So it starts like this:
As you are visualising your Guru or whichever, Niguma or Vajradhara, whichever it may be or like Sukhasiddhi, all the Deity starts with, all the Deity [Yidam] has been welcomed by the radiance of the Guru mandala and dissolve into the Guru. So all the Deity welcomed in the form of Vajradhara or in their own form, in the form of Niguma, whichever it may be that you prefer. Just all the Deity has been welcomed by the radiance, by the Guru mandala and dissolve into the Guru.
Starts with the Deity [Yidam] followed by the Buddha and the Dharma. When it comes to the Dharma think about all the letters of the teaching of the Lord Buddha dissolving into it, into the mandala. Then the Sangha [enlightened Sangha] and all the Bodhisattvas and then followed by all the Dakas and the Dakinis and Dharma Protectors.
So starts with the (1) Guru dissolving into your Guru then followed by the (2) Deity [Yidam] then the (3) Buddha, (4) Dharma, (5) Sangha, (6) Daka, Dakini, Protector. Okay, so that’s the order.
[Tibetan]
Now in your mental attitude, after completing that visualisation, now since Niguma [your Guru] is the essence of the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha and Dakas, Dakinis and Deities and the Protector, since it is a combined blessing of all of them, with a great radiance, which has immense blessing. No need to explain too much about that if I make a refuge, if I seek a blessing, the blessing will be absolutely immense.
With that understanding then you visualise your parents on the right and left and then all the people that who have harmed you, hurt you and then all the spirits of this land and visualising all the sentient beings. Physically making prostration, speech making a prayer, mind and your heart with a full determination.
[Tibetan]
Then all the six realms of the sentient beings chanting the refuge prayer along with you and echoing in the whole atmosphere. Then from your speech you’re saying:
[Tibetan]
So you are saying the prayer and that is:
[Tibetan]
“The essence of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, as that is my refuge, in order to benefit all the sentient beings, with your blessing, please let me see my own fixation of mind,
[Tibetan]
so that I will see by understanding and seeing my fixation, so that I will see no other importance but Dharma,
and then Illusory Body and Mind, please bless me so that I can practice Illusory Body and Mind,
so that I can also practice the Dream Yoga,
so that I can also practice and be blessed to do Clear Light Mahamudra,
that special blessing that I am requesting, as soon as possible, and exactly where I am sitting, I would like to request and please empower me with your blessing.”
