LAMA CHÖPA ( GURU PUJA )
PRAYER BOOKLET
Composed by the Fourth Panchen Lama

Losang Chökyi Gyaltsen
GADEN SHARTSE DRO-PHEN LING

The Guru Puja (Lama Chopa) is a special Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa.
The Guru Puja includes all the essential practices of the stages of
the path (Lamrim) and training the mind (Lojong), as well as both
the generation stage and completion stages of the Highest Yoga Tantra.
It is a special method for invoking and receiving blessings from
our Teacher(s) - for purification of negativity, merit accumulation,
and swift accomplishments on the path.
We practice the Guru Puja together by making a Tsog Offering too.

This ritual is conducted on Tsog days which falls on the 10th and 25th
of the Tibetan calendar each month. The main purpose of a Tsog
offering is to restore broken commitments, delight Dakas and Dakinis,
and receive special blessings from our Teacher(s).

Everything becomes empty. Within a state of emptiness, from a YAM comes a

blue bow-shaped wind mandala marked with banners, on top of which from
a RAM comes a red triangular fire mandala. On top of that, from an AH
comes a fire-grate of three human heads, on top of which from an AH comes a
white skull-cup. Inside it, in the east from a BHRUM comes the flesh of a bull
marked with GO. In the south from an AM comes the flesh of a dog marked
with a KU. In the west from a JRIM comes the flesh of an elephant marked with
a DA. In the north from a KHAM comes the flesh of a horse marked with a HA,
and in the center, from a HUM, comes the flesh of a human marked with a NA.
In the southeast from a LAM, comes feces marked with a BI. In the southwest
from a MAM, comes blood marked with a RA. In the northwest from a PAM,
comes white bodhicitta marked with a SHU. In the northeast from a TAM,
comes marrow marked with a MA. And in the center from a BAM comes urine
marked with a MU. On top of this are a white OM, a red AH and a blue HUM
stacked one on top the other. From the HUM at my heart light rays emanate,
striking the wind, whereby the wind moves, the fire blazes and the substances
inside the skull-cup melt and boil. From the three syllables, light rays emanate
successively, pulling back the vajra-body, vajra-speech and vajra-mind, which
dissolve successively into the three syllables. These then fall into the skull-cup
and melt. By means of the HUM, our faults and impurities are cleansed. The
AH is transformed into nectar. By means of OM the nectar increases and
multiplies.
