THE TRANSFERENCE OF
CONSCIOUSNESS FOR JETSUN
VAJRAYOGINI NARO KACH
SUPPLEMENTED WITH LIFEESTABLISHING PRACTICE
NAMO GURU VAJRAYOGINI YA
Here are the instructions for practicing the transference
of consciousness for Vajrayogini.
Go for refuge and generate bodhichitta.
Just behind the Brahmin aperture of myself appearing
clearly as Vajrayogini is a lion throne with a lotus and sun
seat upon which is Glorious Heruka. He is the nature of
my root guru and treads upon Bhairava and Kalarati
appearing with a dark blue body, one face, and two hands
holding a vajra and bell crossed at his heart. He stands
with his right led outstretched and embraces Vajravarahi.
The father is adorned with six mudras and the mother
with five. Surrounding him is a limitless entourage of
heroes and dakinis. Some send down a rain of flowers,
some hold things such as victory banners and produce the
sound of music. Some sing auspicious melodies while
others dispel obstructing forces. They dwell amidst a tent
of rainbows. It as though I am directly perceiving Dakpa
Kach pure land.

At [Herukas] crown is an OM, at his throat an AH, and

at his heart a HUM from which light rays radiate and
invoke the assembly of gurus, personal deities, buddhas,
bodhisattvas, heroes, dakinis, dharma protectors, and
guardians from their natural abode filling the realm of
space.
DZA HUM BAM HO
They dissolve into the guru on the crown of my head and
he becomes the embodiment of all objects of refuge.
In this way develop devotion.
If you wish to make extensive offerings do so in accordance with
the field of merit of Heruka as follows:
With folded hands recite:
By whose kindness the state of great bliss
Can be obtained in an instant
At the feet of my jewel-like Guru
The Vajra-holder- I prostrate.
The Samvarodaya Tantra states:
To the great hero, glorious Heruka,
With power of his completely pure vajra,
And to Vajravarahi, the great one
Who generates desire; humbly I bow.
To all the heroes, heroines and powerful dakinis
Who abide in the places, near places,
Fields, meeting places and charnel grounds;
4

To all of you I respectfully prostrate.

From the HUM at my heart arise offering goddesses:
White flower goddesses,
Smoke-colored incense goddesses,
Orange light goddesses,
Green perfume goddesses,
And multicolored food goddesses.
They have four hands: the first two hold a vajra and bell,
and the other two hold a precious vessel filled with the
individual offering substances such as flowers and so
forth.
The white Rupavajra goddesses,
Blue Shaptavajra goddesses,
Yellow Gandhavajra goddesses,
Red Rasavajra goddesses,
Green Parshavajra goddesses,
And white Dharmadhatuvajra goddesses.
They have four hands, the left two hold a skullcup and
katvanga, in the first right hand respectively a mirror,
lute, a vessel of scents, a vessel of tastes, silk garments
and a phenomena source, and in the other right hand a
damaru.

OH AH VAJRA ADARSHE HUM

Again from the HUM at my heart arise the four heart
yoginis who offer four skullcups filled with the five
nectars.
OM SARWA VAJRA KAMINI SARWA BHAKSHAM
SHODAYA GUHYA VAJRANI SHA
Through the father and mother entering into embrace and
generating great bliss all the deities experience great bliss.
I go for refuge to the Three Jewels,
And confess each of my negative actions,
I rejoice in the virtues of migrating beings,
And hold with my mind a buddhas enlightenment.
To buddha, dharma, and the supreme assembly
I go for refuge until I am enlightened,
And to accomplish the welfare of myself and others
I will generate the mind of enlightenment.
Having generated the mind of supreme enlightenment,
I shall invite all living beings to be my guest
To engage in the pleasing, supreme practices of
enlightenment.
6

May I attain buddhahood to benefit living beings.

