Guru Yoga 2As requested, Rinpoche will teach དགའ་ལྡན་སྙན་རྒྱུད་ཀྱི་བླ་མའི་རྣལ་འབྱོར་ཉམས་སུ་བླངས་ཚུལ། “How to practice Guru Yoga from the Ganden Nyengyu Tradition” (Ear to ear Ganden lineage). This exceptional “Lamai Naljor” practice is the “pure vision lineage” of Master Tsongkhapa received from Manjushri who is directly connected to Vajradhara- the primordial Buddha. Guru Yoga is the root foundation of all spiritual attainments and it is the most powerful life force practice path in Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa tradition. A sincere practice of Guru Yoga empowers the practitioner to receive the blessings of all Enlightened beings because the ultimate Guru is the non-dual nature of all the Buddhas of the three times. It is stated in the scriptures that a proper Guru Yoga is the most essential and mandatory practice in establishing genuine connection with our Guru. Most importantly it enables the practitioner’s mind to merge with the Master’s blissful wisdom which is the pure clear light nature of our primordial mind. Traditionally, this practice consists of six introductory dharma: སྦྱོར་ཆོས་དྲུག་དང་སྦྱོར་བ། 1) Cleaning the room and setting up altar. གནས་ཁང་བྱི་དོར་བྱས་ལ་སྐུ་གསུང་ཐུགས་ཀྱི་རྟེན་དགྲམ་པ། 2) Finding pure offerings and arranging them well. མཆོད་པ་གཡོ་མེད་པ་བཙལ་ལ་བཀོད་པས་མཛེས་པར་བཤམ་པ། 3) Sitting in relaxation and generating good minds. སྟན་བདེ་བར་ཆོས་བདུན་ལྡན་དུ་འཁོད་དེ་སྐྱབས་འགྲོ་སེམས་བསྐྱེད་བྱ་བ། 4) visualizing the merit-field and inviting the wisdom-being. ཚོགས་ཞིང་གསལ་འདེབས་ལ་འགུག་བཞུགས་བྱ་བ། 5) Doing the seven-limbs prayer and offering the mandalas. བསག་སྦྱང་ཡན་ལག་བདུན་པ་བྱས་ལ་ཕྱི་ནང་གསང་གསུམ་གྱི་མནྜལ་འབུལ་བ། 6) Requesting the blessings and dissolving into the heart. གསོལ་འདེབས་བྱིན་རླབས་ཞུས་ལ་སྙིང་དབུས་སུ་བསྟིམ་པར་བྱ་བ་བཅས་སོ།།
