Refuge and Bodhichitta

I go for refuge until I am enlightened
To the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Supreme Assembly.
By this practice of giving and other perfections,
May I become a buddha in order to benefit all sentient beings. (3x)

Invocation
Instantly I arise as Vajravarahi (Indra Khachod). At my heart, on a
lotus and sun-mandala is a red BAM. From it rays of light shine forth
invoking the Guru and Lady Vajravarahi who is summoned by the
Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
OM VAJRA SAMADZAH

Seven Limb Prayer

With my body, speech and mind, humbly I prostrate,
And make offerings both set out and imagined.
I declare my wrong deeds from all time,
And rejoice in the virtues of all.
Please stay until samsara ceases,
And turn the wheel of Dharma for us.
I dedicate all virtues to great enlightenment.

Four Immeasurables
May all sentient beings have happiness and its cause.
May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its cause.
May all sentient beings be inseparable from sorrowless bliss.
May all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free of bias, both greed and
hatred.

Self-Generation
OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM
Everything becomes void.
Out of Emptiness, in the center of a dharmodaya, on a moon disk,
comes AM, which transforms into BAM, the essence of my mind
and of the blazing tummo at my navel. I transform into Venerable
Vajravarahi, red in color like red lead, upon a lotus, sun and moon
seat, trampling on the three worlds with my right leg extended in the
manner of a wrestlers throw. I have one face with three eyes, contracted in a frown, very fierce, a terrifying, and coming out of the right side
of my head a very wrathful pigs face. My brown head hair twists upward.
I am adorned with five dry skulls on my forehead and a garland of human
skulls on the body, beautified with the five symbolic ornaments. I am naked
and have two arms, my right hand holding a vajra knife turned inwards, my
left a blood-filled skull. In my armpit rests a khatvanga.
At my forehead is white OM, at my throat red AH, at my heart dark-blue
HUM from which light rays spread forth summoning from Khechara, the
place of heavenly enjoyment, the wisdom-being surrounded by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
OM VAJRA SAMADZAH
DZA HUM BAM HOH
I become one with the wisdom beings.
Then again from the HUM at the center of my heart, light rays shine forth
summoning the five Buddha families and their retinue.
OM VAJRA SAMADZAH

Offerings
Make offerings to the five Buddha families with:
OM PANJA KULA SAPARIVARA ARGHAM, PADAM, PUSHPE,
DHUPE, ALOKE, GHANDE, NAIVIDIYA, SHABDA PRATICCHA
SVAHA

Mantra Recitation
Recite the mantra, visualizing a dharmodaya and mantra wheel at the heart.
I and all visible things are of the nature of Vajrayoginis body.
O O O SARVA BUDDHA KINYE VAJRAVARNANYE
VAJRAVAIROCANYE H H H PHA PHA PHA
SVH

Say the mantra once more, then recognize all sounds as of the nature of Vajrayoginis speech and all thoughts as manifestations of her mind of great Wisdom.

Dedication
By whatever good Ive done in the three times,
May all sentient beings as far as the ends of space
Become fit vessels for highest Vajrayana
And also reach the state of Vajradhara!
