beings!

Translated by Vajranatha

1. In here John M. Reynolds' translation have additional verses (not included in original Longchen
Nyingthig text) :
"From the realm of the spontaneously perfected fivefold certainty,
We pray to Jigmed Trinlay Odzer:
Grant us the blessing to understand the primal awareness with respect to the body.
From the vajra-like palace of the Rainbow Body of the Four Visions,
We pray to Ngadak Yeshe Gyatso:
Grant us the blessing to understand what transcends the intellect and is free of conceptual elaborations.
From the immeasurable celestial palace of the indestructible Sphere, in the centre of our hearts,
We pray to our benevolent Root Guru:
Grant us the blessing to understand here the Great Unification."

These are verses of homage to the lineage holders of Longchen Nyingthig after Jigme Lingpa and they
will be added by the Lama conferring the empowerment, depending on his own lineage.

Simhamukha of Jigme Lingpa 3


Here is contained 'The Secret Sadhana of the Consort who possesses the Face of the Lion', from the
Longchen Nyingthig.


This teaching was bestowed by the Dakinis of Space upon that great individual Padmasambhava, in the cremation grounds of the
liberated eight aggregates, from the middle of the vast expanse of the sounds of the Dharmata, the lights of the Dharmata, and the
rays of the Dharmata. In a mandala of sindhura (the practitioner should draw) the interlaced triangles of the Dharmodaya and
the lotus circle, surrounded by volcanos and the rock walls of the cremation grounds.There is a crystal placed at its center and
this is surrounded by the mirror.The inner offerings consisting of the consecrated sacred substances should be well prepared.

11. MANTRA RECITATION

(Eleventh, as for the intention of singing aloud the mantras:


Fixating one's mind on the principal deity is the seva practice, having completely perfected the principal deity and its retinue is
the upaseva practice, exerting oneself in reciting the mantra is the sadhana practice, and the emanating and the reabsorbing of
the rays of light is the mahasadhana practice.)

tuk kar nyi den hum gi tar


Around the syllable HUM seated upon a solar disc in Her heart center

nyen dak pu sh ta b kor


Revolves the seva-mantra, appearing like fine hairs:

OM VAJRA SENGHAMUKHA HUM HA HE PHAT

(The proper action is reciting it some hundred-thousand times.)

Simhamukha of Jigme Lingpa 12


drup ngak gel m khor lo zhin
The siddhi-mantra for realization, like a circle of light from the whirling about of a firebrand,

yn kor m tak tro war gom


Revolves to the left, with sparks flying from it:

A KA SA MA RA TSA SHIA DA RA SA MA RA YA PHAT

zer par tr gyel wa chod


Rays of light emanate and make offerings to the Jinas

jin lap ng drup tsur la du


And return hither bearing blessings and attainments and are absorbed.

lar tr dro w l nyn jang


Again they emanate and now purify the passions and actions of all beings,

yl druk rang gar dzin p dra


Thereby the six objecets, being much like enemies which are grasped without purpose,

yl chen nam par tok p geg


And the subject, beset by obstacles which are discursive thoughts,

dak p n ch chen por jang


Are both purified in the great vessel of the universe and the inhabitants it contains.

(When counting off the mantras, proceed as in the previous seva practice. Eventually one will perceive the signs of realization
from practice. And with respect to the four Vidyadhara stages, this will constitute the Vidyadhara stage of maturation. Then
afterwards, there is the rite which is in accordance with the scripture of the Consort.)

PART II: THE GANACHAKRAPUJA



(Then, as for the Ganachakra feast and the propitiation rite which belong to the subsequent stages: among all of the methods for
accululating merit, the Ganachakra rite is supreme. The sacred samaya substances for which the Dakinis will assemble and the

(One may augment this with any other benedictions. As for this Secret Sadhana of Simhamukha, since it is very profound, it should
be kept secret and apart. Drawing from various symbols and designs having the form of birds, a person of royal rank completed
this lineage. SAMAYA GYA GYA GYA Profoundly sealed! Secretly sealed! (The above text) was set down from a single
hieroglyph in the form of a multicoloured bird drawn on golden paper.)

The translation of the Secret Sadhana of Simhamukha, belonging to the Terma cycle of the Longchen
Nyingthig of Jigmed Lingpa, was made by Vajranatha (John Myrdhin Reynolds); done at Strode House,
South Devon, on this new moon day of the tenth Tibetan lunar month of the Wood-Ox year (November
1985).
