A Guru Yoga that Brings the Dharmakaya Onto the Path

- a practice profound of meaning and rich with blessing
  for the modern regular practitioner with limited time

Serkhang Choje 
"The Serkhang Chojé," a most blessed statue of Kyobpa Rinpoché enshrined in the Golden Temple at Drikung Thil Monastery.

Refuge and bodhicitta:
Vajradhara Lama, embodiment of the Three Jewels,
I take refuge in you, and will until I attain enlightenment;
Sentient beings, victims of confused-projection suffering,
I generate the mindset for enlightenment in order to  
 establish you all in the non-abiding state.   recite three times

Visualization:
Lord Vajradhara, Jigten Sumgön, you
Sit on a seat of the ten strengths, four fearlessnesses, and  
 eighteen unmixed dharmas; your  
Major and minor marks of love, compassion, and bodhicitta
 radiate rays of light; and your
Non-conceptual enlightened activities reach all migrators equally.
 
Mantra recitation:
OM AH RATNA SHRI SARVA SIDDHI HUNG   accumulate many recitations
 

Blessing supplication:
You are the buddhas Nagakulapradipa and Dipankara of the past,
Maitreya of the future, and Shakyamuni of the present; the  
Reincarnation of Nagarjuna; the peerless Ratna Shri –
Lord Jigten Sumgön, I supplicate you.   recite three or more times 

Empowerment and dissolution:
Light rays emanate from the lama’s body, speech, and mind and  
Dissolve into my four places, thereby purifying the four obscurations,
Bestowing the four empowerments, and planting the seeds of the four kayas; the
Lama then dissolves into myself; my mind is now natural luminosity-emptiness.
                                                      rest in the mind-as-it-is

Dedication:
Through both the innate virtue and the virtue accumulated in the  
 three times by all in samsara and nirvana,  
May I and all sentient beings filling space, none left out,  
Realize the co-emergent ultimate reality and  
Attain the final state of non-abidance in existence or peace.
