The Melodious Song Pleasing the Great Powerful One The Long Sadhana of Most Secret Hayagriva

NAMO GURU HAYAGRIVAYA

Having respectfully paid homage to the magnificent great powerful lotus, the pervading guru Vajradharma, I will explain clearly and concisely the meaning of the actions of the deity. Herein is presented a condensed daily recitation of the activities of the special supreme deity, the destroyer qualified as gone beyond, the Lotus Great Controller Hayagriva, the nine-deity extremely secret wrathful blood drinker. This sadhana is divided into three sections: the preliminary practices, the actual practice, and the concluding practices.

The Preliminary Practices Refuge Until we attain the state of the pervading lord Samantabhadra, I and all sentient beings without exception who equal the sky Take refuge in the Three Jewels – the essence of Rare Sublimity – And in the entire assembly of mandala deities. (3x)

Generating Bodhichitta In order to place all the limitless transmigrating beings, my kind mothers, In the state of peerless buddhahood, I am going to practice the activities of this profound method Of the Great Controller, the Extremely Secret Wrathful One. (3x)

Requesting Prayer to the Lineage Lamas and Collecting Merits The eight-limb practice and so forth OM VAJRA SAMAYA HUM JAH

To Limitless Illumination [Amitabha Buddha], to the Great Powerful Deity, To Padmasambhava, Vairochana, and the assembly of treasure discoverers; To Drubthob Darchyar and so forth, and to all the root and lineage gurus, I make requests. I prostrate to the vajra master and the glorified buddhas abiding in the three times. To the Three Jewels, who are the field of our dependence, I take refuge with a non-dualistic mind. Please accept these pure offerings, Those actually performed and those emanated from my mind. I confess each and every vice, the obstacles severing the stream of attainments. I rejoice in the Dharma, pure [emptiness], the three circles of the ten directions, [buddhas, bodhisattvas, and sentient beings] And in all conduct performed without attachment. I generate the mind of complete enlightenment: The ultimate sphere of dharmakaya purified of ignorance and hallucinations And devoid of the stains of the four extremes: eternalism, nihilism, and so forth. I and all limitless sentient beings Offer our bodies to those abiding in the three times (gurus, buddhas, and so on).

You are the manifestation of great bliss, the [state of] unification, Displaying various emanation bodies: I prostrate to the Magnificent Supreme Stallion. Although completely free from all mental fabrications, You adopt the mode of an illusory woman To subdue by desire those who have desire: I prostrate to the Wrathful Mother. Transformation of the contaminated aggregates is the wisdom holy body Which is completely purified of delusions. You, the four Wrathful Conquerors, fully perform the four activities: To you, I prostrate. You are purified of eternalism, nihilism,and a naturally existing I. [The extreme of eternalism is samsara, the extreme of nihilism is the sorrowless state of the lesser vehicle. The way of liberating from these two is – as mention in the teachings of the Abhisamayalankara – by having wisdom you don’t abide in samsara, by having compassion you don’t abide in peace. One should stop the two extremes, eternalism and nihilism, by having wisdom realizing emptiness and by great compassion. This contains the inherent existence of the person and the inherent existence of phenomena (the aggregates). See Liberation in the Palm of your Hand by Pabongka Rinpoche or any teachings by H. H.

You are the essence of four means of drawing: [giving, speaking sweetly, working for others, and practicing what you teach] And the essence of immeasurable thought. Hooking, entering, binding, and controlling, To you, the Ladies of the Four Doors, I prostrate. In order to subdue all vicious beings You are extremely wrathful, overwhelming, and irresistible, And well-aligned like a blazing garland: I prostrate to all those who abide by the order (the protectors). Having the completely purified twelve related dependent limbs And the nature of the thirty-seven dharmas leading in the direction of enlightenment, Essence of great bliss, well completed; To that unfathomable mansion, I prostrate. Ground, fence, and tent of non-dual wisdom vajra, Having blazing heaps of wisdom fire: To that protecting wheel, I prostrate. By this virtue of offering praises to you, May I completely eliminate the obstacles of the path, May I fully complete the two accumulations in this life, And attain enlightenment, the essence of the four holy bodies.

The unification of bliss and voidness in the play of illusory form Satisfies the holy minds of the oceans of commanded and pledged protectors. I confess from my heart all the collections of mistakes, transgressions and misunderstandings. By satisfying your holy minds and reviving all degenerated and broken samayas, You remove all obstructing conditions and accomplish every harmonious condition without exception.

