To you, great dharmapala,
Protect me day and night with vigilance,
At all times and places, grant propitious factors.

To Lama Dorje Shugden,

In places where people are wild and untamed,
You assist and protect me. You show reasons for them to turn
Their minds around towards the dharma.

When I have no money, food, medicine or housing,
You provide everything for me. And what I need your provisions grow
And increase with time. You show me the six paramitas continuously.

When I am depressed, sad and lose hope,
You assure me of your presence, your blessings and your friendship
Lifting my spirits. No friend can be better than you.

When I have been abandoned by others who are not real friends,
You are my real friend, confidant and inspiration. You show me a
Friendship that is super worldly and at the same time worldly.

When I am afraid, attacked or have been cheated,
You replace what has been taken, reassure me and
Advise me to continue. You give with love, abundance and no agenda.
You give solely to benefit.

You are my Buddha, my yidam, my Guru, my protector and my
Complete source of blessings. By relying on your rituals, mantras, prayers and puja,
I can always create a powerful Vajra Manjushri link to you that will extend
To future lives.

May I never be separated from you in this and future lives.
Bless me to gain real genuine bodhicitta, love, forgiveness,
Compassion and skilfull means.

You give me purpose, goals and visions that surpass anything
We can be attached to or be tricked by in samsara. Nothing we have attachment
For in samsara can hold light next to your advice and your goals for us.
I trust you and surrender my attachments to your goals and advice. Which are
Meant for my benefit.

Bless me to have entourage, sponsors, help, assistance and
Many auspicious signs from You. Follow me like a shadow to the body.
Never abandon me when my mind occasionally turns negative and
Keep me close to you. Let me always have close contact, signs and omens from you.
You are no other than the Gentle Lord Manjushri in a worldly form to rescue me.

I love you as I have not loved anyone else. I trust you because you will never disappoint me.
I believe in you because you abide in pure compassion and powerful abilities.
I will never choose anything or anyone in samsara over you. You never ask me to choose, but I am just expressing your nature and the reasons for my choice.

Your presence, blessings and existence is permanent without permanence whereas the friends and objects I am attached to do not last and in the end have to be abandoned or leave. I am left in despair even before they leave. But your presence is promised till the 1,000th Buddha appears. I choose you and your ways Lord Protector.

I hold you close to me. You are more precious than diamonds, gold, money, rich friends, foods, travel, palaces, fame and reputation to me as your nature is fixed yet changing. I will remain loyal and devoted to you above anything because it is so rare to find such a support such as you in this degenerate age.

Hold me close. Love me. Protect me. Bless me. Watch over me and my loved ones. Show me swift action to tame my and other’s mind. In return I promise you to work compassionately and skilfully towards the benefit of others. I promise you to develop in this life compassion, love and wisdom so I may rank among the highly skilled beings that take birth for others. Bless me to be so and not be afraid. As fear arises from ignorance and not the state of our goals.

I must and will realize you are far better to cling to than children, parents, husband, wife, partner, friend, sponsor, confidant and any relations I deem to have, have had or will have. By resolutely alliancing myself to You, I will in fact benefit those I have wrongly or conceptually clung to. Bless me to realize and immediately enact this attitude.

May I gain your wisdom mind that is equal to the attainments described by Nagarjuna and Lam Rim. May I not be stuck in the quicksands of samsara and my tight mind anymore. All sufferings, problems, delusions, and their results arise from my clinging to the wrong objects time and time again. Finally I have found the right being to rest my mind with and this being is no other than You.

Om Svasti!

All the obstacles from within and without
Completely you dispel and make things clear & fulfil activities,
To the 5 families of Dorje Shugden,
Your great entourage & assistants I offer this.

KYE!
Manjushri in angry form,
You are the hero in terrifying role.
Main of my powerful war gods,
You are the mighty Dorje Shugden.

Affectionate when cultivated,
You treat the commitment-abiding like a son (or daughter).
Powerful when beseeched,
Your ferocity is swifter than lightening.
When angry at the enemy,
You obliterate him to the seventh generation.

We your practitioners,
Pile torma (Wylie: gtor ma) like mountains;
Gather medicinal blood (sman rak) like sea;
Spread base substances (rten rzas) like the stars.

We honour you with the first part of food and drink;
We fulfill all that you want.
I am calling you from my heart;
Lend me your ear.

I practice you all the time;
Show me sign that I have succeeded.
Protect the command and the Teaching;
Show me your smiling face.

