Palden Lhamo Practice

Palden Lhamo 247.jpg



There are so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are constantly willing to help all living beings overcome suffering, and the reason they reached enlightenment is their willingness to help other sentient beings. They are willing to protect day and night, twentyfour hours a day. The most important and powerful protector deity in Buddhist history is the female protector deity, Panden Lhamo.

Nevertheless, even though these enlightened beings, including Panden Lhamo, are always willing to help, it is necessary for us to cultivate this potential within ourselves. We need to be open to receive the blessings of these deities. Panden Lhamo practices vary widely, offering many levels of practice to assist individuals, families, and communities to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.


Cultivating the Correct Motivation

Set a positive motivation and recite the Prayer of Refuge and Bodhicitta and The Four Immeasurable Thoughts.


Prayer of Refuge and Bodhicitta

I take refuge until I am enlightened In the Buddhas, the Dharma and the Sangha Through the merit I create by practicing giving and the other perfections May I attain Buddhahood for the sake of all sentient beings.


SANG GYAY CHO DANG TSOG KYI CHOG NAM LA JANG CHUB BAR DU DAG NI KYAB SU CHI DAG GI JIN SOG GYI PAY SO NAM GYI DRO LA PEN CHIR SANG GYAY DRUB BAR SHOG


Long-Life Prayer for His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In the heavenly realm of Tibet, surrounded by a chain of snow mountains, The source of all happiness and help for beings is Tenzin Gyatso, Chenrezig in person. May his life be secure for hundreds of kalpas.

GANG RI RA WAY KOR WEY SHING KHAM DHIR PHEN DANG DEY WA MA LU JUNG WAY NAY CHENREZIG WANG TENZIN GYATSO YI SHAB PEY SI TEY PAR DU TEN GYUR CHIG


The Four Immeasurable Thoughts

May all sentient beings have happiness and the causes of happiness; May all sentient beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering; May all sentient beings never be separated from the happiness that knows no suffering; May all sentient beings live in equanimity, free from attachment and aversion.

SEM CHEN TAM CHAY DE WA DANG DE WAY GYU DANG DEN PAR GYUR CHIG SEM CHEN TAM CHAY DUG NGEL DANG DUG NGEL KYI GYU DANG DEL WAR GYUR CHIG SEM CHEN TAM CHAY DUG NGEL ME PAY DE WA DANG MI DREL WAR GYUR CHIG SEM CHEN TAM CHAY NYE RING CHAG DANG NYI DANG DREL WAY DANG NYOM LA NAY PAR GYUR CHIG


Self-Generation

Begin by meditating on emptiness (sunyata). Allow ordinary appearances and the ordinary ‘I’ to dissolve into emptiness. Remain in this understanding of emptiness for as long as possible. (If you have had any tantric deity initiation, there will arise from the emptiness the image of yourself as the yiddam, and for this meditation you will generate yourself as Yamantaka.) Then recite the invocation of Panden Lhamo.


Short Invocation to Panden Lhamo

Jo Manifestation of the power of infinite enlightened beings, Supreme dakini, we call you Maksor Gyemo. With a pure mind and sincere motivation I invite you. Please appear instantly, without obstruction.

Fearsome clouds of black smoke arise in space before me. Assuming the form of an ogress, she holds a vajra mace in her right hand and a human skull cap filled with blood in her left. Astride a mule, her wrathful body conquers all delusions. Appearing when we invoke her name, she will be with us always.

Clouds of external offerings extend throughout space as far as they eye can see. The foundation of the earth is filled with inner offerings, our practice commitments. The entire universe is full of the offering clouds that emanate from my mind. May they increase all joy and completely satisfy her five senses and those of her entourage.

Wishing and Requesting


For myself and all sentient beings, from here until eternity, I wish for us to never be separate from our secret female dakini. And whenever any obstacles arise, Please remove them and grant us your protection.


DAK SOK DI NAY TSE RAB TAMCHAY TU SANGWAY LHAMO KYUR TANG MI TEL SHING PAR CHED GYE KYI TSEN MA JI CHUNG YANG TE KUN LHAMO KYUR KYI DOK DU SOL


Bodhicitta Prayer

May the supreme jewel bodhicitta That has not arisen arise and grow, And may that which has arisen not diminish But increase more and more.

