SA LÉ Ö Mantra Meditation

Teachings from the Kunzang Galwa Dupa / Kunzang A Sal.

ཨ་ཨཱོྃ་ཧཱུྃ༔ ཨཱ་ཨ་དཀར་ས་ལེ་འོད་ཨ་ཡང་ཨཱོྃ་འདུ།

A OM HUNG ~ A A KAR SA LÉ Ö A YANG OM DU

First, visualize yourself as Kuntuzangpo, the natural state of mind.

Your mind transforms into Kuntuzangpo. This means that your own mind tries to connect with its own nature of mind.

When you visualize yourself as Kuntuzangpo, in the heart of Kuntuzangpo is a sun and moon cushion. 

These symbolize method (compassion) and wisdom.

On that sun and moon cushion, visualize an eight-petal lotus flower which is clear and transparent like glass. In the center of this lotus visualize one A syllable. On each of the eight petals of the lotus, imagine one of each of the eight seed syllables of the mantra. Each syllable is standing upright and circling the seed syllable A in the center. Countless light rays emanate from the syllables, and go out connecting to the mind of the Buddhas. Then from that connection the countless light rays emanate from the heart of the Buddhas and return dissolving into you. Imagine you have attained the supreme and ordinary accomplishments.

Supreme accomplishment means the ultimate state of wisdom. Ordinary accomplishment is the ultimate state of compassion & love.

Then light rays which arise from heart of the Buddhas emanate outward to the places of sentient beings – the six realms. The outer world transforms into the pure celestial palace. The light rays emanate to the inner beings, and all sentient beings transform into the characteristics of Kunutuzangpo. All sounds of sentient beings become the sound of the SA LE O mantra. All conceptual thoughts of sentient beings are transformed into the non-conceptual primordial wisdom. Then recite the SA LE O mantra. 

A OM HUNG - A - A KAR SA - LÉ Ö - A YANG OM DU
