12
Homage! Lama, Infallible constant protector, (you who) know!The freedoms and favourable conditions of this (human
birth) are extremely difficult to Everything born is impermanent and bound to die.The results of virtuous and
unvirtuous actions (which are causes) are inexorable.The three realms of cyclic existence have the nature of an ocean
 of suffering:Remembering this, may my mind turn towards the Dharma!
Thus, reciting as many times as possible, do the mental training.
The Actual Preliminary Practice.

First: The Going for Refuge

Believe that the Root Teacher, himself, in the form of Guru Rinpoche, the essence of the
 embodiment of the refuge field of the Three Jewels, is actually sitting in front (of one) in the sky.
'DI ZUNG JANG CH'UB NYING PO MA T'OB BAR LA MA KÖN CH'OG SUM LA KYAB SU CH'I
From now until attaining the heart of enlightenment,I take refuge in the Lama and the Three Jewels.
14
Thus, with prostrations, recite as much as one can.

Second: The Generation of Bodhicitta

 Beseeching the object of refuge to bear witness…
DA NE ZUNG TE K'OR WA MA TONG BAR MA GYUR SEM CHEN KÜN GYI P'EN DE DRUB
15
From now until samsara becomes empty,I shall accomplish the benefits and happiness of all parent sentient beings.
Thus, do the mental training in the Bodhicitta.

Mandala Offering

Having actually arranged the mandala configuration as a symbolic example…

 TS'E RAB KÜN GYI LÜ DANG LONG CHÖD PAL TS'OG NYI DZOG CH'IR KÖN CH'OG SUM LA 'BUL
The bodies, enjoyments, possessions, (and) glories of the succession of all my lifetimes I offer to the Three Jewels in

 CHI WOR LA MA DOR SEM YER MED PA'I KU LE DÜD TSI'I GYÜN BAB DRIB JANG GYUR
Above one’s head is Vajrasattva, inseparable from the Lama.From (Vajrasattva’s) body, a nectar stream descends,
purifying (my) obscurations.

Thus, with the visualization of the nectar descending and purifying, recite the hundred syllables
21

OM VAJRA SATTVA HUNG

 Then recite the six syllable mantra as much as one can. Then…

the afflictions is conquered by the curved blade in her right hand.The demon of the aggregates of form [and so forth]
is conquered: my skull is cut.She holds the skull cup in her left hand in the manner of [enlightened] activity.[My skull
is] placed on a tripod hearth of human heads, the three kayas.Within is my corpse, large enough to fill the billion-fold
universe.The letters, short AH and HAM, melt it into nectarand it is purified, increased and transformed by the power