Praise and Request for the Activities HUM To you, the ocean of those living in samaya, who live in the order with their retinue; Who, out of compassion, arose in the form of the holy body From the unborn sphere [dharmakaya] in order to protect the teaching of the Buddha, With a mind of devotion, I prostrate and offer praises. By accepting this ocean of offering tormas made with consecrated substances, May all of us –masters, disciples and all surrounding beings – Accomplish, without the mind being distracted, the four activities. May the teachings of the Buddha spread and increase.

The “essential substances” are offerings of high quality blessed in the nature of nectar. “Essential” here refers to the substances having the special qualities of color, taste, tangible objects, and power. “Taste” also refers to the supreme taste, which is sweet with a cool sensation. Like the moon, milk, or the color of mercury, they are white and pure. The power the offering objects possess is the power of being able to restore life to those who have died. “Mamsa” is defined as meat. The words “so forth” refer to various tsog substances such as wine, flowers, light offerings, fruit, incense, and so on.

Please accept all that I offer as most pure and perfect. Bless me, the yogi, [with] the supreme tangible objects of the humans, female beings. The commentary states the above as “…the human daughters,” which pertains to the consort that helps you to develop the extremely subtle wisdom, the clear light, the simultaneously born bliss and wisdom, which is the quickest method to cut the defilements.

Please make all these substance of achievement powerful (by means of) HUM and PHAT. By expressing “HUM” one is able to generate the ultimate realization of bliss and voidness in one’s mental continuum. Through expressing “PHAT” one developing ones mental continuum to be capable of eliminating the demon, self-grasping, in the sphere of emptiness.

Dedication by the composer of the sadhana: By spreading this attaining method of the Great Controlling Extremely Secret Wrathful One whose action is condensed, clarified and made easy may I be happily (pleased) guided by the Guru Deity and accomplish spontaneously all the works for self and others.

Original Colophon: This which is called La Chung (this text) action transformation integrated into essence of Melodious Song Pleasing the Great Controlling One of the Special Sublime Deity Lotus Great Controlling Hayagriva Extremely Secret Wrathful Blood Drinker Nine-Deities. I, the follower of the advice of the holy Gurus, Samaya Vajra (Kalka Damtsig Dorje), wrote down well in the great Dharma learning monastery Glorified Sera Dechen Ling, originator of oceans of learned attained ones, as I was persuaded precisely by many virtuous friends who practiced this sublime deity as mind-sealing deity (yidam) for something like this for their daily practice which has all the meaning of the elaborate La Chung but less words. The writing was done by one who is possessor of expanding the extensive infinite scripture the virtuous friend Losang Tseten. By this merit may the stainless precious teaching of the sutra tantra of the Soft Savior Victorious One (Tsongkhapa) never be degenerated and spread in all directions at all times and be developed and last a long time. This text was spread with Dharma charity without bearing hardships by Sera Je Geshe Sengye. By this merit may the life of the holy body of the Snow Land savior

and his holy actions be increased, and may the virtue and signs of the teaching of the transmigratory beings in the Snow Land be increased.

Translator’s Colophon and Dedication First translated from the Tibetan by Gelongma Jamyang Wangmo, with the kind assistance of Chatro Rinpoche, Keusang Rinpoche, Khamtrul Rinpoche and Venerable Lhagdor. Dharamsala, March 1996. Due to these merits, may the life and activities of the protector of the Land of Snows, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, increase and develop. May the Dharma flourish. May all beings be happy. Additional translation/editorial work has been done by Lama Zopa Rinpoche working together with various students, including Tom Szymanski, Karuna Cayton, Judith Hunt, and Ven. Sarah Thresher. Light editorial polishing and formatting by Ven. Constance Miller, FPMT Education Department, November 1999. Tibetan phonetics checked against the original Tibetan text by Ven. Constance Miller, July 2003.

Note on the Translation: Lama Zopa Rinpoche has given the following input regarding this text: “The Hayagriva sadhana is extremely complicated. Logically, the words do not make sense a lot of the time as it is a secret tantra. One basically needs a direct understanding of emptiness to really understand the meaning of this sadhana. Even in the Tibetan, the text is extremely unclear and there are many different ways to interpret it.”
