The Meditation Practice of Ma Tri
Om Ma Tri Mu Ye Sa Le Du
Assume the fivefold posture and let your body settle into the posture. Feel relaxed and at ease. Let your
mind settle into the firmness of your posture.
Once you feel settled, visualize a white luminous
syllable Om in the space in front of you above the crown of
your head. The Om rests on a sun and moon disc seated on a
lotus blossom. From the Om, rays of light in the five colors
white, blue, green, red, and yellow radiate outward into all
directions, filling the space around you and everywhere.
Imagine that the light reaches all beings and the Buddhas and
compassionate beings of the ten directions. Then it is reflected
back to you and touches your heart. As the light touches you,
imagine that you are purified of all afflictions and karmic
traces. Being purified, your body transforms into a body of
light.
Now gently bring your attention to the syllable Om in
front of you. Visualize that the Om slowly transforms into
white light. The light transforms into the Buddha of
Compassion, Shenlha Odkar in front of you above the crown of
your head. He is radiant white in color and has one face and
two hands. He is seated in the meditation posture. His hands
in his lap hold the wish-fulfilling jewel. He is adorned with the
thirteen ornaments of peacefulness, including golden necklaces, anklets, and wristlets.
Visualize that Shenlha Odkar transforms into light that enters your body through the crown of
your head. The moment the light touches your head, you transform into Shenlha Odkar. Stay in that
2
state of being Shenlha Odkar, the Buddha of compassion and wisdom.
When you are ready visualize a radiant white syllable Om in your heart center. Visualize the Om as
vividly as possible. The Om is surrounded by the mantra Om Ma Tri Mu Ye Sa Le Du written in clockwise
direction. The syllables gently rotate in an anti-clockwise direction. Visualize radiant rays of white light
radiating outward from the mantra’s syllables. The light touches all Buddhas and compassionate beings.
Then it is reflected back by them and returns to you. Once it touches your heart, feel that you receive
the blessings of all the Buddhas and compassionate beings of the ten directions.
Now visualize bright rays of white light radiating outward from the mantra in your heart, touching
all beings throughout space and time. Send your love and compassion through the rays of light, making
the wish that all beings be free from pain and suffering. The moment the beings are touched by the
light, they become Buddhas, free from all suffering and affliction. Stay in this state of contemplation and
recite the mantra Om Ma Tri Mu Ye Sa Le Du at least seven, twenty-one, or hundred and eight times for
one session.
For the dissolution, visualize that all the wisdom beings slowly dissolve into space like a rainbow
that dissolves. Visualize that all the symbolic beings of your visualization gently dissolve into you. Then
visualize that you yourself dissolve into light. Let the light gently transform into a radiant white syllable
Om. Slowly, the Om transforms into a luminous white A. Be with the A for a while. Now let the A
dissolve into space. Stay in that state of the contemplation of clarity and emptiness.
The Meditation Practice of Du Tri Su
A Kar A Med Du Tri Su Nagpo Zhi Zhi Mal Mal So Ha
For the generation stage, assume the fivefold posture and let your body settle. Feel relaxed and at
ease. Let your mind settle into the firmness of your posture.
We begin the practice of Du Tri Su by taking refuge
in the Buddhas and deities of the teaching cycle of Du Tri
Su: The primordial Buddha Kuntu Zangpo, the Four
Transcendent Buddhas, the six Buddhas Dulwa Shendrug,
the thirteen deities of wisdom and the Guardians of the
Four Directions. Then we generate the heart and mind of
compassion toward all beings of the three realms: the
desire realm, form realm, and formless realm.
When you feel settled into the heart and mind of
compassion, visualize yourself slowly transforming into
the compassionate Buddha Tonpa Shenrab, the
embodiment of knowledge and discriminating
awareness. His body color is radiant golden. In his right
hand he holds the Yungdrung Chag Shing. This double
Yungdrung (Swastika) and the bar that connects the two
Yungdrungs represents the threefold path of liberation of
the Bon: The Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen. His left hand
rests on his lap in the meditation gesture. He is adorned
with the thirteen ornaments of peacefulness. He is seated on a throne supported by the dharma wheel.

