(ge sar rgyal po’i dbang sdud bzhugs so)

by Ju Mipham Rinpoché, Jamyang Namgyel Gyamtso (‘ju mi pham rin po che, rnam rgyal rgya mtsho, 1846-1912)

Translated from the Tibetan by Erick Tsiknopoulos

RANG-NYIY SENG-CH’EN GYËL-PO MAR-SËL DÉ-CH’AK DZEY-PA’I NYAM GYA BAR-WA
Contemplate as follows: You yourself are the King Great Lion [Gésar], bright red, blazing with hundreds of beautiful expressions of blissful passion,

CH’AK YAY CHAK-KYU’I CH’AK-GYA DANG
Right hand in the symbolic gesture (mudrā) of a hook,

YÖN MÉ-TOK PAY-MA’I T’RENG-WA MAR-PO DREN-PA
The left bearing a red garland of lotus flowers,

DAR-MAR GYI BER DANG LA-T’Ö CHEN
With a cloak and hood of red silk,

NOR-BU DANG MU-TIK MAR-PO UT-PA-LA’I T’RENG-WAY DZEY-PA
Beautified by garlands of Utpala flowers, red jewels and pearls,

ZHAP CH’EY-KYIL-CHEN Ö MAR-PO’I LONG NA WANG-DZAY WER-MA DANG KHAN-DRO’I TS’OK KYIY KOR-WA’I T’UK-KAR PAY-MA MAR-PO DANG NYI-KYIL HRĪH MAR-PO’I T’AR NGAK KYIY KOR-WA’I Ö KYIY MIK-JA RANG-WANG-MEY-PAR KUK-PAR SAM LA
Legs in half-crossed [half-lotus] position, in an expanse of red light, surrounded by assemblies of magnetizing Battle Spirits (wer-ma) and Sky Dancers (ḍākinīs). In the heart-center is a red lotus, Sun Maṇḍala [disc], and red HRĪḤ  [syllable]. As the Mantra revolves around its edge, it gives off light which draws in [and attracts] your objects of focus [and desired objectives] irresistibly. And this is:

OṂ MAHĀSIDHA MAṆI RĀJA PADMA HASA PRAMODAPARA HANA HANA/ CH’ÉGÉMO ĀKARŚAYA PAŚAṂ KURU JA JAḤ

[Tibetan pronunciation: OṂ MAHĀSIDHA MAṆI RĀDZA PAYMA HASA PRAMODAPARA HANA HANA/ CH’ÉGÉMO ĀKARSHAYA PASHAṂ KURU DZA DZAḤ]

{Note: CH’ÉGÉMO (che-ge-mo) is a Tibetan word which means “so-and-so”. Here, in place of CH’ÉGÉMO, one should insert the name of the person or thing which one wishes to magnetize.}

By reciting thus, signs will quickly come.

Recite this Mantra over these four: red salt (lan-tshwa dmar-po), elephant’s trunk flower ([me tog] glang-sna, Sansevieria zeylanica), grapes (rgun-’brum), and beer (chang). Then consume them, touch them, and apply them to smoke, incense and other scents burnt in fire. For even if they are cast in the wind, they will definitely magnetize. SAMAYA.

This was written on the evening of the nineteenth day of the tenth month of the Earth Guardian (sa-skyong) year [the 19th year of the 60 year rab-byung Tibetan astrological cycle, which is the Female Earth Bird (shing mo bya) Year — in all likelihood, 1909].