Be the war god in my protection;
Be my messenger and servant.
Be the fort of my protection;
Be the storekeeper of my people and possessions.

Be the day’s bodyguard;
Be the night’s watchman.
Be the cloak on my back;
Be my staff in the front.

Be the bridge over water,
And stairs on the rock.
Be those who see me off;
Be those welcoming me.

Raise me if I fall;
If I forget, remind me.
Be the doctor when I fall sick;
If poisoned, give me potent remedy.
For me, raise banners on the high points;
Blow conch-shell in cities.

If two equals debate, you should make the victor;
If two equals wrestle, you should determine the winner.
If two equals wager, you tip the winning edge;
If two equals compete in greatness, raise banners of greatness.

Kill the vengeful enemy;
Subdue obstructers.
Liberate those holding wrong views;
Prevent ill luck and ill omen.

Introduce me to a hundred advantages;
Foil a thousand disadvantages.
Remove obstacle of my hopes;
Fulfil all objectives.

Mantras are a very powerful, effective and simple way to connect to the Buddhas and their blessings. You can recite them anywhere or combine them with your daily prayers. The more you recite, the stronger your connection is with the Buddhas. You are directly creating positive karma and merit to strengthen your affinity to the Three Jewels when you sincerely recite mantras with a strong and positive motivation.

Tsongkapa’s name mantra

OM AH GURU BENZADHARA SUMATI KIRTI APARAMEDA SIDDHI HUNG HUNG

HUM
Lobsang Dragpa, essence of the ocean of mandalas,
Three precious yidams’ mandala attendants,
Especially the principal of the potent dregs,
Dorje Shugden and retinue consider me.

Recklessly drunk from the three poisons,
Accumulated downfalls by nature and transgression
The limits of faultless precepts and commandments,
With an ailing and repenting mind I confess.

Pervasive guru present in the 10 directions,
Peaceful and wrathful Yidams established by the Jina,
Oath bound protectors of the Secret Vehicle,
From my heart I lay bare all samaya transgressions.

Displeasing, disrespect, reproach and wrong view toward
The Glorious Guru Vajradhara,
In the presence of the Yidams and Protectors having the wisdom eye,
I confess all lack of faith.

Especially to life ruler of the Dregs,
Forgotten, broken and inferior offering tormas,
To the protector performing the four activities
I confess all broken thanksgiving service tormas.

Carelessness of what ought to be accepted and rejected,
The root and secondary [precepts] of body, speech and mind,
To the listening protectors and retinue,
With a regretful mind I confess these faults.

Primordial, naturally pure Dharmakaya,
Free from all conceptual elaboration,
May all faults written with the pen of conceptualization,
Be purified within the sphere of emptiness.

Thus concludes the short prayer to Lord Dorje Shugden. This is the confessional prayer section taken from Dragri Dorje Chang Jetsun Gyatso Thaye’s (Sera Je college) longer work called Treasury of the Four Activities

Prayer to the Great Protector Setrab Chen

Together with whole-hearted trust.

One who holds the inconceivable tantra, and who embodies the Buddha’s capabilities,
I praise you, who appear terrifically though inseparable from these three.

From the bottom of my heart I single-pointedly address you.

From today until enlightenment,
Please remain inseparably with me and my circle as our Defender, Protector, Supporter and Friend without interruption.

With your six prime manifestations including
New Lutsen, Je Gyel Po, re-manifestations including
I make offerings to you,
I praise you, please take this responsibility,
I contemplate, I call upon you, please pay attention.
I appeal to you, I beseech you,
Please grant especially these requests,
And make it happen spontaneously,
Effortlessly, right now.

Colophon:
This prayer was composed at the request of many Dharma friends, especially my long-time associate, Geshe Tsewang Thondup, who gave a scarf and other gifts. As far as I am concerned, there are clear signs which indicate this great protector has been safeguarding me for many lives. At this time especially there is a strong need for a prayer to the great Setrabchen, and remembering his kindness, I, Ngawang Gelek, composed it spontaneously before dawn on the second of October, 1981, at my own place, Garden of Great Bliss. Translation into English was completed during July of 1989 while on a teaching tour of Malaysia. At this time, the section referring to Jewel Heart was composed and inserted in both the English and Tibetan prayers.

I and all sentient beings go for refuge to Guru, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha
Until we achieve Enlightenment.
Through the positive potential I generate by practicing generosity
and the other far-reaching attitudes
may I attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all.

Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga

Invocation
From the heart of the Lord of the Gaden Devas
Emerges a brilliant white cloud, like a great mass of fresh yogurt.
Atop sits Tsongkhapa, all-knowing King of Dharma
We request your coming to this place along with your great disciples.

Prostration
My Lord Guru is seated before me on a lion-throne, lotus and moon cushion.
His body is white and he smiles blissfully.
Please remain many eons and serve as the great merit-field for the growth of my mind’s faith
And for the increase of Lord Buddha’s teachings.

Praises
His omniscient wisdom-mind encompasses all that is existent.
His voice is a profound teaching which ornaments the ear of the fortunate pupil.
His body’s beautiful radiance evokes wondrous admiration.
To Lama Tsongkhapa, whom merely viewing, hearing, or contemplating
Earns one great merit, I make prostration.

Offering
I present to you, great merit-field, Tsongkhapa,
Beautiful offerings, water, a display of flowers, fragrant incense,
Butterlamps and more both physical and mental offerings,
Vast as the clouds and wide as the ocean.

Confession
The unwholesome actions of body, speech and mind
Which I have accumulated over a measureless period ,
Especially actions contrary to the three vows (Vinaya, Bodhisattva and Vajrayana)
I regret extremely and from the depths of my heart,
And I reveal each and every such action.

Rejoice
We totally rejoice in your magnificent achievements, my Lord
who received numerous teachings and performed practices with utmost diligence,
who abandoned the eight worldly objectives and made the most meaningful use
of the eighteen opportune conditions during these degenerate times.

Request to turn the Wheel of Dharma
All you holy Gurus, unerring in conduct,
May you precipitate a rain of realisation of Bodhicitta and Shunyata
From the clouds of all-knowing compassion which fills the Dharmakaya sky
Providing for the field of disciples precisely what is needed.

Requesting to Remain
May the Vajra-body created from the purity of clear light,
Free of the rising and setting of cyclic existence
But visible to the ordinary viewer only in its unsubtle, physical form
Stay on unchanging, without waning, until samsara ends.

Dedication
May this merit accumulated by myself and others
Beneficially serve all sentient beings and the Buddhadharma
And especially may the essential teachings of the unerring Master Tsongkhapa
Become clear and enduring.

Migtsema Mantra

This is Tsongkhapa’s mantra, but invokes the energies of
Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani and Maitreya Buddha.
It is good to recite this mantra as many times as possible.
It can be recited by anyone and does not require initiation.

MIG-MEY TZE-WEY TER-CHEN CHENREZIG
DRIMEY KHYEN-PE WANG-PO JAMPAL YANG
DU-PUNG MALU JOMDZEY SANG-WEY DAG
GANG-CHEN KE-PEY TSUG-YEN TSONGKHAPA
LO-SANG TRAG-PEY SHAB-LA SOL-WA DEB (3x, 7x, 21x, 100x, etc)

(Je Tsongkhapa, crown jewel of the holy Masters of the land of snows,
You are Avalokitesvara, great goldmine of compassion untainted by ego’s delusion.
You are Manjushri, great master of stainless wisdom.
You are Vajrapani, great subduer of all the gatherings of demons.
At your feet, famed Lobsang Drakpa, I humbly bow and earnestly request
That all sentient beings achieve Enlightenment.)

Inviting Dorje Shugden and his Retinue

HUM
I have the clarity of the Yidam.
Before me in the centre of red and black fire and wind,
On a lotus and sun, trampling demons and obstructors,
Is a terrifying lion, which is powerful and alert.

Upon this sits the great king Dorje Shugden,
The supreme Heart Jewel of Dharma Protectors.
His body is clothed in the garments of a monk,
And on his head he wears a round, yellow hat.

His hands hold a sword and a heart of compassion.
To his followers he shows an expression of delight,
But to subdue demons and obstructors he displays a wrathful manner.
He is surrounded by a vast, assembled retinue
Such as his attendant Kache Marpo and so forth.

Light rays from my heart
Instantly invite the wisdom beings from the sphere of nature
And from all the palaces where they abide.
They become inseperable from the commitment beings.

Making Offerings and Requests

HUM
Respectfully I prostrate with body, speech and mind.
I offer a mass of inner and outer offerings,
Blissful tormas, alcohol, tea, cakes, milk and curd
Both actually set out and mentally imagined,
Filling the whole of space.

