Saying this refuge mantra seven times each morning when you wake up, and seven times at night before you sleep, brings you under the care of the Buddhas; if you have a guru, it brings you under the care of the guru. This simple mantra is extremely powerful because it plants the imprint of taking refuge in the Guru-Triple Gem.
HOMAGE MANTRA TO THE BUDDHA
You can say this longer homage mantra to the Buddha, and incorporate a simple “receiving blessing” visualization. Chant this mantra three times each morning:
LAMA TON PA CHOM DEN DAY
DE ZHIN SHEG PA DRA CHOM PA
YANG DAG PAR DZOG PAY SANG GYAY
PEL GYEL WA, SHAKYA TUB PA LA
CHAG TSEL ZHING, KYAB SU CHI WO
CHO DO JIN GYI LAB TU SOL
TRANSLATION:
To the founder, the endowed transcendent destroyer, the one gone beyond, the foe destroyer, the completely perfect, fully awakened being, the subduer from the Shakya clan, I prostrate. Please grant me your blessings.
As you chant this mantra, feel the presence of the Buddha and take refuge in him. Visualize his body as golden light. He is seated in the Vajra position; his face is very beautiful, and his gaze is compassionate. Rays of light emanate from each pore of the Buddha’s body and reach every corner of the world. Feel the rays waft completely over you, entering the top of your head and filling your whole body. Feel very blessed.
Shakyamuni Buddha, or historical Buddha.
