The Protectors
The Combined Essence of a Daily Torma Offering to the Three Roots and
the Oath Bound Protectors
Namo Guru Vajradhara Ye!
Set out the torma offerings, principally the samaya substances of meat
and alcohol, and sprinkle them with amrita. Maintaining the pride of
yourself as a yidam, cleanse and purify by reciting:
RAM YAM KHAM
From within emptiness, above wind, fire and a hearth of skulls,
Are the five meats and five nectars in a skullcup.
These boil and dissolve into light, becoming the vital essence of
inexhaustible amrita,
Billowing forth as massing clouds of an ocean of sense pleasures.
Consecrate the offerings with:
OM AH HUNG HO
HUNG HRI
From the pure realms of the entire vast array of the victorious ones of
the three kayas,
Lamas, yidams, dakinis, dharma protectors,
Nodchin, wealth gods, lords of terma and of localities,
Moved by compassion, all of you please approach this place.
Invite them with:
OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA DEWA DAKINI SARWA DHARMAPALA BASUDEWA
NIDHIPATI BHUMIPATI SAPARIWARA BENZAR SA MA DZA
Request them to remain with:
DZA HUNG BAM HO SAMAYA TIK TREN TU
Prostrate to them with the following, and imagine that they grant your
request with:
AHTI PU HO PRATITTSA HO
HUNG. Both actual offerings and those that arise from meditative
absorption,
The pleasures enjoyed through the senses, medicine, rakta, torma, tsog
and so forth,
Form clouds of offerings filling the entire vastitude of space.
Partake of this offering and grant us sublime and ordinary siddhis!
Make the general offerings with:
OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA DEWA DAKINI SHRI DHARMAPALA BASUDEWA
NIDHIPATI BHUMIPATI SAPARIWARA
ARGHAM PADYAM PUSHPE DHUPE ALOKE GHENDHE NEWIDYA SHAPDA PRATITSA SO HA
MAHA PANTSA AMRITA KHA HI MAHA RAKTA KHA HI
For the specific offerings, imagine:
The deities draw up the vital essence of the torma through tubes of
light rays from their vajra tongues and partake of it. Offer the torma
with three or seven repetitions of the following mantra, each time
making the offering mudra with vajra palms opening facing upward, ending
each with a snap of the fingers.
OM AH HUNG BENZAR GURU PEDMA DEWA DAKINI SARWA DHARMA PALA BASU DEWA
NIDHI PATI BHUMI PATI SAPARIWARA IDAM BALINGTA KHA KHA KHA HI KHA HI
HUNG HRI
Vidyadhara lamas who cause the clouds of blessings to amass,
Peaceful and wrathful meditational deities who cause a rain of
attainments to descend,
Dakas and dakinis who enact unrivaled enlightened activity –
I praise you with devotion. Grant us sublime and ordinary siddhis!
HUNG
The supreme skillful means of great bliss is Legden Nagpo,
The four-armed Mahakala, the five classes of Gonpo, Maha Deva,
Shenpa, Rahula, Dorje Legpa, Dudgon and son on –
I prostrate to and praise the lordly legions of protectors of the
masculine lineage.
The consort of the sphere of wisdom, Ekadzati,
Rangjung Gyalmo, Dur Trod Mamo,
The five Tseringma sisters, Dorje Yudronma, the Tenma goddesses and so
on –
I prostrate to and praise the legions of mamos of phenomenal existence.
The powerful Maning of non-dual wisdom.
The thirty generals, the feminine and masculine guardians of Vajrakilaya,
Nodchin, wealth gods and lords of terma and of localities –
I prostrate to and praise all who protect the forces of good.
In accepting this torma and an ocean of desired
Sense pleasures, each of you in accordance with your intentions,
As you were commanded and bound by your oaths to the root and lineage
lamas,
Bestow on us yogis and our retinues
The most sublime form of pacifying activity! Give rise to our splendor
and charisma through enriching activity!
Subdue the world with your beneficial influence! Tame the forces of
dualistic obstruction and harm with wrathful activity.
Cause the holders of the teachings to live long! Spread the doctrine and
practice of the teachings.
