2EFUGEAND"ODHICHITTA
In the most holy Guru who is the quintessence of the qualities and deeds of
the body, voice and mind of all the Tathagatas abiding in the ten directions
and three times, the source of the eighty-four thousand articles of the Doc-
trine and Master of the Noble Assemblies and all living beings, equal to the
bounds of space, from this time forth until the essence of Enlightenment is
reached steadfastly take refuge in that venerable Root Guru and in the Holy
Masters of the lineage; take refuge in the blessed Accomplished Buddhas;
take refuge in the Holy Teachings; take refuge in the Noble Assemblies.
(Thus recite as many times as possible and then with folded hands say.)
In the Guru and Three Precious Gems I bow down and take refuge; may you
bless me in all my lifetimes.
(Imagine that the objects of refuge dissolve into light which is absorbed into your-
self.)
For the sake of all living beings I must attain to the stage of a Perfectly
Enlightened One; for that purpose, I am practicing the Kurukulle Sadhana.
(Recite three times.)
/FFERINGS
I instantly manifest as Kuiukulle. In my heait fiom the lette RAM aiises a sun
oisc. On top of this is the ieo lettei HRIH: Fiom it light iays issue, invoking the
Goooess Kuiukulle with the Guiu in the foim of Amitabha aooining the heao of
the Goooess.

3EVEN,IMB0RAYER
In the Triple Gem I take refuge, and confess individually all sins. I rejoice
in the virtuous deeds of all beings, and keep in mind the Enlightenment of
the Buddhas. In Buddha, Dharma and the Excellent Assembly I take refuge
until Enlightenment is reached. In order to accomplish my own and others'
aims, I produce the Enlightenment Thought, I invite all beings. I practice
the pleasing and excellent conduct of the Enlightened and dedicate this
merit that all beings may achieve Enlightenment.
(Recite three times.)

On the sun in one's heait the lettei HRIH is suiiounoeo by the mantia iosaiy,

$EDICATION
BHAGAVATI, may you bestow on me and all sentient beings all the common
and excellent siddhis. From one's heart light comes forth - the lotus and
sundisc dissolve into light and absorb into oneself.
During all life times, may I not be separated from the perfect Lama, and
may I enjoy the glory of Dharma. Having completed the stages, path and
wisdom, may I quickly attain the stage of Kurukulle.
