the Long Sadhana of Most Secret Hayagriva
Most Secret Hayagriva Tsog Oering

47
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.
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)
From my heart, clarified as the holy body of the Supreme Horseheaded Hero,
Emanated Wrathful Ones, weapons, and a great conflagration
Which dispelled all hindering spirits and interferers from the
limits of all directions
And gathered back, became the tent of vajra protection.

Hayagriva,
Arisen from the unchangeable dharmakaya state,
Quickly bestow great blessings at this supreme place.

BHRUM VISHVA VISHUDDHE JNANA CHAKRA MANDALA HUM
BHRUM is transformed into a celestial mansion, in the nature
of wisdom.
It is square with four doors, walls, plinth, frieze, garlands and
half-garlands,
A collection of dentils, parapet, pillars, beams, arched roof,
archways, and so forth.
It is endowed with perfect dimensions and all characteristics,
Splendidly beautified, glorious, and grand with the cemeteries
and jeweled ornaments.
Outside are the lotus fence, the eight great cemeteries,
The vajra fence, and blazing heaps of fire like that at the end
of the eon.
In the center of the mansion is a red-black triangular mandala.
In this is a red half-circle with a fence of dry skulls.
Beyond that is a four-spoked wheel, in the color of its direction,
Completely surrounded by a circular garland of wet human
heads.

On the central triangle, on the four spokes, and the four doors is:
PAM PADMA MANDALA
PAM transforms into a exquisite variegated lotus seat.

I, Hayagriva, have six arms, the first right hand holds a lotus
And the left holds a skull filled with blood
With these arms I embrace the Mother of Great Bliss.
The remaining two right hands hold an iron hook and a club.
The remaining two left hands hold a lasso and a blazing sword.
The upper part of the holy body wears a human skin and a wet
elephant hide.
The lower part of the holy body is adorned with a tiger skin skirt.
The dried skull head ornament is topped with jewels.
The holy body is adorned with bone ornaments,
A triple garland each of fifty human heads dried, wet, and
withered
Jewels, and the four types of snakes.
The holy body is smeared with fingerprints of fat,
Drops of blood, and heaps of human ashes.
Having the garuda wings of complete victory over the three realms.
Having four legs and standing with the right legs bent
In the expression of the nine-fold dancing posture.
Entwining the right side of the lord is the secret mother, the lotus
dancing one,
The color of her holy body is blue-black, with one face and
two arms,
Three eyes agape, and the mouth snarling with bared fangs.
The hair, matted and thick, is black like the gloom of darkness.
The right hand, holding a heart, embraces the Father.
The left hand, holding a great conch shell (skull) filled with an
ocean of blood,
Makes oering to the mouth of the great magnificent lord.
In this way visualize clearly the Lord Father-Mother.
16
At the crown of both the father and the mother is a moon disc,
At their throats a lotus, and at their hearts a sun disc,
Respectively adorned with a white OM, a red AH, and a blue HUM,
Thus blessing the body, speech, and mind.
The head is adorned with a five skull turret: on the crown there is
a blue HUM;
At the forehead a white OM; above the right ear a yellow SVA;
At the back of the head red AM; and above the left ear a
green HA.
HUM VAJRA HERUKA

The five seed syllables are completely transformed into the blood
drinkers of the five types (the five lords of the buddha families) become the full ornaments of the crown.

Through the path of the vajra they descend into the Mothers

And become the essence of the eight syllable drops.

Praise
HRIH Although not moving from the sphere of clear light,
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 dont abide in samsara, by having compassion you dont 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.

Supreme Stallion,
On the stamens of an eight-petaled lotus,
Is the heart syllable HRIH, surrounded by the mantra upon the
eight petals.
Light issues forth and absorbs into all the tathagatas,
Giving the outer, inner, and secret oerings.
Collects the attainments of holy body, speech, and mind,
Purifies the stains of the three doors of sentient beings,
And absorbs back into the body, speech, and mind of the yogi.
[Perform the meditation combining the generation and completion stages.]

While the tsog substances are empty, AH and MA, which become
sun and moon containers, appear. Upon them, the three syllables
OM, AH, and HUM melt and become the five desire enjoyments
and the heaps.
[First the 5 desire enjoyments and then by multiply lights are increased and become heaps.]

To oer in detail, divide the tsog into three parts. First oering by
praising:
33
Please accept all that I oer 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.
34
to me:
Due to ignorance, with our body, speech, and mind we have carelessly violated our pledges.
We are requesting to you, whose holy mind is enriched with great
compassion:
Please have patience for whatever actions we have done against
the sacred mind of the assembly deities of the Lotus Great Controllers mandala.
Please be patient and purify us.
Grant pure miraculous attainments.
Recite the hundred-syllable mantra many times.

As well as the assembly deities of heroes, dakinis, and Dharma

May the consciousness and life force of all harming enemies and

38
There is nothing to make the last residue (E), the Great Controllers servant possesses the residue.
The residue is not sprinkled with mouth water (E).
There is a great dierence between the Lord and subjects.
There is nothing to mix the three aspects into one (E).
In the sphere of existence there is no bad and good.
By making oering, there is no reliance for the activities (E).
Destroying the teaching of the Dharma wheel happened.
[E = emptiness. According to Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoches commentary, this is all related to emptiness like the Heart Sutra. According to Choden Rinpoches commentary: the first one is a way of
expressing that one should make oering with the first pure essence although expressed negatively. ..in the middle one should
enjoy the tsog one should make the last residue one should
sprinkle with mouth water one should mix the three into one
one should rely for the activities.]
HRIH From the black-red triangular-shaped mandala the Destroy-
er Qualified Highly Glorified One assembly of the deities completely surrounded by the host of armies, the five types of great
Garuda and Rahula, mamo, maras, tsen, gyalpo and so forth, and
the eight groups of cannibal devas who take the torma and give
help, I oer this torma beautifully adorned, please accomplish the
actions that I rely upon you for. In the holy mouth of the assembly
of deities of the residue tsog.

Do any of the practices asking the guests to return back or to absorb into the holy objects and stabilize:
The Absorption
The container (place) and essence (living beings), the unfathomable mandala, even that absorbs to the entourage. The entourage
absorbs to the principal Mother. The principal Mother absorbs to
43
the Father. Even the holy body of the Great Controlling One like a
rainbow faded away in the sphere of purity from the beginning.

Dedication
Due to this merit, may I and so forth sentient beings attain the
state of the Lotus Victorious One (Hayagriva) and spread in ten
directions the voice of the horse of the manifestation of the Bliss
Enjoying One to all the multitudes of those who are born blinded
by ignorance.

Auspicious Prayer
OM The samatuk (a special receptacle) of the holy body, holy
speech, holy mind, and holy actions filled well with attainment
immortal nectar the assemblies of the deities of Hayagriva who
help to accomplish the vajra life that brings all the success of
common and sublime ones be auspicious. By expressing this auspicious prayer may everything be happy and good.
The practice ends here.
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
45
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.