Commitment, fulfilling, reliance and appropriate substances,
Outer, inner, secret, attractive and cleansing offerings filling the whole of space,
I offer these to the entire assembly;
May I fulfill the heart commitment and restore my broken commitments.

All my harmful thoughts and actions
Which have offended your mind, O Great Protector,
I confess from the depths of my heart.
Please purify them swiftly and care for me with love,
Like a mother for her child.

I beseech you from the depths of my heart, O Supreme Deity,
Please cause the tradition of Je Tsongkhapa to flourish,
Extend the life and activities of the glorious Gurus
And increase the study and practice of Dharma
Within the Dharma communities.

Please be with me always like the shadow of my body,
And grant me your unwavering care and protection.
Destroy all obstacles and adverse conditions,
Bestow favorable conditions and fulfill all my wishes;

Now is the time to show clearly your versatile strength
Through your four actions, which are swift, incisive and unobstructed,
To fulfill quickly my special heartfelt desires
In accordance with my wishes;

Now is the time to distinguish the truth and falsity of actions and effects;
Now is the time to dispel false accusations against the innocent;
Now is the time to protect the pitiful and protectorless;
Now is the time to protect Dharma practitioners as your children.

In short, from now until I attain the essence of enlightenment,
I shall honour you as the embodiment of my Guru, Deity and Protector.
Therefore please watch over me during the three periods of the day and the night
And never waver in your actions as my Protector. (1x, 3x, 7x)

Recitation of the Mantra

I have the clarity of the Yidam (Yamantaka).
Before me are the five lineages of Dorje Shugden, the great king of Dharma Protectors.
At their hearts are sun cushions upon each of which there is a HUM
surrounded by the mantra garland in its appropriate colour.
Light rays radiate from the seed letter at my heart and touch these.
As a result, their minds automatically engage in the pacifying, increasing,
Controlling and wrathful actions that I desire, accomplishing them without obstruction.

OM BENZA WIKKI BITANA SOHA (7x, 21x, 100x etc)

OM DHARMAPALA MAHA RADZA BENZA BEGAWAN RUDRA

To the Gurus who perform the two purposes and send down a rain of excellent blessings,
And to the Yidams who bestow all common and uncommon attainments,
I offer this drink of nectar which bestows bliss.
Please partake and quickly and spontaneously fulfill all my wishes.

To the whole assembly of Heroes and Dakinis of the three places
And to the assembly of powerful, oath-bound Dharma Protectors,
I offer this drink of nectar which bestows bliss.
Please partake and quickly and spontaneously fulfill all my wishes.

Especially to you, supreme, supra-mundane Protector of the doctrine,
Very powerful, swift and wrathful Dorje Shugden,
I offer this drink of nectar which bestows bliss.
Please partake and swiftly and spontaneously fulfill all my wishes. (1x, 3x, 7, 21, 100x)

To you, manifestations of the five lineages, who bestow without obstruction
Countless pacifying, increasing, controlling and wrathful actions,
I offer this drink of nectar which bestows bliss.
Please partake, and swiftly and spontaneously fulfill all my wishes.

To the nine attractive Mothers, the eight guiding Monks,
The ten wrathful Assistants, and so forth,

To the extremely wrathful Kache Marpo,
The fierce Attendant who opposes those who betray the Dharma,
I offer this drink of nectar which bestows bliss.
Please partake and swiftly and spontaneously fulfill all my wishes.

Thus, through the power of my making offerings and requesting your help,
Please perform the four types of action during the six times;
And always care for me like a father with his child,
Without wavering even for a moment.

And may you, the whole assembly of dignified Attendants,
Ever mindful of your solemn oaths to Venerable Duldzin,
Accomplish swiftly and without wavering
Whatever actions I may request of you.

Requesting the Fulfillment of Wishes

HUM
Whenever your followers with commitments
Request any of the four actions,
Swiftly, incisively, and without delay, you show signs for all to see;
So please accomplish the actions that I now request of you.

The stainless sun of Je Tsongkhapa’s tradition
Shines throughout the sky of samsara and nirvana,
Eliminating the darkness of inferior and wrong paths;
Please cause its light to spread and bring good fortune to all living beings.

May the glorious Gurus who uphold this tradition
Have indestructible lives, as stable as the supreme victory banner;
May they send down a rain of deeds fulfilling the wishes of disciples,
So that Je Tsongkhapa’s doctrine will flourish.

