Add Your Mantra Accumulations:
Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is urgently requesting the International PBC Sangha to accumulate the Dusum Sangye Prayer of Guru Rinpoche and the mantra of Buddha Amitayus to remove everyone's obstacles, actualize more peace and harmony in the world, fulfill our highest bodhichitta aspirations, and swiftly bring all beings to enlightenment.
All the great masters of Tibetan Buddhism have said that Guru Padmasambhava is the Buddha of the Degenerate Age. During this present time, he is the sole protector and refuge for all sentient beings. When we connect to Guru Rinpoche, we’re connecting to all enlightened beings throughout space and time.
The Dusum Sangye Prayer unites devotion, bodhichitta, and Dzogchen meditation in the form of a Guru Yoga practice on Guru Padmasambhava. Absolute Guru Padmasambhava is the innate nature of all sentient beings.
Buddha Amitayus is a buddha of longevity and vitality. Amitayus embodies the wisdom and compassion of all the buddhas and is inseparable from Buddha Amitabha and Guru Padmasambhava.
Â
How to Practice Dusum Sangye & Buddha Amitayus
Begin by increasing your devotion, joy, and bodhichitta. Then visualize and supplicate Guru Padmasambhava with the Dusum Sangye Prayer for as long as your time permits.
Next, visualize Guru Padmasambhava as Amitayus. With loving care for your close ones and all living beings, accumulate the mantra of Buddha Amitayus for as long as you can.
After completing your recitation, dissolve everything and rest in meditation.
Finally, dedicate the merit for the well-being and enlightenment of your family, friends, and all living beings with sincere wishes that all the turbulence of the world and its individuals be pacified and resolved.
This is the way to achieve enlightenment. It is how we can increase our inner beauty and let it shine to the world.
More Detailed Instructions and Reminders for Practice
Please practice according to the "Three Noble Frames" taught by Longchenpa, Mipham Rinpoche, and so many lineage masters:
1. The Noble Beginning of Refuge and Bodhichitta, together with lineage prayers and turning your mind towards the Dharma.
2. The Noble Middle of practicing the Visualization Creation Stage and the Dissolution Completion Stage, while abiding in non-grasping wisdom emptiness-awareness (absolute bodhichitta).
3. The Noble Conclusion of Dedication and Aspiration Prayers.
Begin by reciting the Seven Line Prayer three times, followed by lineage prayers.
As the main practice, feel the presence of Guru Padmasambhava as a living buddha in the sky in front of you who embodies all the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the three times.
Visualize countless rainbow-colored lights emanating from his body, which instantly touch and bless all beings, completely healing all physical and mental disturbances, bringing peace, happiness, and enlightenment to everyone. Bring up compassion and love for all beings including those close to you, and sincerely wish that they all enjoy happy and healthy long lives, all of their obstacles are removed, all their wishes for happiness and peace are fulfilled, that their realization increases, and that everyone quickly achieves enlightenment.
Also pray for the long and healthy lives of all the lineage masters and world peacemakers, and that all of their wishes are quickly and perfectly fulfilled.
Continue by reciting the Dusum Sangye Prayer of Guru Padmasambhava with devotion while wisdom rainbow light rays continuously stream out from Guru Rinpoche's heart center in every direction. The light rays then return back to Guru Rinpoche who blesses you. Continue by emanating pure healing lights of wisdom and compassion throughout the entire universe which instantly merge with the blessings of all the buddhas, remove all obstacles, and heal all imbalances, establishing all sentient beings in the great blissfulness of enlightenment.

After you accumulate the Dusum Sangye Prayer, visualize Guru Rinpoche as Buddha Amitayus and recite his mantra for as long as your can.

Conclude by dedicating the merit and making sincere aspiration prayers for the immediate health , happiness, and enlightenment of all beings.
