養和齋 於加州
Homa Ritual Honoring Rainbow-body Guru Rinpoche
Based on the Format of Chinese Homa Rituals by Guru Chen Written in Chinese and Translated into English by his disciple Dr. Yutang Lin (With Guru Chen's original English stanzas preserved as many as appropriate)
1. Getting Permission from the Goddess of the Earth
Visualize the Goddess of the Earth with a yellow body as suddenly appearing from the earth and accepting the blessing of the Master who is no different from the Yidam, Red Chenrezi. After she offers her approbation, she disappears. The Master wields the Vajra toward the center of the borrowed place where the fire altar is situated to create there a Vajra-cross foundation. Repeat the ″Heart Mantra of Guru Rinpoche″ and the following half-stanza: Abiding in the limitless oneness of Dharmadhatu, The Mandala of Guru Rinpoche and his consorts appears within.
2. Generating Bodhicitta
Stanza: The graceful source of Tibetan Vajrayana, Patriarch Padmasambhava, All with fortunate connections are blessed by your rainbow-body presence. Universally grant fearlessness, save beings from Five Poisons, and increase their merits and wisdom. Out of compassion for beings please accept this offering to help plant causes for attaining Sambhogakaya! Instantaneously the Master transforms into the Golden Chenrezi, wearing Guru Rinpoche′s round-cap.
3. Blessing the Bell, Vajra, and Drum
(a) Visualization: Visualize that Father and Mother Steadfast Buddha become lights that go into the Vajra and Bell, respectively. Visualize the moon on the right palm and the sun on the left one. With the right hand holding the Vajra and the left one holding the Bell, recite: "Ma Ha, Ban Zha, Hong" and "Ban Zha, Ga Za, A." (All incantations are written in Pin Yin, in accordance with Guru Chen's pronunciation.) Use the Vajra to touch the heart chakra three times, simultaneously ring the Bell three times.
(b) Stanza: Bell rings and Drum resonates to wake ignorant and deluded beings. By observing sounds to realize Sunyata and return to original purity, Compassion wells up and Guan Yin appears instantly like echoes. Wondrous sounds, pure sounds, and sounds of ocean tidal waves!
(c) Incantation of Blessing the Bell and Vajra: Weng, Sha Wa Da Ta Ga Da, Xi Di Ban Zha, San Ma Ya, Di Cha, Ei Qia Si Dang, Da La Ya Mi, Ban Zha Sa Duo, Hei Hei Hei Hei Hei, Hong Hong Hong Pei, Suo Ha.
(d) Incantation of Requesting the Blessing of All Buddhas: Then, while reciting the incantation of Requesting the Blessing of All Buddhas, use the Vajra to touch the heart chakra to awake all the Buddhas that are in one's own Buddha-nature and with the opening of the Bell facing the top of the Master's head, turn the Bell around three times counter-clockwise, then three times clockwise, thus all Buddhas in the ten directions are requested to give blessing. Weng, Ban Zha, Geng Zha La Li Da, Zhua La Li Da, Shuang Zhua La Li Da, Sha Wa Bu Da Ken Zha, Zhua Zha Li Lei, Zhua Zha Ba Li Mi, Geng Zha Da Na Ya, Shuang Ha Bi Da, Ban Zha Da Ma Xi Da Ya, Sha Wa Qia Li, Hong Hong Hong, Ho Ho Ho, A Kang Suo Ha.
4. Protection
Two pieces of food, prepared in advance, are offered. One is white in color for vegetarian Gods and the other is red for carnivorous Gods.
(a) The Incantation to offer food to the Protectors: Weng, Ka Ka, Ka Xi, Ka Xi.
(b) Prayer Stanza to the Protectors: All the eight departments of protectors, And all the Yaksas and your family, Please take all this blessed and delicious food. Protect all the Yogis and their families. Let all of them be free and have long life! Gather all merits and sow all best seeds! And may you inspire all special enjoyments! Especially help endeavors toward enlightenment, And let me get all the accomplishments! Please remember all your excellent vows, Help me to accomplish all salvation activities! Get rid of all bad conditions and death, Destroy all my obstacles and demons. Pacify all terrible dreams and bad omens. Protect us from all dangerous risks. Help to make peace and rich harvests for all, May plenty of all kinds of corn and Dharma, And all good pleasures be helped by you! Do help me to fulfill all my best wishes! Those who have been divined to darkness And cannot understand all the Tantras, Not able to hear and see this secrecy, Please leave here and go to the places where you belong. If you don't take my advice right now, I shall use the powerful and fiery Vajra To destroy your head into many pieces!