Enact activities that will increase the bliss and happiness of all
beings!
In this way, make offerings and entreat their enlightened activities.
HUNG
In the center of the celestial mansion, within the play of the terrible
charnel ground,
Are the wrathful sense offerings that arise from the liberation of the
forces of dualistic obstruction,
And substances for offering, support, fulfillment and sadhana practice.
May this inexhaustible wealth of desirables
Fulfill the sacred bond with Legden, the four armed Mahakala, the five
classes of glorious Gonpo,
Maha Deva, Shenpa Marnag, Rahula, Dudgon and the rest!
May it fulfill the sacred bond with you hosts of lord protectors of the
masculine lineage!
Tame the hordes of mara with the force of the Vajra cannibal!
May it fulfill the sacred bond with Ekadzati, Rangjung Palbarma,
Dur Trod Lhamo, the five Tsering sisters and the rest!
May it fulfill the sacred bond with you, the ten million mamos of the
world of phenomenal appearances!
Liberate the forces of dualistic obstruction by the strength of your
ardent compassion!
May it fulfill the sacred bond with the glorious lord protector Maning,
the thirty generals,
The feminine and masculine guardians of Vajrakilaya and the powerful
ones of the world of all phenomenal appearances.
May it fulfill the sacred bond with the whole array of those who protect
the forces of good!
Cast down the forces that obstruct the teachings!
May it fulfill the sacred bond with Namtosei, Dzambala, Tsogkyi Dagpo,
Dorje Duddul and the hundreds of thousands of nodchin!
May it fulfill the sacred bond with the oceans of jewel-like
treasure-holders,
Extend our lifespans, enrich our splendor, and increase our wealth of
sense pleasures!
In brief, may the sacred bond be fulfilled with you hosts of dharma
guardians
And wealth deities who have made pledges in the presence of the
Vidyadhara lamas of the three lineages!
May our sacred bond be fulfilled to your delight!
At this time, grant us the results to which we yogins aspire!
If you wish to include additional protector prayers, insert there here.
Finally, sprinkle amrita on the offering torma and say:
OM AH HUNG HO
The torma, which is the flesh and blood of the forces of dualistic
obstruction, emanates forth as massing ocean-like clouds of sense
pleasures, which possess thenature of the amrita of primordial wisdom.
HUNG
Protector Heruka, supreme skillful means of great bliss,
Ekadzati, single essence of the sphere of wisdom,
Their non-duality arising through the central channel as the black Gonpo
Maning,
And the hosts of arrogant ones of the three lineages, approach!
This is the torma of the mountains of flesh and oceans of blood of the
forces of dualistic hindrance,
A treasury of sense pleasures, by nature the amrita of primordial
wisdom.
I offer these superb clouds of offerings, from which fall a rain of
everything delightful,
As a great sign of my appreciation for the excellence you have carried
out formerly,
Accept it now as a token. To reiterate the activities that I presently
request –
Guard the teachings of the buddhas, extend the lifespans of those who
hold these teachings,
Protect the communities of sangha and increase benefit and happiness in
the world.
In particular, we who are teachers and students, patrons and
beneficiaries,
Guard and protect us undistractedly until we attain enlightenment.
Dispel all adverse conditions and bring a rain of supportive conditions!
Whether pacifying, enriching, attracting, or liberating,
Quickly accomplish whatever enlightened activities I entrust to you!
This is an easy-to-use practical beneficial to self and others, compiled
from the realizations of many vidyadhara’s into a concise liturgy by
Jigdral Yeshe Dorje.
OM SHRI BENZAR DHARMAPALA SAPARIWARA ARGHAM PADYAM PUSHPE DHUPE ALOKE
GHENDE NEWIDYA SHAPDA PRATITSA SO HA
In the presence of the glorious Heruka,
Just as you promised in the past, now at this time,
Guard the doctrine and protect the practitioners.
To all the protectors of the doctrine, I render praise!
Thus, make offerings and render praise.
Whatever unwholesome deeds I have unknowingly committed
By not having the ability to act properly, and for
Whatever mistakes I have made at this time,
For all such shortcomings, please grant forgiveness.
Confessing mistakes, recite the one hundred syllable mantra.
