ADVICE FOR PRACTITIONERS 💢

Try imagining Guru Rinpoche above your head, or sitting in front of you, or in your heart.

● As you chant the mantra, imagine an uninterrupted stream of nectar flows down from the guru and dissolves into you.

● At night visualise your guru sitting on a lotus in your heart.

● As you eat, imagine your guru in your throat.

● If you are facing an obstacle, perhaps a dispute in your family, or if you are depressed, visualise your guru on your shoulder, wrathfully baring his fangs.

● Longchen Nyingtik Ngöndro practitioners can imagine sparks of fire and scorpions shooting out from Guru Rinpoche’s vajra, the scorpions snapping up each and every obstacle and swallowing them until they are all completely annihilated.

● As death approaches, visualise your guru in the form of red Amitabha and transfer yourself into Amitabha’s heart, again and again.

Imagine that everyone and everything you encounter throughout the day is none other than Guru Rinpoche.

This is quite a profound practice, and beginners may find it a little difficult at first, so start by doing it on an aspirational level.