The Karma Vajra throws the two pieces of food in two different directions.
(c) Repeat the Four-Hong Incantation while throwing the mustard seeds: Repeat the Four-Hong Incantation to send the black deities away. Weng, Song Ba Li, Song Ba Li, Hong Hong Pei! Weng, Ge Li Ha Na, Ge Li Ha Na, Hong Hong Pei! Weng, Ge Li Ha Na Ba Ya, Ge Li Ha Na Ba Ya, Hong Hong Pei! Weng, A Na Ya Ho, Ba Ga Wen, Bi Ya Lan Zha, Hong Hong Pei!
Then the Master visualizes the Vajra Net that covers all ten directions and is formed with the Vajra Net Mudra. Thus, from the beginning of the Homa performance until its end, the altar and the Master and his family and followers are protected.
5. Blessing the Offerings
The Master holds the Vajra dippers together, repeats the incantation given below and visualizes much nectar falling down from Father and Mother Yidam upon all the offerings. Thus, all worldly offerings become Vajra Nectar of boundless supply. Weng, Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
6. Arranging the Seat of the God of Fire and that of the Yidam
Place auspicious grasses around the fire altar. Then arrange seats for the God of Fire and the Yidam.
A. Praising and Welcoming the Golden God of Fire
(a) Praise: Shine upon the dark becoming the bright. Drive away the demons with big fire! Your kind smile sends away the sorrows. Please sit on this good seat and admire!
(b) Visualize the Golden God of Fire: "Lang" appears on the moon that is on a lotus. From this "Lang" arises the golden God of Fire! He has one face and two arms. The right hand holds the stove. The left hand holds a fairy bottle. His hair is very long; his belly big. He has a golden Brahmin thread around his belly!
(c) Welcome the Fire God: The Master raises a bunch of auspicious grass up to the sky to welcome the Wisdom God of Fire and repeats the following incantation: Zha Ge Hong Zha
(d) Praise: You are the victorious Prince of Dharma. You have got the initiation of good Karma! Your wisdom fire can get rid of obstacles! I, now, beg you to help this Homa!
B. Arranging the Auspicious Seat for the Yidam
(a) Arrange the seat for Guru Rinpoche with the following stanza: Pervading the Dharmadhatu Your responding bodies have no definite abode, Such compassion serves as the supreme seat outwardly. Salvation activities born of oneness in Dharmakaya continue without ending, Such merciful kindness serves as the supreme seat inwardly. Harmonizing Sunyata and Bliss through initiations to nourish White and Red Bodhi, Such compassionate well-being serves as the supreme seat secretly. Reveal original purity in Sunyata Brightness to merge into Non-duality, Such compassionate harmony serves as the supreme seat most secretly.
(b) Visualization of Guru Rinpoche and consorts: Graceful source of unsurpassable Tantric teachings in snowy realm, Guru Rinpoche, the rainbow-body Padmasambhava! The supreme pleasure Wisdom Dakini, Mother Mandarava, Set paradigm for all posterity by offering herself to Guru Rinpoche! Compiling all teachings of Guru Rinpoche, and wrote his biography, ′Tis the grace of Mother Yeshe Trogyal in preserving the treasures! As the unified totality of all attainments of all Buddhas, All sentient beings with fortunate connections admire and rely on You!
(c) The Seven-branch Prayer: Paying homage through always remaining in accord with sentient beings, Repeating the Heart Mantra of Guru Rinpoche as perpetual praising, Abiding in Bodhicitta is genuine repentance, Spreading Dharma teachings far and wide serves as giving approval, Vehemently turn the Dharma Wheel of Universal Salvation, Long abiding in the compassionate body of oneness of all, Dedicate merits toward all beings' attainment of rainbow-body.
(d) Praise the Yidam: Reverently recite the following praises: Veneration
in the Presence of Great Master Padmasambhava and retinue!
Graceful source of the Tantric
Ocean, the deathless Lotus-born,
Adorning
the salvation, the two deathless Mother Buddhas,
Sustaining
the salvation activities, the Venerable Damchen Dorje Legpa,
Right
in front you appeared to me in brightness free from hindrances and limits.