Here, inseparable from these objects,
Please remain for as long as samsara exists,
Bestowing upon us health, life, wealth,
Glory, and supreme attainments, and all that is the most excellent and
auspicious!
OM SU PRA TI TRA BENZAR YE SO HA
Thus, the commitment being and the primordial wisdom beings dissolve
into the support.
If there is no support, then:
OM. You who accomplish the purpose of all sentient beings,
Accordingly bestow spiritual attainments.
Although you return to the Buddha’s pure land,
May you return once again to bestow blessings.
BENZAR MU
The primordial wisdom beings depart and the commitment beings dissolve
into oneself.
To dismiss the worldly protectors recite:
GATSA GATSA SOBHAWA NAM
Dedicate the Merit:
By this merit, may I swiftly
Accomplish the glorious Heruka, and
May all beings without exception
Accomplish that very status.
Prayers of auspicious good fortune:
In the past, in the presence of the great teacher from Orgyen,
For the purpose of individuals who aspire to accomplish the dharma,
You vowed to protect them like a mother protects her only child.
May there arise the good fortune of all the dharma protectors and
guardians.
Persevering in the activity of protecting the Buddha’s doctrine,
Assisting all yogins to uphold their vajra words of honor and
Accomplishing the orders given by Padmasambhava,
May there arise the good fortune of the ocean of oath-bound protectors!
Close on a note of well-being and excellence, dedicate the virtue, and
recite prayers of auspicious wishes.
Both oneself and others benefit from this easy-to-use daily practice,
and for this reason I, Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje, compiled the sources of many
vidyadhara’s realization into a concise liturgy.
Gya! Dza Yantu!
A Concise Torma Offering to the Protectress of the Secret Mantra, Mamo
Ngag Sun Ma -- Ekadzati
OM SO STI
If you wish to make the torma offering to the goddess of primordial
wisdom, the dharma protectress of the meditation cycle of the Profound
Path of the Heart Drop of the Dakini – the Zab Lam Khandro Thug Tig,
then prepare in the following way.
In a clean vessel place a triangular shaped torma adorned with flesh and
blood, and carefully arrange the various offering substances of amrita,
rakta, and the offerings which please the senses such as flowers,
incense, light, perfume and food.
Having performed the preliminary generation of self as the primordial
wisdom deity, purify the offering torma with:
RAM YAM KHAM
From a state of emptiness, above wind, fire and a hearth of skulls,
Are the five meats and five nectars in a skullcup.
Boiling and dissolving into light, they become the vital essence of
inexhaustible amrita,
Billowing forth as massing clouds of an ocean of sense pleasures.
Consecreate with OM AH HUNG
Purify the in-front support with:
OM SOBHAWA SHUDDHA SARWA DHARMA SOBHAWA SHUDDHO HAM
Before me, in the center of a lake of blood whose rocky shore is of
white skeletons and bones,
Is a red and black triangular pillar of fire and wind, in the center of
which,
Upon a lotus, sun, moon and corpse seat,
From JHYO arises the glorious protectress of mantra.
Her body is maroon in color. She is holding a corpse club and a heart.
On her forehead is a single eye, in her mouth a single tooth,
On her chest a single breast, and a single lock of iron hair flows
upward.
The great terrifying mother delights in the dance of rage.
Inhaling, she steals the life force of enemies, demons and negative
obstructing forces.
From her three places, light emanates, inviting the primordial wisdom
beings.
Clearly visualizing in this way, recite:
JHYO. The womb of the consort, great bliss Kuntuzangmo,
The realm free of elaboration, self arisen primordial wisdom,
From the dharmakaya mandala beyond concept,
Arises the emanation body of compassion,
The great queen of all dakinis,
The subduer of the three realms of existence, Ral Chig Ma.
Protectress of the Secret Mantra, consort of liberation,
Maroon wrathful mother, please come!
Through our devotion and your samaya vow,
Only mother, please come! Please come!
Invoked by your vajra brother,
Oath-bound sister, come now to this place.
TRAG RAKSHA SAPRIWARA EH HAYA HI BENZAR SAMA DZA DZA HUNG BAM HO
In this way perform the invitation.

