    About this ebook

    Powerful Transformation elucidates the alchemical principles of development and completion stage practices applied in a sublime manner. What prevents the meditation experiences and realization from arising, are mainly our misdeeds, obscurations and habitual patterns, these can be purified by Vajrasattva Practice. When a yogi attains accomplishment, the obstacles become greater and can be overcome by Vajrakilaya Practice, combined with recognition of mind nature. In the Secret Heart Essence, these two powerful yidams are combined as conduits to realization and accomplishment. These teachings on the hidden treasures of Chokgyur Lingpa by Karmey Khenpo Rinchen Dargye, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche, and Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche exactly describe how to train.

      VAJRAKILAYA PRACTICE

      Introduction to Sangtik Phurba

      Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche

      From the teacher Samantabhadra, within the equality of the four times—the time beyond the past, present, and future—in the place of the dharmadhatu buddhafield of Akanishtha, unmoved from the infinite, uncreated, great buddha mind, the unobstructed miraculous manifestation of the mandala of the basic nature itself arose as the form of Dorje Shonnu and consort. From this union of nondual wisdom and means, the various wrathful ones in the ten directions and the mandala of the sons of Phurba openly emanated and were taught the hundred thousand excellent classes in the different tantras of the activity phurba.

      The lineage thus starts with the great teacher Samantabhadra and passes to Vajrasattva, Vajrapani, and to Dakini Leykyi Wangmo, from whom the Brahmin Miyi Thopachen and others received it. Then, after the Phurba tantras appeared in the world of men, the pandita Prabhahasti was able to defeat the anti-Dharma non-Buddhists of Golden Island in India, converting them into faithful Buddhists. Acharya Garab Dorje received the actual Phurba tantra from Vajrasattva on the peak of Mount Malaya, as he states in his tantras. Acharya Hungchenkara and other awareness holders removed the accomplishment sectionii as terma from the garden of Silwatsal Sitavana, Cool Grove.

      After non-Buddhists had devastated the Sandalwood Grove by fire, Acharya Padma (Guru Rinpoche) restored it to its former state, by the power of his phurba. Vimalamitra, by brandishing his phurba, reversed the flow of the Ganges, split its upper and lower parts, and destroyed the man-eating sea monsters dwelling there. The Nepali Shri Manju at Drakmar Gongchen smashed the rocky hills to pieces and subdued the rock goblins and thieves. Similarly, the Nepalese woman Kalasiddhi struck the rock of Kargong with her phurba, displaying marks of accomplishment.

      The Lady of Kharchen, Yeshe Tsogyal, brandished her phurba at an attacking wolf and caused it to stumble and fall. Having tamed the ancestral goblins, she was renowned for taming a succession of spirits. Such was the extent of her liberating activity, that she could kill and revive ravens as well as resuscitate human corpses. These and many other examples show her innumerable marks of attainment. Tsogyal’s disciple Menu Gyalwey Nyingpo, carrying a garland of ravens, could cause them to fall to the ground, with his mystic contemplation (of Phurba). Palgyi Lodro of the Lo clan, striking the army barracks with his phurba, utterly defeated the Nepalese army. Nyag Jnana completely destroyed his brothers’ enemies. There are these and many other related tales.

      The power of the Phurba practices destroys the outer enemies and obstacle makers and subdues the inner obscuring emotions, thus allowing practitioners to actualize the realization of dharmata, the inexpressible. Once the Phurba tantras reached Tibet, Phurba became the method for pacifying obstacles, demons, and hindrances. The Phurba of Vitotama, having been brought to Nepal, pacified all obstacles immediately. In the material sense, magical expressions are actually manifested; in the subjective sense, the inconceivable blessings of liberation in the dharmadhatu are attained. As Phurba is the lord of activity of all the buddhas, Phurba masters had long, prosperous lives and were renowned far and wide for their great powers.

      The great tertön Dharma King Chokgyur Lingpa has three classes of Phurba: gyū or Mahayoga, the Zabdun Phurba; lung or Anuyoga, the Lungchen Dorje Kopa Phurba; and the men-ngag or Atiyoga, this Sangtik Phurba. Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo has the hearing lineage, called the Phrin las Phur pai gNad tig. Both Khyentse and Chokling, as explained above, actualized the inner and outer marks of attainment. Thus are the authorizations of both the profound Terma tradition and the Hearing lineage completed.

      As for the Sangtik Phurba having the marks of the heruka, it contains all of a heruka’s qualities and accoutrements. He is a sambhogakaya representation with the heart of great compassion, able to liberate sentient beings. As the quintessential Phurba, the Sangtik Phurba has been the yidam of all the Choklings. It is the Atiyoga Phurba, the Phurba of the oral instructions. The practice is very efficacious for getting rid of all obstacles, being concise and easy to do, and it contains great blessings.
