Takla Mebar Full Sadhana

Takla Mebar Drubzhung

To Establish a Boundary

SO! I am the body of Takla Mebar having gathered and come into being to overcome all evil interference, that which is abiding here needs to disperse and go. Otherwise, If it will not go and remains here, the protection of the nine pavilions will gradually emerge. The negative forces that do not depart will be consumed by fire. The consequence of going within the boundary will be ground into dust. 

Negative forces that are gathered here need to listen. I am the wrathful fire deity with a powerful blaze, The superior wrathful Takla Mebar With vibrant swastika weapons that will emerge And fill with wrathful emanations the upper, lower and middle realms. Furthermore, my open mouth reveals fangs of wrath and My hand holds symbolic flaming wheels. If anything goes beyond this line, it will be cut into pieces. 

Therefore, it’s better (for the negative beings) to stay in their respective locations. However, if (the negative energies) still do not depart, they must be forcefully driven away.

Threefold Contemplations

First, stay in the state of non-conceptual emptiness as much as you can. Then, contemplate on loving kindness and compassion for all sentient beings. Separate grasping from reality as all phenomena are empty in nature. Pervasive nature equally pervades its greatness to all. Therefore, generate a pervasive compassion to all. From within, manifest your awareness as an AH. When light radiates from an awareness of AH, it dispels the obscurations of sentient beings. When it gather inwards, it dissolves (the obscurations) into the light, contemplate that you are in the form of Buddha’s body. 

Light radiates from the AH of pure mind. Having invoked the deities of the space, Again (the manifestations) gather into the AH. AH dissolves into light and is transformed into the SO. Light radiates from the SO and is surrounded by nine circular layers of palaces. Again, SO gathers inwardly, transforming into splendidness and dissolves into the crown of your head. 

Recite SO SO SO loudly as the glorious SO manifests. The SO has dissolved into light. Takla Mebar, with a red body, one face and two hands, his body burning, a mass of flames of the eons (a fire that is so powerful it can destroy the cosmos). Wearing the fur skins of thousands of tigers, lights radiating from many weapons, a flame of fire gathers on the peak of the universe. His three fierce eyes glare angrily. His white canine teeth appear as a menacing crescent moon. His right hand is spinning a golden wheel, the left hand is holding nine interlaced swords, having subdued the protector of Rutra (protector of the enemies), they are laid out as a mat. Visualize this... extremely terrifying and majestic.

Visualization

From the SO a terrifying and majestic body of Takla Mebar manifests. With one face and two hands, he is flaming red and splendid. His body is a burning mass of flames from eons (powerful enough to destroy the cosmos). (Wearing) fur coats as a weapon, a wide open mouth baring threatening fangs and a body poised majestically, with wheel and sword emblems. He cuts the life-force of enemy spirits. Visualize his blazing, terrifying and majestic body.

Invitation

SO! Since the beginning of cosmic time, the divine castle was disturbed by a mass of flames. Within a sphere of nine flaming weapons, is an aggressive, wrathful, majestic king taming negativities. The body of the fierce Takla Mebar Having great splendor with radiating lights of red flames, with a superior exalted mind, powerful speech and an illuminated body. Inconceivable number of retinues, are surrounding eighteen great wrathful deities destroying the powerful fields of obstacles, and liberating the enemy spirits. You are powerful; there is no match or competition. In order to protect the Yungdrung Bon teachings, with compassionate commitments, we invite you to abide here in our mandala. From within the nature of Bon, the form of empty luminosity, is the essence of existence itself. We ask you to come quickly with powerful compassion.

SO SA MA YA DZA DZA OM HE

Prostration

SO! To the wrathful Takla Mebar and his retinue, myself and infinite sentient beings prostrate with our bodies, speech, and mind, with contemplation and single minded devotion, to the great wrathful Bön deity full of splendor. I go for refuge with pure prostrations. Takla Mebar with a forbidding body and exalted speech, terrifies the three realms. And liberates all into the great mind. To Takla Mebar with an enlightened body, speech and mind, we are going for refuge with pure prostrations. To the retinues of tens of millions, to tame unworthy arrogance, we go for refuge with pure prostrations.

SO HÉ HÉ NA MA

Request to Remain

SO! Since the beginning of cosmic time, from the flaming fire, in the divine castle, the rays of light absorb into oneself. We invite you to look upon the evil entities in order to liberate them. Please sit in the center of our sphere with your weapons. We ask you to sit and liberate all evil deities.

SO! OM SA MA YA TI TA LHEN

Confession

Homage to the retinue and previous knowledge holders. Together with the principal and highest supreme yidam deity and his retinue, to the great body of the wrathful tiger deity, please pay attention to me and all practitioners. I, and those like me, are in crisis during this dark age. During times of suffering, happiness has not been experienced. We are not liberated from the depths of samsara. With compassion radiating from your great supreme wisdom eye, please show us your secret perfect face. 

From beginningless lifetimes, until now in this human lifetime, naturally grasping at the illusion of appearances, following worldly wealth and fame, practicing the afflictive emotions of mistaken illusion, whose actions are those of non-virtuous deeds and obscurations, we confess in front of the deity and great master. Please accept our confessions and bless us with the accomplishment, the victory of the great king, the wrathful tiger deity. From the very beginning of emptiness, you have had a pristine wisdom body. 

However, ourselves having the illusions of the skin body, Whatever non-virtuous actions that we have committed out of ignorance, we confess the broken samaya of the body. Please accept our confessions and bless us with the accomplishment. The supreme and splendorous speech of Takla Mebar, you are the speech of the pristine wisdom of unceasing Buddha. I am speechless as my speech cannot match yours of the unceasing Buddha. Whatever the misbehaviors of our speech have been such as harsh words and gossiping, we confess the broken samaya of speech. Please accept our confessions and bless us with the siddhi. 

Supreme and luminous mind of Takla Mebar, your mind is primordially lucid and omniscient; Whereas, we are bound with ignorance and illusion. Thus, my mind diverts towards misconduct. We confess the broken samaya of the mind. Please accept our confession and bless us with the siddhi. We offer our confessions of body, speech and mind. Please bestow on us the siddhi of body, speech and mind. Please show your pristine wisdom, wrathful deity face at this moment. You are the victorious wrathful deity endowed with the body of excellent qualities and deeds. 

Whereas I, the practitioner, do not possess any meaningful or excellent qualities. There might be afflictions due to negative forces, or misconduct such as engaging in the act of helping enemies. We confess in front of the Walshen (wrathful shen) Takla Mebar. Please accept our confession and bless us with the siddhi. 

Moreover, the practitioners like myself who are influenced by ignorance and illusion, utilize the teachings, transmission and instructions incorrectly and procrastinate the timely offering into months and years, not reciting the mantra and heart-essence according to the scriptures. Therefore, we confess going against the teachings of Yungdrung Bon. Please accept our confessions and bless us with the siddhi.