Offering the torma repeat this three or seven times, then:
HUNG MAMA EKADZATI SAMAYA HRING HRING DZA DZA SAPARIWARA IDAM BALINGTA
KHA KHA KHA HI KHA HI
JHYO. From the charnel ground blazing with volcanic fire,
Comes the terrifying slayer, the maroon wrathful mother.
Wearing a scarf of clouds on her sky body,
She drinks the blood and eats the hearts of vow breakers.
Her corpse club shatters the heart of the enemy.
The great terrifying mother has a single lock of hair glowing upward.
With the single eye on her forehead she sees all that is in the three
realms of existence.
With her single tooth she kills the enemy.
With her single breast she protects the excellent practitioner as her
child.
Accept this red torma – a wealth of flesh and blood.
Through the power of your samaya, execute those who break their vows.
Mamo Ekadzati, because of your delight,
Accomplish the activities entrusted to you.
Now is the time to fulfill your samaya.
Thus, render praise:
Ngag Sun Mamo, having fulfilled the sacred bond with you,
Increase and spread the great secret doctrine.
Pacify our adverse circumstances and increase favorable conditions.
Leaving nothing undone, spontaneously accomplish all that is desired.
Thus, concerned activity is requested.
Having offered the torma, confess all mistakes.
Dissolve the primordial wisdom being into the support and absorb the
samaya being into oneself.
Dedicate the merit and generate happiness and excellence with auspicious
wishes.
This daily torma offering which is a source of happiness was written by
Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje. DZA YANTU

The
Inexpressible Absolute Confession
Behold the self-manifest primordial wisdom mandala
encompassing space.
OM. The supreme embodiment of primordial wisdom, the
natural mandala,
Although without elaboration, just like the full moon,
Appears as the display of compassion, without bias,
equally, like the clear light of the sun,
Please come here, listen to me and be seated.
Inexpressible wisdom, the immovable dharmakaya,
The great bliss sambhogakaya, the five Buddhas and their
families,
The deities of the play of the vast display of the
skillful method of loving kindness,
To the peaceful and wrathful nirmanakaya buddhas I bow
down.
Actual material endowments and those mentally manifest,
Like limitless clouds of Samantabhadra’s offerings,
Are perfectly arranged throughout the reaches of the pure
sphere of space.
I offer this ocean of outer, inner, and secret offerings.
In the secret womb of Samantabhadri (Kuntuzangmo)
Dwell the vast multitudes of the mandalas of the buddhas
without exception.
Within the one taste of changelessness,
Take pleasure in the indivisible awakened mind.
The mind’s nature is the great space of the dharmadhatu.
All phenomena are perfectly pure as the primordial realm
of clear light.
The nature of this practice is the sphere beyond thought
and speech.
I bow down constantly to this awakened mind in the nature
of equality.
Within the great perfection of Samantabhadra, which has
prevailed from the very beginning,
Are the great arrangements of outer, inner and secret
mandalas.
In the pure display of phenomenal existence as the sphere
of male and female deities,
All that appears and transforms is the spontaneous
expression of male-female.
Great Mistress, who possesses the form of the ultimate
great secret,
In the center of your lotus, the vast expanse of the
sphere of space
Is the clear light realm of the great bindu of
non-duality,
The embodiment of the essence of the awakened mind,
uncontrived without complexity.
All appearances, are the deities of infinite great bliss.
This secret mandala devoid of gathering and dispersing,
Is the great self-nature as the five Buddha families,
male and female,
The family of bodhisattvas, the hosts of male and female
wrathful deities,
The assembly of vajra goddesses and the lords, masters of
the assemblies,
The five glorious herukas of the five Buddha families,
the ten wrathful deities and their consorts,
The four gate keepers of the sacred places and countries,
The many assemblies of primordial wisdom emanation
deities,
Who are as loving as mothers and as affectionate as
sisters,
The dakinis who weigh good and evil and pronounce the
judgments of samaya, and
Hosts of outer and inner dakinis and yoginis.
All of you who uphold the vajra commitment, please bear
witness to me.
