ripened and liberated them. To you, I pray.

During the sadhana, Gathering of Secrets, the Master appeared in person.

Remaining with you for seven days, he ripened and liberated the Divine Prince31
And compassionately bestowed upon him, The Natural Liberation of Enlightenment’s
Intent,

9
And other unparalleled profound teachings. To the Master, I pray.

[Then,] you went to Kharchu where, while settled in the equipoise of wisdom
realization,
The appearance of [all] phenomena, extinguished in the nature of reality, arose.
With your emanations, you skillfully guided the six types of beings.
And dredged the depths of existence. To you, I pray.

When Mandarava arrived from the holy land of India,

You discussed Dharma, studied the teachings,
Exchanged knowledge and praised one another. Casting flowers,
Together, you sang auspicious melodies. To you, I pray.

Returning to the valley of Zabbu in Shang,

You offered a great tantric feast, and to eleven root disciples,
You bestowed hundreds of pith instructions
That were like the essential heart of the oral lineage. To you, I pray.

Beseeched by your karmic disciples, one by one,

You granted oral teachings, prophecies, and words of advice for the future.
For a full two hundred and eleven years,
In the land of Tibet, you nurtured your disciples. To you, I pray.

On the eighth day of the Bird month, dakinis of the three abodes
And the eight classes of rakshasas32 arrived from Chamara33 to escort you away from this
world.
Nine times you answered the questions [asked by] the gods and people of Tibet.
And you gave them nine great prophecies. To you, I pray.

You gather the dakinis of Mön and Nepal34 into the right and left sides of your heart
center.
On the tenth day of the month, hoisted by the four classes of dakinis,
Within a mass of light and seated on a palanquin of light,

10
You lovingly bestowed your final testament. To you, I pray.

In essence, you actualized the enlightenment of the youthful vase body.

In appearance, you journeyed to [the palace of] Lotus Light35 in the realm of Chamara.
In the form of the dakini, Blue Light Blazing,
You [now] dwell there as the consort of the King of the Rakshasas. To you, I pray.

Your body, speech, mind, qualities, and activities

Truly became equal to the Lord Master’s.
With your five inexhaustible adornment-wheels pervading as far as the reaches of
space,
You perform the benefit of beings. To you, I pray.

In particular, for those in the land of Tibet, in your mercy,

You will emanate twenty-five primary manifestations
That will emanate and re-emanate, continuously and forever,
Training beings according to their circumstances. To you, I pray.

For those endowed with Dharmic fortune, you identify what is to be cultivated and
rejected, give prophecies,
Dispel hindrances, and grant accomplishments.
By dredging the depths of existence and so on, you will always protect Tibet.
My kindest only mother, to you, I pray.

Your profoundly enlightened mind pervades the reaches of space.

Your compassion shines brighter than the sun.
Your clouds of blessings and gentle showers of accomplishment
Are the most efficacious. Supreme mother, to you, I pray.

Through the power of my supplication of faith and devotion,

Since your stainless wisdom eyes behold everything,
May the hook of your compassion swiftly embrace me
And guide me to Khechara’s36 pure realms.

11
In this, and all my future lifetimes, through your great compassion, please guide me
And forever bestow your blessings.
Now and forever, please remain as my guru
And grant all accomplishments without exception, ordinary and sublime.

Just like the Omnibeneficent Padmakara and his consort,

May I, too, swiftly become like them.
Then, inseparable from all the [life stories] of victorious complete freedom,
May I bring all beings throughout space to buddhahood.

COLOPHON

If you supplicate with these words, with strong faith and devotion, expressing this prayer as a

melodious song of heartfelt longing, you will actually meet Tsogyal in this life, so what need is there to

say that you will attain liberation?

Samaya! Gya Gya Gya!

To fulfill the request of Gartrul Gelek Nyima, this rendering of Kharchen Tare Lhamo’s symbolic

intent was set in writing by Kapala.

Sarwa Mangalam!

 Yeshe Tsogyal's Prayer To Guru Rinpoche As He Left Tibet

NAMO GURU!

When the Great Master, Padmasambhava, was leaving for the Land of Rakshasas to
the southwest, at the Gungtang pass in the land of Mang, Yeshe Tsogyal offered
prostrations and circumambulated him. Then, placing the Master’s feet upon her
head, she uttered this prayer:

By the blessings of the Great Master,

In all my future lifetimes,
In the palace of your pure land,
May I remain close to the Master and may we never separate.

With complete devotion,

May I offer pleasing service and
From the heart essence of your profound realization,
May I receive the transmission of your nectar-like blessings.

By the blessings of your body, speech, and mind,

May my own body, speech, and mind ripen.
Then, in the profound creation and completion phases of meditation,
Having received empowerment, may I accomplish my practice.

May the negative forces of wrong thinking,

Illness, malevolent forces, and obstacles be pacified and,
Through the increase of my retinues and wealth,
May your intentions be fulfilled.

In cemeteries, mountain hermitages, and snowy hermitages,

In such excellent places,
May I continually accomplish
The realization-elixir of profound samadhi.

Through the fruition of my practice,

May I accomplish the four enlightened activities and
Bind the worldly gods and demons into servitude
As guardians of the Buddhist doctrine.

May all the sacred dharmas taught by Buddha

Arise effortlessly in my mindstream.
Having gained supreme knowledge,
