The Melodious Song Pleasing the Great Powerful One The Long Sadhana of Most Secret Hayagriva

NAMO GURU HAYAGRIVAYA

Having respectfully paid homage to the magnificent great powerful lotus, the pervading guru Vajradharma, I will explain clearly and concisely the meaning of the actions of the deity. Herein is presented a condensed daily recitation of the activities of the special supreme deity, the destroyer qualified as gone beyond, the Lotus Great Controller Hayagriva, the nine-deity extremely secret wrathful blood drinker. This sadhana is divided into three sections: the preliminary practices, the actual practice, and the concluding practices.

6


The Preliminary Practices Refuge Until we attain the state of the pervading lord Samantabhadra, I and all sentient beings without exception who equal the sky Take refuge in the Three Jewels – the essence of Rare Sublimity – And in the entire assembly of mandala deities. (3x)

Generating Bodhichitta In order to place all the limitless transmigrating beings, my kind mothers, In the state of peerless buddhahood, I am going to practice the activities of this profound method Of the Great Controller, the Extremely Secret Wrathful One. (3x)

Meditation on the Four Immeasurable Thoughts May all sentient beings have happiness. May all sentient beings be free from suffering. May all sentient beings forever abide in happiness. May all transmigratory beings attain enlightenment. (3x or more)


7

Requesting Prayer to the Lineage Lamas and Collecting Merits The eight-limb practice and so forth OM VAJRA SAMAYA HUM JAH

To Limitless Illumination [Amitabha Buddha], to the Great Powerful Deity, To Padmasambhava, Vairochana, and the assembly of treasure discoverers; To Drubthob Darchyar and so forth, and to all the root and lineage gurus, I make requests. I prostrate to the vajra master and the glorified buddhas abiding in the three times. To the Three Jewels, who are the field of our dependence, I take refuge with a non-dualistic mind. Please accept these pure offerings, Those actually performed and those emanated from my mind. I confess each and every vice, the obstacles severing the stream of attainments. I rejoice in the Dharma, pure [emptiness], the three circles of the ten directions, [buddhas, bodhisattvas, and sentient beings] And in all conduct performed without attachment. I generate the mind of complete enlightenment: The ultimate sphere of dharmakaya purified of ignorance and hallucinations And devoid of the stains of the four extremes: eternalism, nihilism, and so forth. I and all limitless sentient beings Offer our bodies to those abiding in the three times (gurus, buddhas, and so on).

8


Having gathered all the virtues of countless lifetimes, I dedicate them to the great enlightenment. Eminent supreme field of guru deities, Please open the gate to highly pleasing your holy mind. Please bestow the blessings of your body, speech, and mind, As well as the empowerment and attainments.

Driving Away the Obstacles and Establishing the Border OM VAJRA KRODHA HAYAGRIVA HULU HULU HUM PHAT

From my heart, clarified as the holy body of the Supreme Horseheaded Hero, Emanated Wrathful Ones, weapons, and a great conflagration Which dispelled all hindering spirits and interferers from the limits of all directions And gathered back, became the tent of vajra protection. OM RAM KRODHA RAKSHA VAJRA JVALA RAM TISHANA VISHVA JVALA RAM PHAT PHAT RAM RAM (many times)

Purifying negative karma and obscurations OM VAJRA SAMAJAH HUM

We are ignorant and disturbed sentient beings, And have carelessly transgressed our pledges [not just recitation and prayers of sadhana commitments, but also all the vows taken during the initiation] We request you, assembly of mandala deities of the Great Powerful Lotus, Out of your overwhelming compassion, have patience

With whatever actions we have done against you. By accepting us patiently, please bestow all miraculous attainments.

Hayagriva, Arisen from the unchangeable dharmakaya state, Quickly bestow great blessings at this supreme place. Initiate and bestow all the attainments on me, the yogi. Recite many times the root mantra by adding the following: OM VAJRA AMKUSHA JAH

Blessing all the offering substances RAM AH

From my heart syllable HRIH, RAM emanates. From this, flames in the nature of transcendental wisdom also emanate.