Buddha lights bestowed on a large lotus
To save all beings appeared there a boy
Established as prince, the country became prosperous
Through committing sinful acts to obtain renunciation
Learned in all sorts of knowledge and practiced Dharma
Lived in cemeteries, showed miraculous transformations
Tamed evil beings and cultivated Dakinis on the path
Roaming everywhere to spread teachings wide and far
Upon request entered Tibet to establish the first monastery
The root and source of Buddhist Tantra thereby established
Transmitted Tantras in Mandala to twenty-five disciples
Red-robed and white-clothed ones continued the lineages
Essential Sutras and Tantras selected to translate into Tibetan
Dharma treasures thus gathered and stored in snow country
Great Perfection teachings based on original purity of all things
Concealed in Earth, Water, Space and Mind Hidden Treasures
Rainbow body of death-free nature appeared as occasions called for Disciples of meritorious conditions are all blessed by your compassion
Supplication to Guru
Rinpoche
Gracious source of Tibetan Tantra in rainbow body,
Deathless salvation through opportune appearances,
Bright light of Sunyata Pleasure grants universal
blessing,
Wondrous bliss of innate purity sets the universe
in spring.
Praise to Patriarch Mandarava
Born of royal status as a princess yet enjoyed renunciation
Led five hundred maidens to practice toward original purity
Wisdom eyes capable of recognizing Guru Rinpoche's virtues
In devotion to Guru offered her body beyond worldly ways
Huge fire on large pile of firewood turned into a clear pond
The whole kingdom overwhelmed, and all took refuge in Guru
In the Cave of Death Ceased practiced Tantric Love
Bone ornaments adorned her rainbow-like light body
Saved a girl from peril and led her to become a Dakini
Thus, set a supreme epitome of upbringing posterity
Staying in this world and appeared as patriarch Niguma Graceful virtues illustrative of boundless longevity
Praise to Patriarch Yeshe Tsogyal
Worldly fames and honors had long since learned to renounce
Capable of practicing Tantra that is so sublime and profound
Able to gather and sustain all heart essences of Guru Rinpoche
Supernatural abilities displayed ever so often to convert and help
Stayed up in snow mountain caves to practice until almost dead
Carried out Tantric Love practices to harmonize joy and light
Transmitted teachings through Termas to wait for suitable vessels Thanks to you, graceful source of Tibetan Tantras spread and remained
Supplication to Patriarch Yeshe Tsogyal
In front of beloved grandma of Tantric practices
Dharma grandson is here to salute you in prostration
Our golden lineage came down to this degenerated age
Had become even thinner and scarcer than a thread
Those have fortunate connections can be counted by fingers
Alas! How many of them are capable of actual practices
Hindered by self-set limits are often the cases
Devoted and dedicated ones mostly encountered difficulties
Even though trials might have piled up like mountains
Ardent Bodhi aspiration has never wavered a bit
Simply for the sake of liberating all beings from sufferings
Dedication of this life is not worth any considerations
Only begging dear grandma for compassionate blessings
To protect and guide genuine Tantric practitioners
So that they may sooner realize union of joy and light
And thus, become capable of advocating the path of Greed
Just as grandma's grace spread far and wide through ages
We
will save all beings because they are as dear as our own mothers
Grace of the Presence of Guru
Rinpoche
Round
face, round eyes, baby Guru Rinpoche was so alive,
Round
hat flew up all by itself, what supernatural power!
Compassion
encompassing all beings, want to read news,
All
sentient beings being equal, Guru appeared as a puppy!
Supplication to Guru Rinpoche for
Round-cap Blessing
Merciful Guru Rinpoche displayed self-rising of his round cap
Asked for newspapers to teach compassion for the delinquent age
Appeared as puppy to show offering to beings amounts to offering to Guru
Benefiting all those with karmic connections, one remembers this
teaching constantly
May all receive blessing from Guru Rinpoche to attain Great
Perfection soon
Reverently had a round cap duplicated to seek earnestly your special
favor
May whoever see or hear about this round cap be blessed as in your
holy presence
That
their karma dissipated, and wisdom and merits grow to the boundless sphere
Supplication to Damchen
Dorje Legpa
Capable of sustaining Guru Rinpoche's boundless
salvation activities
Compassionate protection continues to benefit all
lineage followers
Tantric practices often encounter all sorts of
dangers and hindrances
Only relying on Your mighty powers can the path be smooth and even
7. Blessing the Wood and Oil
Stanza: With the calamity-like firewood, Start up the wisdom fire. After offering them, All the Sages, beings, do have the Pleasure! The pure and clean butter helps the wisdom fire, May all sufferings in the six realms be burned out!
