Ah With complete recollection within ongoing non-dual emptiness-clarity,
NAY YUL DÉ CHHEN P’HO DRANG Ü
I am white Vajrasattva.

I have one face and two hands that hold a vajra and bell.

In blissful union with my consort Nyéma, Haughty,
LONG CHYÖ DZOK KÜ CHHA LUK CHEN
I wear the attributes of the body of utter delight.
PEMA NYI DAI DEN TENG DU
Seated in cross-legged posture amid shimmering masses of light
KYIL TRUNG Ö P’HUNG LAM MER ZHUK
Upon a seat made of a lotus, sun, and moon,
P’HUNG KHAM GYAL WA ZHI T’HRÖ LHA
My physical and mental aggregations and the constituents of my senses are the victors, the peaceful and wrathful
deities—
MA KYÉ YÉ DZOK DÉ WA CHHÉ
Not created, timelessly complete, my nature is supreme bliss.

In the heart center of the ever-united visualized and wisdom aspects of the deity,

I view all phenomena—appearances, sounds, and thoughts—
DOR JÉ SUM GYI ROL PAR TA
As the play of vajra body, speech, and mind.
Recite the hundred syllable mantra and the six syllable mantra:

BHAWA MAHA SAMAYA SATTVA AH
OM VAJRA SATTVA HUNG
LHAR NANG MI MIK TONG CHHEN YING
My appearance as the deity dissolves into the non-referential basic space of supreme emptiness.
TONG PAI RANG DANG LHA KUR SHAR
The natural radiance of emptiness arises as the deity’s form.
GAK MÉ YÉ SHEY GYU MAI KÜ
With this unimpeded illusory wisdom body
KHA NYAM DRO WAI DÖN LA JUK
I engage in acts for the welfare of beings equal in number to the bounds of space.
GÉ WA DI YIY NYUR DU DAK
Through this virtuous activity,
DOR JÉ SEM PA DRUB GYUR NAY
May I swiftly accomplish Vajrasattva.
DRO WA CHIK KYANG MA LÜ PA
May I then establish every single being, with no one left out,
DÉ YI SA LA GÖ PAR SHOK
At that same level.