JANG CHUB SEM CHOG RIN PO CHE MA KYE PA NAM KYE GYUR CHIG KYE PA NYAM PA MAY PA YANG GONG NAY GONG DU PEL WAR SHOG


Dedication of Merit

Through this virtuous action May I quickly attain the state of a guru-buddha And lead every being, without exception, Into that pure world.

Seven Limb Prayer

Jo, No one can measure your qualities; Your wisdom, compassion, and activities are as boundless as space. To you, bodhisattva emanation, I respectfully prostrate with body, speech, and mind.

Although you do not seek my offerings, I make them in order to achieve the highest result. May countless pleasurable offerings rain throughout space To increase the bliss of your five senses.

You see all virtue and non-virtue And the faults of my body, speech, and mind are countless. With deep regret I sincerely confess them all to you. Please remove my obscurations with your powerful compassion.

Noble One, you are lifted from samsara And you accomplish everything for the benefit of sentient beings. With sincere admiration unclouded by envy I rejoice and offer my joy to you.

You have the most excellent knowledge and supreme bodies Your wrathful black body has the power to remove all negativity. Your activities constantly benefit the sentient beings of the ten directions and three times. I request you to manifest unlimited emanations.

With your excellent qualities and supreme bodies You benefit beings and protect virtuous activities. So for as long as space remains, Please forsake liberation and live long.

Prostrating, offering, and confessing, Rejoicing and requesting you to remain and display the Dharma: By these virtuous acts may samsara end. Thus, I dedicate all virtue to the attainment of enlightenment.

Praises

Jo Abiding on the highest bodhisattva level, appearing wrathful but without a trace of polluted emotion, You manifest the four types of activities so that your actions benefit all sentient beings. Unceasing and undistracted, you act to bring all beings to the fundamental bliss of enlightenment. Thus I praise you, consort of Buddha Yamantaka.

Visualization

Myself in the form of the yiddam, many brilliant lights emanate from the syllable HUNG in my heart. They irradiate the syllable JO in the Glorious Lhamo’s heart, whose energy explodes into countless wish-fulfilling activities, effortlessly satisfying all desires and accomplishing all goals.

Panden Lhamo’s Activities

Jo. Differences in the four types of activity are only the mind’s creations, Neither the mind’s creator nor the mind truly exists. Nor does the variety of inseparable colour-and-forms inherently exist; All these supernatural phenomena are only the mind’s illusions. In past, present, and future the glorious

dakini’s peaceful form, although illusory, nonetheless pacifies all obstacles. The supreme goddess of peace is surrounded by a peaceful entourage of dakas and dakinis. Having reached enlightenment, her form is radiant white. And so, life after life, I prostrate to you, Panden Lhamo: Please remove all disease and negativity from myself and all others.

dakini’s enhancing form, although illusory, nonetheless increases all positive qualities. The supreme goddess of increasing Dharma is surrounded by an increasing entourage of dakas and dakinis. Having reached enlightenment, her form is pure yellow. And so, life after life, I prostrate to you, Panden Lhamo: Please increase my life force and multiply all virtues.

Having reached enlightenment, her form is an attractive red. And so, life after life, I prostrate to you, Panden Lhamo: May all sentient beings of the three realms attain your power.

Nor does the variety of inseparable colour-and-forms inherently exist; All these supernatural phenomena are only the mind’s illusions. In past, present, and future the glorious

dakini’s wrathful form, although illusory, nonetheless vanquishes all negative forces. The supreme goddess of wrathful action is surrounded by a wrathful entourage of dakas and dakinis. Having reached enlightenment, her form is sudden blackness. And so, life after life, I prostrate to you, Panden Lhamo: Please destroy all the diseases and evils within myself and all others.


Jo. On the ultimate level, you have no inherently existing essence, Yet conventionally, everything functions perfectly, And thus the four activities and the four emanations who perform them exist. Therefore I pay homage with one-pointed concentration: May I and my four activities arise spontaneously So I

become like you, able to perform all activities for the benefit of all sentient beings.
