Your grace and blessing are beyond human apprehension.

Without any closefistedness, you grant us the Siddhis.

From the great place full of wonder,

With an unlimited compassion you come down here.

I pray thee with my utmost sincerity and yearning

Grant me your grace and blessing!

Pray thee, embrace me in your care under your boundless compassion!

Pray look after me and bestow on me the Siddhis.

Come here, thou gracious one!

Safeguard me, you compassionate one!

Oh, father Guru himself is the All-Merciful One!

To whom I pray with one single thought (concentrated attention).

May all the wishes of ours be granted!

Om Ah Hum S'ri Svaha! Om Mani Padme Hum! Be Tsa Ah Bi Sha Ya Ah Ah!"

(Play musical instruments; then place the Vajra on the

head. Visualize the Wisdom Buddha becoming steady.)

Di Tsha Be Tsa!

(Hold the vase in hand and read the following words.)

Hum! the Beyond-Measure Palace

Where the All-Merciful One and his retinue abide,

Whereby the Four Initiations of Vase I wish to attain.

(Place the symbol on disciple's head.)

Om Mani Be Mi Hum Ga La Shu Kura Sar Jia, Tsa Tu Ah Bi Di Tsa Hum!

(Give the water in the Vase to disciples and let them drink it. Then hold the Gtor-ma in hand and read as follows.)

Hum! This Gtor-ma itself is the embodiment of Avalokiteshvara.

His myriad retinues are also contained within it.

To you my disciples, the Four Initiations of Avalokiteshvara

Are now completely being given!

I pray Buddha Amida, the Dharmakaya,

I pray Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the Sambhogakaya,

I pray the teacher Padmasambhava, the Nirmanakaya,

I pray the Dakini and the Victorious Ocean Wisdom,

Ye-shes-mtsho-rgyal,

I pray the twenty-eight followers and one-hundred-and-one Treasure Finders,

I pray all accomplished Illumination Holders[r_3:20].

Pray the All-Merciful One, Lord of , One with the Eyes of Compassion,

Mighty being! Also pray all the accompanying holy beings to bless this disciple of Diamond Vehicle, and grant them the Initiation!

Pray to cleanse the Hindrance of Passion, Hindrance of Knowledge[r_3:21], and all Habitual Thinking for them forever!

Pray forever close the gate of Sanmara and Lower Path for them!

Pray bestow your gracious blessing to them and deliver them to the West Pure Land at the moment of their departure!

Om Mani Padme Hum! Gaya Waga Tsida Sarva Ahbi Aitsi Hum!

(Recite this incantation three times. Hold the image in hand and read.)

Hum! Pray the All-Merciful One and his accompanied Deities,

Grant you, the disciples, the complete Four Initiations.

(Place the image on the disciple's head.)

Om Mani Padme Hum Gaya Ah Bi Ai Tsa Hum!
