Chanted Verses for Offering the Supports for Enlightened Body, Speech, and Mind

“An example of good characteristics is this aggregate body, this statue of exalted qualities. It skillfully arises as a manifested fortress for the mind. Because of offering this receptacle for emanations made with precious jewels, stay and watch over the teachings and migrating beings!

Expressing words like a mala of pleasant melodies, abundant with the splendor of meaningful expressions, and a treasure of profound liberation, because of offering this support for the speech of those who have gone to bliss, stay and watch over the teachings and migrating beings!

An extraordinary object that displays the mind of a perfect enlightened one and provides the skillful means for irreversible devotion, in order to establish this object for the three kinds of devotion, we offer this chorten to the protector of beings!

Through the power of the truth of offering these three supports along with this aspiration prayer, you, our protector and a treasure of buddha activity, because of our fear of many hardships and difficulties, with your good qualities and splendor, may you remain for a very long time!”

En l’honneur de la célébration de la naissance de Sa Sainteté le 33ème Menri Trizin Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoché le jour de la Pleine Lune du 5ème mois tibétain, le 24 juin 2021, la nouvelle publication de « La sphère du cœur de Chamma », traduite du tibétain et annotée par Raven Cypress Wood, puis traduite en français par Guy Desbiolles est maintenant disponible.

Ce texte est une transmission orale qui a été donnée à S.S. le 22ème Menri Trizin Sonam Lodro Rinpoché par une manifestation de Chamma connue sous le nom de Khandro Sherab Lo Pélma, la mère de sagesse qui développe l’esprit. Dans la pratique de la sphère du cœur de Chamma, chaque partie du corps du pratiquant est transformée en un aspect de Chamma. De cette manière, le corps tout entier devient le mandala éveillé de la Mère aimante.

« Des syllabes RU à chaque poil du corps se manifestent les 5500 shen primordiaux, les héritiers spirituels de Chamma. Je me prosterne devant la Mère du ciel et de la terre, la Mère des terres et des voies et des différents types d’existence authentiquement établie, devant la Mère qui donne naissance aux héritiers spirituels des Victorieux ! 

De la syllabe PA à chaque cheveu de la tête se manifestent les centaines de milliers d’émanations de Chamma illimitées.  Je me prosterne devant la Mère qui renverse les ennemis, les obstacles, les maladies et les négativités, la Mère qui est la Glorieuse Guide sur le chemin ! »

De La Sphère du Cœur de Chamma

Ce livret comprend des images en couleur annotées de Chamma accompagnée de ses cinq manifestations de sagesse et de ses huit manifestations qui protègent de la peur. De plus, il y a une brève biographie de S.S. le 22ème Menri Trizin Sonam Lodro. Afin de soutenir davantage la pratique, le livret se termine par la traduction de « Eliminer les obstacles du chemin », une autre transmission orale de Khandro Sherab Lo Pélma qui est souvent pratiquée comme une récitation quotidienne dans la communauté Bönpo et considérée comme un puissant moyen de protection et de soutien.

Here at the beginning, in order for suffering sentient beings to traverse the extraordinary place of the grounds,

Tenth is the ground of the changeless yungdrung. Upon the ground of the changeless yungdrung, having cleansed and purified the stain of delusion and dull-mindedness and having perfected the great accumulation of wisdom,  may I see the face of Sherap Jamma, the Loving Mother of Wisdom! 

May I see the face of Satrik Érsang! Having seen the face of Satrik Érsang, may I spontaneously accomplish benefit for myself!

Having spontaneously accomplished benefit for myself, may I perfect benefit for others!

Having perfected benefit for others, may the welfare of sentient beings ripen!

Having ripened the welfare of sentient beings, may I tread the ground of universal light!

Having tread the ground of universal light and also tread upon the ground of the great bliss of Bön, may I perfect the three bodies upon the ground of unmoving equanimity where everything is inexpressible!

Having perfected the three bodies upon the ground of unmoving equanimity, may I instantly be born upon a pure lotus!

Having been instantly born upon a pure lotus, may I fulfill complete benefit for sentient beings!”