10


AH is transformed into heaps of unborn blazing light,

Purifying all the stains of the collected offering and increasing them. RAM YAM KHAM

Out of the non-objectified state of emptiness, From my heart emanates fire, wind, and water, That burn, dispel, and wash away all faults of the offering substances. In all the qualified and expansive, bliss-supporting vessels, Offerings of water, sense enjoyments, and music are gathered like clouds. The wisdom nectar of choicest medicines blaze and swirl. Heaps of tormas of flesh, blood, bones Emanate sensory enjoyments. The ocean of rakta (blood) is stirred by waves. Everything is mixed inseparably with the transcendental wisdom substances And becomes an uncontaminated, inexhaustible, bliss-giving treasury.

Blessing the outer offerings OM AHARA AHARA HUM OM VAJRA DHUPE AH HUM OM VAJRA PUSHPE AH HUM OM VAJRA ALOKE AH HUM OM VAJRA GHANDHE AH HUM OM VAJRA NAIVIDYA AH HUM OM VAJRA SHAPTA AH HUM

11

The Actual Body of the Practice Generating the Supporting Mandala and the Supported Deity out of the Three Concentrations HUM From the vast expanse of ultimate nature.

All the various phenomena appear naturally. They do not have nature [inherent existence], They are like the reflection of the moon in water. Everything is pervaded by great compassion. The heart wisdom appears in the shape of HUM. OM SHUNYATA JNANA SAMATI HUM OM DHARMADHATU SAMATI HUM OM JNANA VAJRA SAMATI HUM HUM SPHARANA PHAT / SAM HARANA HUM EH YAM RAM KHAM SUM KEM BHRUM

All the seed syllables and mantras completely transform into the five elements, Mount Meru, and the spontaneously actualized celestial mansion. OM AGNE MANDALA HUM

From EH appears a light blue sky mandala, triangular in shape. Above it is: YAM KARMA RAKSHA MANDALA HUM YAM transforms into a smoky wind mandala, semi-circular

and rippling.

of wisdom. It is square with four doors, walls, plinth, frieze, garlands and half-garlands, A collection of dentils, parapet, pillars, beams, arched roof, archways, and so forth. It is endowed with perfect dimensions and all characteristics, Splendidly beautified, glorious, and grand with the cemeteries and jeweled ornaments. Outside are the lotus fence, the eight great cemeteries, The vajra fence, and blazing heaps of fire like that at the end of the eon. In the center of the mansion is a red-black triangular mandala. In this is a red half-circle with a fence of dry skulls. Beyond that is a four-spoked wheel, in the color of its direction, Completely surrounded by a circular garland of wet human heads.

Onto the central seat descended a syllable HUM, Which transformed into a red-black syllable HRIH and a blue syllable MAM. SPHARANA PHAT

Light emanated from them, pleased with offerings the assemblies of arya beings And purified every single negativity and obscuration of sentient beings. SAM HARANA HUM

Returned back, the light absorbed into both seed syllables. TISHTHA VAJRA

They became inseparable and stable. OM VAJRA KRODHA HAYAGRIVA HULU HULU HUM PHAT OM MAHA KRODHISHVARI HUM PHAT

From both HRIH and MAM I became completely transformed Into the holy body of Hayagriva, the Lotus Great Controller. I have three faces: right white, left green, and center red-black. On the crown is a green horse head With a white blaze, and a red mane with a yellow cloth hanging from it, Whinnying with a shrill sound toward the ten directions. The faces all have three round bloodshot eyes. The brows and beards are yellow, shining like lightning. The hair is matted, dark brown (like chocolate) and beautified by standing upright.


15

The remaining two right hands hold an iron hook and a club. The remaining two left hands hold a lasso and a blazing sword. The upper part of the holy body wears a human skin and a wet elephant hide. The lower part of the holy body is adorned with a tiger skin skirt. The dried skull head ornament is topped with jewels. The holy body is adorned with bone ornaments, A triple garland each of fifty human heads – dried, wet, and withered – Jewels, and the four types of snakes.

The hair, matted and thick, is black like the gloom of darkness. The right hand, holding a heart, embraces the Father. The left hand, holding a great conch shell (skull) filled with an ocean of blood, Makes offering to the mouth of the great magnificent lord. In this way visualize clearly the Lord Father-Mother.