Descendants of the vajra lineage pure-awareness holders,
myself and others,
Who generate the awakened mind for the purpose of all
beings,
In order to reach the unsurpassed state of awakening,
We practice the various individual disciplines of the
ocean of teachings,
Maintain the supreme vow of the union of body, speech and
mind, and
The vajra samaya, not lightly transgressed and necessary
to maintain.
All general and extraordinary samaya,
That I successively received and swore to preserve,
Were never intended to be lost or transgressed.
With no intention to deviate or abandon them, yet
Due to laziness, I have postponed the practices.
Without achieving accomplishment, my meditation potential
is feeble.
Lacking mindfulness and overpowered by carelessness,
I have not persevered in meditation, and have been
distracted during mantra recitation.
Concerning the root samaya of body, speech and mind,
Overpowered by my lack of awareness, both knowingly and
unknowingly,
I have transgressed my teacher’s words and contradicted
the vows.
Any practitioner who has allowed samaya to deteriorate
Should not be associated with, even for an instant.
Although stated in the scriptures, this is difficult to
adhere to.
The secret path is difficult to define, and so hard to
understand clearly.
Lacking omniscience, it is difficult to discern who is at
fault.
I have associated with transgressors in feast and
fulfillment restoration ceremonies.
I have spoken about Dharma to transgressors and improper
vessels, and
I have failed to be conscientious about deteriorations,
their faults and so forth.
I have befriended transgressors. And due to all of this,
These faults of the obscuration of defilement, whatever
they may be,
Are the cause of obstructing conditions in this life and
will obscure the future.
With a mind of overwhelming regret and remorse I
completely confess.
Please pay heed to me with your loving compassion and
Place me firmly in the sphere of non-duality.
Although you abide in the state of equanimity free of
conceptualization,
Please bestow perfectly the blessings of absolute
non-duality.
If non-conceptual absolute truth is free from
elaboration,
Whatever thought formations exist, become non-conceptual.
Due to the power of conventional truth, which is merely
illusory,
For the faults committed, with personal remorse I request
forgiveness.
This extract is the fourth chapter of the Confession
Tantra, The Stainless King. Translated into Tibetan by Vimalamitra and
Nyak Jnanakumara. SAMAYA
(Repeat the One-Hundred Syllable Mantra.)
From the Stainless Secret of Vajrasattva: The Doctrine of the King of
Purification, the Essence of Confession
OM. Buddha Kuntuzangpo, the primordial ground,
Vajrasattva, the Vajra Tathagata,
Great Daka (Hero), protector of beings,
Look upon me with your gaze of wisdom and loving intent.
AH. Though primordially unborn and pure from the beginning,
In the face of sudden confusion, all discursive thoughts arise.
Through this condition of the appearance of ignorance’s duality, all
deteriorations
I confess in the expanse of the great pure consort of the dharmadhatu.
BENZAR. Secret lord, proclaimer of the vajra samaya,
Every broken vow and damaged pledge of the
One-hundred thousand body, speech, mind, and secret samayas,
I confess with absolute shame and remorse.
SATTVA. Having passed the time limit when violations become faults,
Which are the cause of harsh punishment,
At the command of the vajra dakinis, the monitors of karma,
I confess the accumulated causes of the great hells that obscure this
life and the next.
HUNG. Great Vajra, Primordial King,
Inconceivable, free of damage and confession,
Kuntuzangpo, the expanse of pure awareness, perfect from the beginning,
Within the expanse of the dharmadhatu, without gathering or separation –
AH.
(Repeat the one hundred syllable mantra.)
This King of Confessions, in just a few words, can stir samsara from its
depths like alchemy applied to iron. It is an oral instruction to
protect beings who have fallen subject to ignorance and thus violations
of samaya. This arose from the sphere of the mind of Samantabhadra and
was written down in code script for the sake of future generations. May
it meet with my heart son, an emanation of myself.
SAMAYA GYA GYA GYA
This was established from code script by Trakthung Pawo. (Do Khentse
Yeshe Dorje)
All deteriorated and broken samaya (are purified)
By the power of reciting this king of confessions.
By stirring the depths of the three realms of samsara,
May (all beings) attain the enlightened expanse of the three kayas.