Through increasing the study, practice, pure discipline and harmony
Of the communities who uphold the doctrine of Buddha,
And who keep moral discipline with pure minds,
Please cause the Gaden tradition to increase like a waxing moon.

Through your four actions please fulfill the essential wishes
Of all practitioners who uphold the victory banner
Of practicing single-pointedly the stages of the paths of Sutra and Tantra,
The essence of all the teachings they have heard.

Beings throughout this great earth are engaged in different actions
Of Dharma, non-Dharma, happiness, suffering, cause and effect;
Through your skillful deeds of preventing and nurturing,
Please lead all living beings onto the good path to ultimate happiness.

In particular, please destroy the obstacles and unfavourable conditions
Of myself and other practitioners.
Increase our lives, our merit and our resources,
And gather all things animate and inanimate to be freely enjoyed.

Please be with me always like the shadow of my body,
And care for me always like a friend,
By accomplishing swiftly whatever I wish for,
And whatever I ask of you.

Please perform immediately, without delaying for a year, or even for a month,
Appropriate actions to eliminate all obstacles
Caused by misguided beings with harmful minds who try
to destroy Je Tsongkhapa’s doctrine, and especially those who try to harm practitioners.

Please remain in this place always, surrounded by most excellent enjoyments.
As my guest, partake continuously of tormas and offerings;
And since you are entrusted with the protection of human wealth and enjoyments,
Never waver as my guardian throughout the day and the night.

All the attainments I desire
Arise from merely remembering you.
O Wishfulfilling Jewel, Protector of the Dharma,
Please accomplish all my wishes. (3x)

Dissolving Je Tsongkhapa into Ourselves

Dear worthy root-Guru, please ascend the lotus seat atop the head of myself
And the other beings, and in your great kindness please remain with us.
Bestow upon us the blessings of your body, speech and mind.

Precious, noble root-Guru, please occupy the lotus seat within our hearts
And in your great kindness remain with us.
Please grant us your blessings for our temporal success and for the supreme attainment.

Beloved, noble root-Guru, please occupy the lotus seat within our hearts
And in your great kindness remain with us.
Please stay on until we achieve the great goal of ENLIGHTENMENT.

Dedication

May all conducive conditions arise and all obstacles be pacified,
In order to increase infinitely the doctrine of the spiritual king Tsongkhapa.
By the merit of the three times of myself and others
May the doctrine of Lama Tsongkhapa blaze forever.

At the time of wanting to make a bsang offering, collect the incense substances; repeat the refuge and bodhi mind generation verses three times.

HUM, visualising myself as the yidam, from the heart,
Light emanates clearing all faults from incense,
Scent having the five desirable qualities complete in perfection,
Granting uncontaminated bliss fills the extent of awareness.

OM AH HUM (repeat as many times to bless)

HUM, Root and lineage gurus, Three Jewels,
Dakas, Dakinis and Dharma Protectors,
Especially Dorje Shugden and retinue,
By boundless magical power come here.

Also, birth, warrior and patron deities,
Local deities, spirits and guardians with the eight classes,
Assembly of guests worthy of offering please come here.

Each happily dwelling on their seats
For the sake of fulfilling the yogi’s entrusted activities,
Outer, inner clouds of offerings, commitment substances and presents,
Accept these and accomplish the entrusted activities.

KYE! Agar, sandalwood, six medicinal ingredients and plants,
By the smoke cloud from the burning wisdom fire
Completely filling the sky,
Purifies the root and lineage Lamas, Yidams and Three Jewels.
Purifies the Dakas, Dakinis and Dharma Protectors.

Purifies especially the Chief Dharma Protector of Conqueror Manjunatha
Dorje Shugden and four cardinal emanations.
Purifies birth, war and five patron gods.
Purifies local deities, spirits, guardians and the eight classes.

By the power of offering incense to worthy guests
May all obscurations of quarrel and samaya be purified.
May lifespan, merit and power all increase.
Pacify all diseases to humans and animals, famine, war and dispute.

May the crops be good and the rain be timely.
Conquer classes of demons of the dark side, increase the positive,
And having befriended spontaneously and effortlessly,
Attain all goals just as wished.

KI KI SO SO, LHA GYEL LO!

HUM! Being pleased and satisfied, guests return to their abodes,
Returning again upon request for activities.
By this virtue may I myself and all mother beings
Have perpetual auspiciousness of happiness and benefit.
