Six-Session Guru Yoga (short) by Ngulchu Jedrung
Lozang-Tendzin
People
who take the initiation with His Holiness the Dalai Lama or Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche
(i.e. within the Gelugpa lineage) commit themselves to reciting the Guru Yoga
six times a day. Many of us find this very short version useful as it is always
possible to keep the commitment regardless of how busy your life is. You can do
this practice according to Kalacakra by inserting Kalacakra and Vishvamata for
the deities in the text. You can also incorporate elements from the longer sadhanas
if you wish, such as mantra recitation.
Short Six-session
Guru Yoga Adapted for Kalachakra by Thubten Lodroe
@
The Guru Yoga of Kalachakra in Connection
with the Six Sessions in Completely Facilitating Form formulated by His Holiness
the Dalai Lama. Arranged by Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. Translated by Jeffrey Hopkins.
This is a longer version of the Six Session Guru Yoga incorporating
the Kalacakra Bliss Mandala. This sadhana was used by the group until recently
for recitation at monthly meetings and was the basis for Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche's
teachings at Jamyang this year. The text includes helpful explanatory notes, a
review of the tantric vows, and a prayer
which presents an overview of the Kalacakra path.
A
commentary by Alex Berzin is also available.
In
Gen Lamrimpa's recent book, "Transcending Time" is an explanation of
this KalacakraSix -Session Guru Yoga. There are also other translations of this
sadhana by Hermes Brandt, B.Alan Wallace
and Alex Berzin.
