To deliver many beings from dreadful places, and so forth.%
These and other signs of virtue%
Should be known as omens of purified obscurations and benefit for others.%
Samaya.%
As for the recitation for self and others without duality,%
By means of the main figure of the mandala,%
Give rise to all the various visualizations%
Of deity, mantra, and all aspects.%
HUNG HRIH!%
Supreme Chief of the Mandala, Guru, manifest from space.%
Uttering the sounds of recitation, I invoke you.%
From the core of your heart-samaya, please come!%
With apparent and empty bodily forms, you fill the billionfold universe.%
With resounding and empty mantra tones of speech, you roar like thunder.%
With the aware and empty space of mind, you rest in the state of luminosity.%
All the deities, delighting in the dance of bliss,%
Invoke the mantras with effortless vajra songs.%
The liberating life force of wisdom endows your mind.%
Until attaining clarity, I will endeavor in visualization and recitation.%
Until I reach perfection, please don’t forsake your intentions!%
Do not forget me; the time for your great heart-samaya has come!%
On this very seat, let me perfect the fourfold Approach and Accomplishment,%
And make me realize the lord of the mandala.%
In my heart center, as the Guru Embodying All Families,%
Within the central sphere of a five-pronged golden vajra,%
Is the white letter HRIH, the spiritual life force, upon a moon disc.%
Surrounding it, the radiant white mantra chain revolves clockwise.%
The strings of five-colored rays of light radiate immensely,%
Making offerings to the victorious ones and their sons abiding in all realms of the ten directions,%
And gathering back the blessings and siddhis of body, speech, and mind.%
Radiating again, they fill the universe and all inhabitants of the three realms,%
Thus purifying the clinging to ordinary experience together with its continuation.%
In the external world, as the realm of the Lotus Net,%
All beings manifest as the forms of the Guru Embodying All Families.%
The resounding yet empty sound of the vajra mantra fills all of space.%
Self-liberated thoughts are the adornment of the space of luminosity.%
Self and others without duality, like the moon in water or like rainbows,%
Are perfected in the single mandala of appearance and existence as manifest ground.%
Recite within the state of indivisible space and awareness:%

Are the root mantra embodying all the vidyadharas.%
By reciting them twelve hundred thousand times, you will attain siddhi.%
At that time, the signs of accomplishment will be,%
In actuality, in vision, or in dreams, though without fixation,%
To meet him face-to-face or hear his voice, to feel great bliss blaze forth,%
To attain powers, to have experience and realization increase,%
To witness dakas and dakinis gather,%
To hear the sounds of song and dance, music and chanting,%
To behold a rain of flowers fall, to be enveloped in exquisite fragrance,%
To have the great resplendence of wisdom descend, and so forth.%
These are explained as the omens of blessing and siddhi.%
Samaya.%
The yogi who has already mastered the Approach%