16


Blessing the three places OM AH HUM

At the crown of both the father and the mother is a moon disc, At their throats a lotus, and at their hearts a sun disc, Respectively adorned with a white OM, a red AH, and a blue HUM, Thus blessing the body, speech, and mind.

Receiving the empowerment OM BANDHA KAPALA BHRUM HUM OM SVA AM HA

The five seed syllables are completely transformed into the blood drinkers of the five types (the five lords of the buddha families) become the full ornaments of the crown. OM ABHISHANCHA HUM

Being in Union and Generating All the Surrounding Deities HUM BAM

At the Father’s secret place a syllable HUM takes the aspect of a five-pronged vajra. At the Mother’s secret place a syllable PAM becomes an eightpetaled lotus. The openings of both secret places are blocked by PHAT. SAMAYA HOH / SAMAYA STVAM ANURAGAYAMI / ANURAGAYAHO JAH HUM BAM HOH

With mutual desire the Father and Mother engage in union. The sound of great bliss that follows invokes the buddhas and their children. They enter the mouth of the Father and dissolve into light at the heart. BODHICHITTA SPHARANA PHAT

You are the manifestation of great bliss, the [state of] unification, Displaying various emanation bodies: I prostrate to the Magnificent Supreme Stallion. Although completely free from all mental fabrications, You adopt the mode of an illusory woman To subdue by desire those who have desire: I prostrate to the Wrathful Mother. Transformation of the contaminated aggregates is the wisdom holy body Which is completely purified of delusions. You, the four Wrathful Conquerors, fully perform the four activities: To you, I prostrate. You are purified of eternalism, nihilism,and a naturally existing I. [The extreme of eternalism is samsara, the extreme of nihilism is the sorrowless state of the lesser vehicle. The way of liberating from these two is – as mention in the teachings of the Abhisamayalankara – by having wisdom you don’t abide in samsara, by having compassion you don’t abide in peace. One should stop the two extremes, eternalism and nihilism, by having wisdom realizing emptiness and by great compassion. This contains the inherent existence of the person and the inherent existence of phenomena (the aggregates). See Liberation in the Palm of your Hand by Pabongka Rinpoche or any teachings by H. H.

24


the Dalai Lama on emptiness. Also Jeffrey Hopkins’ Meditation on Emptiness.]

You are the essence of four means of drawing: [giving, speaking sweetly, working for others, and practicing what you teach] And the essence of immeasurable thought. Hooking, entering, binding, and controlling, To you, the Ladies of the Four Doors, I prostrate. In order to subdue all vicious beings You are extremely wrathful, overwhelming, and irresistible, And well-aligned like a blazing garland: I prostrate to all those who abide by the order (the protectors). Having the completely purified twelve related dependent limbs And the nature of the thirty-seven dharmas leading in the direction of enlightenment, Essence of great bliss, well completed; To that unfathomable mansion, I prostrate. Ground, fence, and tent of non-dual wisdom vajra, Having blazing heaps of wisdom fire: To that protecting wheel, I prostrate. By this virtue of offering praises to you, May I completely eliminate the obstacles of the path, May I fully complete the two accumulations in this life, And attain enlightenment, the essence of the four holy bodies.


25

The Practice of Graduated Dzab HUM At the heart of myself as the Wrathful Conqueror, Glorious

Supreme Stallion, On the stamens of an eight-petaled lotus, Is the heart syllable HRIH, surrounded by the mantra upon the eight petals. Light issues forth and absorbs into all the tathagatas, Giving the outer, inner, and secret offerings. Collects the attainments of holy body, speech, and mind, Purifies the stains of the three doors of sentient beings, And absorbs back into the body, speech, and mind of the yogi. [Perform the meditation combining the generation and completion stages.] HRIH VAJRA KRODHA HAYAGRIVA HULU HULU HUM PHAT OM MAHA KRODHISHVARI HUM PHAT OM VAJRASHVARA KRODHA HUM PHAT OM RATNASHVARA KRODHA HUM PHAT OM PADMASHVARA KRODHA HUM PHAT OM KARMASHVARA KRODHA HUM PHAT OM VAJRA AMKUSHA JAH OM VAJRA PASHA HUM OM VAJRA SPHOTA BAM OM VAJRA GHANTE HOH