To clear away all obscurations of every living being,
I request all the buddhas, infinite as space, to turn the
wheel of dharma.
For the well-being and happiness of all,
And in order to liberate all living beings,
I request all the buddhas who may wish to pass beyond
sorrow
To stay for as many eons as there are atoms in the earth.
To free all beings from the ocean of samsara, so difficult
to cross,
I offer this momentary self to all the buddhas.
If you are doing it in an abbreviated fashion proceed as follows:
I prostrate to Glorious Heruka father and mother
Whose body is the embodiment of the Three Jewels and
the lineage gurus.
I make mundane and supramundane outer, inner, and
secret offerings,
Both actually set out and emanated by mind.
I clearly confess the variety of negative actions and
downfalls
From beginningless time until now and promise to refrain
from them.
I rejoice in the pure white virtues of myself and others.

I request you to turn the wheel of the vast and profound

dharma
And remain without passing into nirvana for a hundred
eons.
I dedicate these virtues to great enlightenment.
Then make either an extensive or concise mandala offering.
Recite the following with extremely powerful longing:
Guru-Heruka, the embodiment of all objects of refuge
I request you, please bless my mental continuum.
Please protect me from fearful murdering lord of death
Please liberate me from terrifying narrow passage of the
intermediate state
Please retrain me from falling into the abyss of the lower
realms, so difficult to bear,
Please lead me to the Dakini Land, the abode of great
bliss.
Once you have lead me there please establish me in state
of enlightenment,
I have no hope other than youplease rescue me with
your compassion.
Make this request several times. Finally:
From the navel of myself appearing clearly as Vajrayogini
up to the crown of my head is my central channel the
width of a middling sized bamboo stalk. It is red in color
and like an upside down trumpet. The upper end reaches
the Brahmin aperture at the crown of my head and is like
8

a completely unobstructed skylight. The lower end

reaches four finger widths below my navel. At the hole at
the lower end of the central channel is sun seat which
blocks it like a joint of bamboo. Upon that is my
consciousness in the aspect of Jetsun Vajrayogini
complete with the face, arms, ornaments, and attire. She
is the size of thumb and on the verge of flying.
Contemplate in this way and establish divine pride.
My Vajrayogini mind looks upward through the central
channel to the broad opening and sees the guru-deity
father and mother. Being so eager to go to their heart I
am on the verge of flying.
Contemplate in this way with powerful longing and faith.
Verbally proclaim:
HIK
Through this, my Vajrayogini mind travels through my
central channel and reaches the crown of my head.
Recite HIK again very forcefully through which:
[My Vajrayogini mind] emerges from the crown of my
head and goes to the heart of guru-Heruka father and
mother and my mind and my gurus mind inseparably
mix.
Remain in meditative equipoise for a short while. Then recite:

KA
Through this, your mind exits your gurus mind and reenters
through the Brahmin aperture and sequentially descends through
my central channel and comes to rest upon the sun seat at the
lower end of your central channel.
Once again recite HIK through which you transfer [to your
gurus heart] and KA through which you descend. Repeat this
process a hundred, twenty-one times and so forth. Between
visualizations make the supplication and alternate between
visualization and supplication.
At the end of the session recite:
The father and mother deities at the crown of my head
descends through my Brahmin aperture and comes to rest
at my heart. The Vajrayogini at my navel ascends,
dissolves into the mother [at my heart] and the father and
mother frolic in embrace. They are delighted by great
bliss through which they melt into the aspect of light rays
from which the nectar of immortality descends,
completely filling my entire body. My Brahmin aperture
is blocked by a double vajra of light and I obtain the
attainment of immortal life.
This Transference of Consciousness for Jetsun Vajrayogini Naro
Kach Supplemented with Life-Establishing Practice was
requested by the Tibetan official Ngawang Tendar from
Dungnag Chkor Ling with pure faith and an offering of gold
leaf and a khata of the finest substance. It was written down by
Gelong Ngagwang Tenpel in accordance with the oral
instructions of his guru Dharmavajra.
