    Avalokiteshvara

    Visualization Meditation
    The Meditation for All Beings Throughout Space as transmitted by
    Tangtong Gyalbo to Thubten Yeshe, to all teachers
    1. Start: Repeat the Refuges and
    Bodhisattva Vow

    I take refuge in the Buddha, May all actions I undertake---


    Dharma, and Sangha until I am giving, moral conduct,
    enlightened. forbearance, energy,
    meditation, insight--- cause me
    to accomplish Buddhahood, in
    order to help all beings.
    2. Undertake the Visualization
    (in the Mind’s Eye)

    I place on top of my head a white lotus


    and moon, and on top of that the
    mantra “HRIH”… from which appears
    Avalokiteshvara. White, luminous,
    emanating five color light rays. Smiling,
    he watches with loving kindness. Of his
    four hands: the first two are palms
    together, and the other two hold a
    crystal rosary and a lotus. He is adorned
    with silk, with ornaments, wears a deer
    skin across his chest, and has a crown
    with Amitabha on it. He sits in lotus
    position, leans against a pure moon. He
    has become the essence of all refuges.
    3. Activation of the Bodhisattva’s Compassion

    [While holding visualized bodhisattva in mind, repeat 3, 7, or 108


    times:]
    I revere noble Avalokiteshvara, who is perfect, white, whose head is
    adorned by the Perfected Buddha, and who watches beings with
    boundless compassion.
    4. The Bodhisattva’s Compassionate Insight
    PERSONALLY Incorporated

    [Visualize primary color light rays emanating from Arya’s body


    entering one’s (own) body, dissolving all impure karma and
    mistaken ideas, while repeating this mantra for 3, 7, or 108 rosary
    cycles:]

    OM MANE PADME HUM


    [At the end, realize: Sights, Sounds, and Thoughts are Empty,
    becoming undifferentiated.]
    5. Absorption in Emptiness

    [One or more rosary cycles]

    (Become absorbed in one’s own consciousness, which is not rooted


    in a constructed self…)
    6. Reabsorption in Avalokiteshvara’s Essence
    [Visualize:] THE DIVINE IMAGE VANISHES INTO SPACE
    7. Return to Samasara and
    Renew Bodhisattva Vow

    [Repeat:]

    Through this merit may I quickly become as Avalokiteshvara

    and establish all beings without exception as bodhisattvas.

    May all beings share the merit of this meditation.