8. Starting the Fire
(a) Start the fire: With the fire mudra turn around clockwise thrice on top of the fire altar while repeating, "Lang Lang Lang." Use a fan with the Tibetan syllable "Yang" to fan the fire thrice while repeating, "Yang, Yang, Yang." Then repeat: Wisdom Wisdom Great Wisdom! Wisdom Wisdom Constant Wisdom! Wisdom Wisdom Samadhi Wisdom! Wisdom Wisdom Tranquility Wisdom!
(b) Offering to the God of Fire: Incantation: Weng, A Na Ye, Sha Ba Li Wa La, Ka Ka, Ka Xi, Ka Xi. Praise: You are the sovereign Prince of Dharma. You have been blessed as King of Karma! With special wisdom burn up the sorrow, Help us to fulfill the good wishes through Homa!
(c) Prayer to the God of Fire: Stanza: I, the Acarya, and all the followers Do have learned Dharma and done good Karma. Any kind of obstacles before the Homa is done Please send away from this Mandala! Weng, A Na Ye, Sha Ba Li Wa La, Weng, Sha Wa Ba Bang, Xin Deng Gu Lu Ye, Suo Ha.
9. Offering to Guru Rinpoche
(a) Offer Bodhi-branches: Stanza: Once protected Sakyamuni Buddha to attain Enlightenment and realize original purity, Serving as adornment to the Mandala and blindfold to worldly views outside it, Bodhi branches form great shade for the uncontrived original state, After offering them Four Bliss of Sunyata pleasure will reveal supreme brightness! Incantation (repeat thrice): Weng A Hong, Ban Zha Gu Lu, Bei Ma, Xi Di, Hong, Weng, Po Ti Zhi Qia Ye, Suo Ha.
(b) Offer black sesame: Stanza: Ignorance as the cause grasped by black and white karmas, Perverse views, disasters, and sufferings, all transform into offering. After this offering one would realize that ignorance is originally of empty nature. Reveal Dharmakaya for all beings so that all would attain great tranquility. Incantation: Weng A Hong, Ban Zha Gu Lu, Bei Ma, Xi Di, Hong, Weng, Sha Wa Ba Bang, Xin Deng Gu Lu Ye, Suo Ha.

Stanza on Constant Illumination
and Wide Spreading of Dharma
Engulfed in the Five Poisons,
sentient beings in the Six Realms are trapped in delusions;
May all in sufferings thereby turn
to seek the path of emancipation!
Worldly problems having no
solutions, lingering therein will gain only toil and distress in vain;
May all become awaken and escape
from entanglements without further deliberations and cares!
All are impermanent and there is
no possibility of control and management on changing;
May all become keenly aware of
this and no longer linger in comparisons and calculations!
Essence of Dharma difficult to
comprehend and paths of Dharma practices are variant and at odds;
May all mature in Wisdom to
renounce partial grasping and reach harmonious comprehension!
Intertwining knots of body and
mind have been accumulated, layers over layers, like a cocoon;
May all sustain resolution in
resolving all such knots on the path of Dharma practices!
Personal grasping, not
extinguished, attainment of enlightenment lacks full completion;
May all, through diligent Dharma
practices, readily attain the state of
non-self!
Full attainment of Dharmakaya
yields incomprehensible display of Wisdom and Compassion;
May all attain Full Enlightenment
to conduct salvation activities without limits and ending!

Epilog
On June 6, 2020 disciple Ben Jing (Originally Pure) sent me an email, asking me to recall the grace of Guru Rinpoche′s appearance to me in the early hours of September 14, 2007, when He expressed concern for the conditions of the world, and thereby be motivated to compose reverently a fire puja ritual in honor of Guru Rinpoche so as to express a bit the sincere gratitude felt, and also to facilitate Buddhists in having opportunities to beseech blessings. Hence, I composed this ritual in Chinese yesterday, and translated it into English today.