27

My red-black body is awesome, elegant, and sensuous. My three heads show the three doors to liberation. My six arms eradicate the six streams of consciousness. My four legs liberate from the four dharmas of cyclic existence. My holy body is perfected with the eight vestments of the cemeteries; My green horse head makes the sound of a shrill whinny. Standing in the midst of a colossal, blazing bonfire, I roar with the overwhelming voice of a thousand dragons, Bringing under my control the male and female lordly spirits (dregpa). I offer praise and prostrate to the holy body of the Great Controller.

Taking the Attainment of the Recitation HUM Wrathful Conqueror, awesome magnificent Supreme Stallion,

Please bestow on me, the yogi, now, in this instant, The supreme attainment, the wisdom wish-fulfilling jewel, From the supreme holy body, speech, and mind of the Glorious One.

Concluding Practices Making Offerings to the Protectors of the Doctrine RAM YAM KHAM BHRUM

Bless all the offering substances with: OM AH HUM HRIH Any form appearing from the magical power of the various

minds are the field of illusion. From the vajra palace, which is the appearance of innate wisdom, I request the assemblies of commanded and pledged protectors, please be here. OM EH HYE HI JAH JAH

Thus invoke them. VAJRA SAMAYA RAKSHANTU

Thus bind them by pledge. OM SHRI DHARMAPALA NIDHIPATI SAPARIWARA IDAM BALIMTA KHA KHA KHAHI KHAHI (3x or 7x)

With this, offer the torma.


29

Offer from ARGHAM to SHAPTA.

With this offer the medicine and rakta. Do the confession and fulfillment:

HUM Clouds of offering, a treasure as vast the whole sky, pleases and fulfills the pledged protectors. All these treasures [phenomena] that can appear and exist manifest as heaps of desire enjoyments. The various virtues of all cyclic existence and nirvana swirled into one.

30


The unification of bliss and voidness in the play of illusory form Satisfies the holy minds of the oceans of commanded and pledged protectors. I confess from my heart all the collections of mistakes, transgressions and misunderstandings. By satisfying your holy minds and reviving all degenerated and broken samayas, You remove all obstructing conditions and accomplish every harmonious condition without exception.

Praise and Request for the Activities HUM To you, the ocean of those living in samaya, who live in the order with their retinue; Who, out of compassion, arose in the form of the holy body From the unborn sphere [dharmakaya] in order to protect the teaching of the Buddha, With a mind of devotion, I prostrate and offer praises. By accepting this ocean of offering tormas made with consecrated substances, May all of us –masters, disciples and all surrounding beings – Accomplish, without the mind being distracted, the four activities. May the teachings of the Buddha spread and increase.

Performing the Tsog Offering Dispel the interferers with the boundary mantra: OM RAM KRODHA RAKSHA VAJRA JVALA RAM TISHANA VISHVA JVALA RAM PHAT PHAT RAM RAM RAM YAM KHAM OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM


31

By this purify in emptiness.

While the tsog substances are empty, AH and MA, which become sun and moon containers, appear. Upon them, the three syllables OM, AH, and HUM melt and become the five desire enjoyments and the heaps. [First the 5 desire enjoyments and then by multiply lights are increased and become heaps.]

OM AH HUM (3x) OM MAHARATNA KAMALA VISHUDDHE HUM

By this bless [the tsog].

Inviting the guests HUM Please descend here from the sphere of the completely

pure nature [dharmakaya], Irresistible, wrathful emanated deities of the mandala of the Lotus Great Controlling One. Be here to enjoy this feast [tsog]. OM EH HYE HI BHAGAVAN MAHAKARUNIKA MAHA PADMESHVARA SAPARIVARA VAJRA SAMAJAH / PADMA KAMALAYE STVAM

Offering the general tsog HUM These unsurpassable, supreme sacred offerings,

Emanate the radiant light of the five wisdoms, They are beautifully adorned with the five desire enjoyments.

