Here is an abridged commentary on the text and instructions of the practice of Chenrezig by the Venerable Lama Lhachog. [52 was a third form of Chenrezig with one face and eight-arms on a lotus. Above him was a fourth form of Chenrezig with eleven faces and a thousand eyes and a thousand arms, also on a lotus. The figures of Chenrezig were surrounded by a host of Yidams and Lamas. A $ $& The Mahasiddha was so moved at the sight that he addressed a seven-branch prayer 54 to Chenrezig. The eleven faced replied “I am your spiritual teacher until you reach One [ enlightenment. Please accomplish the good of beings through the six-syllable mantra.” Chenrezig then recited the prayer which Tangtong Gyalpo wrote down and which is now reproduced in this text. The Immortal Realized Powerful Tangtong Gyalpo A COMMENTARY ON THE TEXT AND INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PRACTICE ,/- REFUGE INTRODUCTION At the age of eight, the Mahasiddha Tangtong Gyalpo was leading a commitment to recite one hundred million Manis. Many people gathered to take part. The practice A $ $& commenced on the Tibetan New Year. On the eighth day just before daybreak Tangtong 53 Gyalpo had a vision of a gigantic tree growing out of the ritual vase which was in One [ front of him. It was laden with the most beautiful leaves, flowers and fruit. Inside the tree he could see Chenrezig with one face and two arms sitting on a lotus. Above him was another form of Chenrezig with one face and four-arms on a lotus. Above him Homage to Chenrezig is the Sangha. I take Refuge in the Three Jewels with my body, holding my hands in the posture of prayer, with my speech, reciting aloud, and with my mind, thinking that I will place absolute reliance upon this Refuge until enlightenment is reached. Then I recall that all beings have at some stage been my mother and I project onto all beings the same desire that I have for my own mother to be free from suffering. With this attitude I recite the Bodhisattva Aspiration Prayer. Then I remain $?3- silent for a while. As I breathe in I visualise a black cloud and imagine that I am inhaling the sufferings and impurities of all [56 beings and I pray, “May all beings be free from suffering”. As I breathe out I imagine that I am sending out white light to all Three beings representing all my own happiness and virtue and I pray, “May all beings have happiness”. This practice embraces the four limitless virtues of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and impartiality. Then, still in silence, I visualise my Guru as Chenrezig radiating brilliant light. As the light touches me and all beings our obscurations, sins and negative tendencies are purified and our bodies become like transparent crystal vases. My teacher, • The whiteness of his Body is purity of mind. • Brilliant white light of the five rainbow colours but predominantly white shines up to the Buddhas summoning them to help all beings and shines on beings purifying them. • The smile is love and compassion like a mother bestows on her only child. 28A- • The four arms are the four limitless virtues of loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and impartiality. The first pair of hands are in the posture of prayer praying to the Buddhas to act for the benefit of all beings. The rosary [58 in one hand represents Chenrezig’s ability to lead beings to liberation. The open lotus in the other hand is vast Four compassion unsullied by samsara. • The silks and jewels are associated with the Sambhogakaya in peaceful form. Things pleasing to the senses are not rejected but integrated with the practice. • The deer skin represents compassion and bodhicitta. It reminds us that the Bodhisattva took birth as a deer and when he was being hunted his compassion for the hunter was so great that he laid down his life. ,/- nirvana. • The moon backrest represents Chenrezig’s ability to protect against the painful burns of defilements. • Chenrezig is inseparable from the other sources of refuge. He is the essence of all Refuges. [59 SHORT PRAYER (p.22) Having visualised Chenrezig, I pray to him with complete devotion. It is necessary to get up from the mediation seat and prostrate, but I do so mentally. A Concise Chenrezig Commentary Chenrezig Concise A representing the three jewels, dissolves into light which is absorbed into us and I think that we are all receiving the Body, ,/- VISUALISATION (p.20) Having arisen from the meditation of Absolute Refuge, I imagine that I and all sentient beings have upon our heads a [57 white lotus with open petals, representing skilful means and compassion, and upon the stamens is a brilliant full-moon disc, representing transcendental wisdom, upon which is the syllable HRI which is the embodiment of all the power of the Buddhas to liberate beings. From the HRI light streams out to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as an offering. The light returns to the HRI giving us the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The light then streams out to all beings purifying them. Then the HRI dissolves into light and out of the light appears Chenrezig. The visualisation of Chenrezig is described in the text and the symbolism is as follows: Commentary Chenrezig Concise A AWARENESS OF OUR IDENTITY WITH CHENREZIG (p.31) Light streams from Chenrezig’s Body and purifies the false appearances created by karma. The world seems solid which it is not and beings assume illusionary forms in the six realms. The light purifies our erroneous perceptions of the impermanent as permanent, of suffering as happiness, of emptiness of self-entity as having self-entity. The light purifies s the inanimate world, or environment, into Dewachen. It purifies our bodies into the Body of Chenrezig, our speech into the [60 Speech of Chenrezig and our mind into the Mind of Chenrezig. The light reveals that all these phenomena are empty. Five MANTRA (p.31) I keep in my mind the contemplation of our identity with Chenrezig as described in the previous section as I recite the mantra. Try to spend as long in this section of the practice as the others put together. PROLONGING THE MEDITATION INTO A CONTINUOUS PRACTICE (p.32) S$- LR/ Suddenly, out of the emptiness, Chenrezig reappears like a fish jumping out of the water. I prepare to return to ordinary samsaric life from the meditation by remembering our identity with Chenrezig and by resolving that I will live my [62 own life with the same motivation that inspires Chenrezig to commit himself to benefiting all sentient beings. Six (end) Six DEDICATION (p.32) If the merit of the practice is not dedicated, we will reap the fruit once. But if we dedicate the merit to the end of attaining the level of Chenrezig for the benefit of all beings, the fruit will be inexhaustible. A A A # , ?- 0 ?- 2 $- ; .- O $?- $9 DEWACHEN (p.34) Finally I dedicate the merit of the meditation for rebirth in Dewachen which will give me much greater power to work for the benefit of other beings. [63 This is possible through the strength of Amitabha’s compassionate wishing prayers. Chenrezig made a vow to Amitabha to lead his devotees to Dewachen and in response Amitabha gave Chenrezig the mantra, ‘Om Mani Peme Hung’. The Mantra of Chenrezig A Concise Chenrezig Commentary Concise Chenrezig A • OM closes the door to birth as a god with the suffering of falling and transmigration. ,/- SILENT MEDITATION (p.32) Stop the mantra. Dissolve the visualisation. Let your mind dwell in it’s natural state without distinguishing between the deity, the meditator and the meditation. Realising the emptiness of the mind and resting in Mahamudra is meeting Chenrezig face-to-face. Commentary Chenrezig Concise A