On his right shoulder abides the Buddha Shenlha Odkar and on his left shoulder abides the Buddha
Sangpo Bhumtri. Above the crown of his head is the loving mother of compassion Satrig Ersang. He is
surrounded by the Buddhas and deities of the Du Tri Su teachings, including the six compassionate
Buddhas Dulwa Shendrug, the thirteen deities of wisdom Ye Shen Chusum, and the Guardians of the Four
Directions.
In his heart center is a radiant white syllable Om. Bring your attention to the Om. Do your best to
make the visualization as clear as possible so that your heart and mind unify with the Om and you
become one with it. Then visualize that the syllable Om gently dissolves into luminous white light. The
light slowly transforms into the primordial Buddha Kuntu Zangpo. He is the size of a thumb and is seated
in your heart center. The mantra A Kar A Med Du Tri Su Nagpo Zhi Zhi Mal Mal So Ha is written in a
clockwise circle around him. Rays of light emanate from him and touch the mantra. As they touch the
mantra, it begins to rotate slowly in a counterclockwise direction.
Now visualize that infinite rays of light radiate outward from the mantra and touch all beings
throughout space. As they touch each being, they clear any karmic conditioning and obstacles through
the power of the mantra and the blessings. Then the light rays return to you. Visualize that they clear
your karmic conditioning. Once the karmic conditioning is cleared, the five wisdoms manifest
spontaneously in you and all beings.
Visualize that all beings living in the earth, water, fire, air and space benefit from this practice.
Remain in this state of contemplation. From the state of being unified with the mantra, open yourself to
perceiving all form as the Buddhas of the three times, all sounds as the sound of the Du Tri Su mantra,
and all thoughts and feelings as the heart and mind of the primordial Buddha Kuntu Zangpo. Once you
feel settled into this realization, recite the mantra at least 7, 21, or 108 times for one session.
For the dissolution, visualize that all the symbolic beings slowly dissolve into space. Then visualize that
all the wisdom beings gently dissolve into you. Finally, visualize yourself dissolving into a luminous white
syllable A. Then the A dissolves into space. Remain in this state of contemplation, leaving everything as it
is without grasping.
The Meditation Practice of Sa Le Od
A Om Hung
Ah A Kar Sa Le Od A Yang Om Du
For the generation stage, assume the fivefold posture and let
your body settle. Feel relaxed and at ease. Let your mind settle into
the firmness of your posture.
When you are ready, visualize yourself as the primordial
Buddha Kuntu Zangpo in the form of Kunzang Akor. Kunzang Akor is
seated in meditation posture on a sun and moon disk in the infinite
space in front of you. His body is white in color. He has one face and
two hands. In his right hand he holds the Yungdrung (Swastika) in
front of his heart; in the left hand he holds the vase of longevity. At
his heart center is a radiant luminous white syllable A surrounded by the mantra Ah A Kar Sa Le Od A
Yang Om Du. The Mantra is written in clockwise direction and gently rotates counter-clockwise.

Visualize that radiant rays of light emanate from the syllable A and from the mantra. They touch
the hearts of all Buddhas of the ten directions and the 3,000 worlds and dissolve into them. Feel the
light rays expand and become more powerful as they touch the Buddhas. Then visualize that the light
rays return from the Buddhas and dissolve into your entire body. Imagine that you receive the strength
and all the awakened qualities and blessings of the Buddhas. Remain in this state of contemplation of
being filled with blessings.
When you are ready, visualize that radiant rays of light emanate from your heart center. This time
they touch all beings throughout space and dissolve into their hearts. Imagine that the light rays clear
the karmic traces and obscurations of all beings. When the light returns back to you, imagine that your
own karmic traces and obscurations are cleared. Remain in this state of contemplation, having purified all
karmic obscurations of yourself and others.
Now imagine that radiant rays of light emanate from your heart center and touch the obstacles
experienced by all beings and the sources of provocation of energy. Wherever you bring your attention,
all karmic obscurations and obstacles are cleared, and any harmful intentions and ill thoughts are pacified.
Having pacified the harmful intentions and ill thinking of all beings, imagine that all suffering and
pain is released and cleared. Abide in this state of happiness and joy. Then visualize that the light rays
return to you. As the light rays touch you, any imbalances or weaknesses in your life force energy,
strength and prosperity are released and leave your body, dissolving into the seat below you.
Remain in this state of contemplation, feeling that all imbalances in your life force energy,
strength and prosperity are cleared. From this state of contemplation recite the mantra Ah A Kar Sa Le
Od A Yang Om Du at least seven, twenty-one, or hundred and eight times for one session.
Finally, visualize that all the symbolic beings that you have created through your visualization
dissolve into space. All the wisdom beings expand into bright light and finally dissolve into your heart. Once
they have dissolved into you fully, imagine that you transform into a rainbow and dissolve into space.
Remain in this state of contemplation of the unification of clarity and emptiness without grasping, just
leaving everything as it is. Once you are ready, dedicate the merit of the practice to the benefit of all
beings.

. This is one of the last things I can do for him, so I want to make sure that I do it to the best of my ability.
) He has also said that highly evolved beings can split their souls/consciousness, and reincarnate in multiple beings at the same time (or even a million beings). Following this logic, Pan may have already been an enlightened soul that became a dog to help the most people possible. So its probable that part of the soul stayed in Heaven and other parts of it are in the trees, the mountains, and the stars.