32


In accordance with your samaya, please accept them in whichever way you wish. OM MAHA PADMESHVARE SAPARIVARA IDAM DHUPE … PUSHPE … DIPAM … GANDHE … NAIVIDYA PRATICCHA SVAHA HUM Forms, sounds, smells, and objects of the mind consciousness,

Inexhaustible desire enjoyments - a treasure of the sky, These offerings of the great enjoyment tsog Are in inconceivable quantities, Filling up the whole sky, I offer these to the assembly deities of the mandala. Please accept this desire enjoyment offering. AH LA LA [Please enjoy!] OM MAHA PADMESHVARA SAPARIVARA KAMA GUNA PUJA HOH

To offer in detail, divide the tsog into three parts. First offering by praising:

The Great Principal who is enriched with the power of dancing, Sensuous, heroic, and fearful; Laughing, scolding, and terrifying; Compassionate, overwhelming, peaceful, and so forth. The features of your body are extremely changeable in dance. Showing [these] to the practitioner yogi. I am offering the essential (substances) Such as the “moon,” “mamsa,” and so forth. As well as sandalwood scents.


33

The “essential substances” are offerings of high quality blessed in the nature of nectar. “Essential” here refers to the substances having the special qualities of color, taste, tangible objects, and power. “Taste” also refers to the supreme taste, which is sweet with a cool sensation. Like the moon, milk, or the color of mercury, they are white and pure. The power the offering objects possess is the power of being able to restore life to those who have died. “Mamsa” is defined as meat. The words “so forth” refer to various tsog substances such as wine, flowers, light offerings, fruit, incense, and so on.

Please accept all that I offer as most pure and perfect. Bless me, the yogi, [with] the supreme tangible objects of the humans, female beings. The commentary states the above as “…the human daughters,” which pertains to the consort that helps you to develop the extremely subtle wisdom, the clear light, the simultaneously born bliss and wisdom, which is the quickest method to cut the defilements.

Please make all these substance of achievement powerful (by means of) HUM and PHAT. By expressing “HUM” one is able to generate the ultimate realization of bliss and voidness in one’s mental continuum. Through expressing “PHAT” one developing ones mental continuum to be capable of eliminating the demon, self-grasping, in the sphere of emptiness. MAHA PADMESHVARA SAPARIVARA GANACHAKRA PUJA KHARAM KHAHI

ten fields without exception, cut the net of disturbing thoughts of samsara, and eliminate the five poisons into the sphere [of great emptiness]. [The ten fields refer to the evil doers who commit ten heavy negative acts such as harming the guru, destroying the teachings, harming living beings, and so forth.] OM PADMA SHRI HERUKA MAHAKRODHA PADMANTAKRITA CHANDHA RAGA PASHAM MARAYA KILI KILA HUM PHAT SARVA BIGHANAN SHATRUM MARAYA PHAT

There is nothing to make the last residue (E), the Great Controller’s servant possesses the residue. The residue is not sprinkled with mouth water (E). There is a great difference between the Lord and subjects. There is nothing to mix the three aspects into one (E). In the sphere of existence there is no bad and good. By making offering, there is no reliance for the activities (E). Destroying the teaching of the Dharma wheel happened. [E = emptiness. According to Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche’s commentary, this is all related to emptiness like the Heart Sutra. According to Choden Rinpoche’s commentary: the first one is a way of expressing that one should make offering with the first pure essence although expressed negatively. ..in the middle one should enjoy the tsog… one should make the last residue… one should sprinkle with mouth water… one should mix the three into one… one should rely for the activities.] HRIH From the black-red triangular-shaped mandala the Destroy-

Request for Forgiveness Being under the control of ignorance, all the mistakes that were done against the holy mind of the Lotus Great Controller assembly of the deities, we confess from the heart.

Do any of the practices asking the guests to return back or to absorb into the holy objects and stabilize:

O you who possess the treasury of all beings’ welfare, please grant the blessings wished for and after returning to the land of the buddhas, return here in the future. Pray, let it be done. The transcendental wisdom beings either return back to their natural abode or if there are holy objects they absorb and stabilize with them. The samaya beings absorb to oneself as the deity.

The Absorption The container (place) and essence (living beings), the unfathomable mandala, even that absorbs to the entourage. The entourage absorbs to the principal Mother. The principal Mother absorbs to


43

the Father. Even the holy body of the Great Controlling One like a rainbow faded away in the sphere of purity from the beginning. VAJRA MU OM MAHASHUNYATA JNANA VAJRA SVABHAVA ATMAKO HAM

Place the mind in equipoise in the state of reality great emptiness. HRIH VAJRA KRODHA HAYAGRIVA HULU HULU HUM PHAT

Again, like a water bubble coming from the water oneself is clarified in the Most Secret Wrathful One. From the holy body a wisdom-conflagration of transcendental fire blazes fiercely and it becomes a strong armor of fearless protection. HAYAGRIVA HRIH GAB / BAMODHAYA HRIH GAB / PADMA BANDHA HRIH GAB / CHANDHA RAKSHA HRIH GAB / RULU RULU HUM BHYOH HUM

Arise into the deity and protect the body.

Dedication Due to this merit, may I and so forth sentient beings attain the state of the Lotus Victorious One (Hayagriva) and spread in ten directions the voice of the horse of the manifestation of the Bliss Enjoying One to all the multitudes of those who are born blinded by ignorance.

Auspicious Prayer OM The samatuk (a special receptacle) of the holy body, holy

speech, holy mind, and holy actions filled well with attainment immortal nectar the assemblies of the deities of Hayagriva who help to accomplish the vajra life that brings all the success of common and sublime ones be auspicious. By expressing this auspicious prayer may everything be happy and good. The practice ends here.

Dedication by the composer of the sadhana: By spreading this attaining method of the Great Controlling Extremely Secret Wrathful One whose action is condensed, clarified and made easy may I be happily (pleased) guided by the Guru Deity and accomplish spontaneously all the works for self and others.

Original Colophon: This which is called La Chung (this text) action transformation integrated into essence of Melodious Song Pleasing the Great Controlling One of the Special Sublime Deity Lotus Great Controlling Hayagriva Extremely Secret Wrathful Blood Drinker Nine-Deities. I, the follower of the advice of the holy Gurus, Samaya Vajra (Kalka Damtsig Dorje), wrote down well in the great Dharma learning monastery Glorified Sera Dechen Ling, originator of oceans of learned attained ones, as I was persuaded precisely by many virtuous friends who practiced this sublime deity as mind-sealing deity (yidam) for something like this for their daily practice which has all the meaning of the elaborate La Chung but less words. The writing was done by one who is possessor of expanding the extensive infinite scripture the virtuous friend Losang Tseten. By this merit may the stainless precious teaching of the sutra tantra of the Soft Savior Victorious One (Tsongkhapa) never be degenerated and spread in all directions at all times and be developed and last a long time. This text was spread with Dharma charity without bearing hardships by Sera Je Geshe Sengye. By this merit may the life of the holy body of the Snow Land savior


45

and his holy actions be increased, and may the virtue and signs of the teaching of the transmigratory beings in the Snow Land be increased.

Translator’s Colophon and Dedication First translated from the Tibetan by Gelongma Jamyang Wangmo, with the kind assistance of Chatro Rinpoche, Keusang Rinpoche, Khamtrul Rinpoche and Venerable Lhagdor. Dharamsala, March 1996. Due to these merits, may the life and activities of the protector of the Land of Snows, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, increase and develop. May the Dharma flourish. May all beings be happy. Additional translation/editorial work has been done by Lama Zopa Rinpoche working together with various students, including Tom Szymanski, Karuna Cayton, Judith Hunt, and Ven. Sarah Thresher. Light editorial polishing and formatting by Ven. Constance Miller, FPMT Education Department, November 1999. Tibetan phonetics checked against the original Tibetan text by Ven. Constance Miller, July 2003.

Note on the Translation: Lama Zopa Rinpoche has given the following input regarding this text: “The Hayagriva sadhana is extremely complicated. Logically, the words do not make sense a lot of the time as it is a secret tantra. One basically needs a direct understanding of emptiness to really understand the meaning of this sadhana. Even in the Tibetan, the text is extremely unclear and there are many different ways to interpret it.”
