Why practice Guru Yoga?
为何要修上师相应法？
Prerequisites for Mahamudra practice are:
1. Authorization and ability, to be conferred by a qualified guru
2. Closer relationship with the guru and symbolic admission to his
lineage

修大手印的先决条件：
１）需要上师的受权和能力，只有本身已得传承的具德上师
　　才有资格授予。
２）与上师之间建立比较密切的关系和象征性的获得允许进入他的传承。
　　
Why practice Guru Yoga?
为何要修上师相应法？
These two prerequisites comprise the “blessing” promised to one who
practices the Guru Yoga
Without the guru's blessing, one will not be on the true path
A disciple intensely devoted and reverent toward a fully qualified Vajrayana
master will achieve siddhi by this alone
这两种先决条件包含了修持上师相应法时所必定能获得的加持力。
缺少了上师的加持，是不会走上真道的。
弟子若能以热切的忠心和恭敬心对待具足资格的金刚乘上师，
　仅仅只依靠这点便可获得悉地（成就）。
The Guru and Disciple Relationship
　
上师与弟子的关系
Choosing a guru or disciple should be done with
care
Avoid the following defects:
− lacking compassion, impatient, malicious, spiteful,
proud, attached to worldly matters, undisciplined or
boastful
　在选择上师或弟子时应当要小心谨慎
　避开有下列的缺点的上师或弟子：
　缺少慈悲心，没耐性，心地不良，恶毒，
　傲慢，眷恋世间法，言行放荡或自我吹嘘者
The Guru and Disciple Relationship
上师与弟子的关系
After you have received any instructions from
the guru you should only treat him with devotion
/ reverence
If there is no devotion/ reverence, there will be
no blessings received from the guru
一旦你开始接受了你的上师的任何指导，你就只能
　以忠心和恭敬心来对待他。
如果缺少了忠心和恭敬心，你将不会获得上师的任
　何加持。
The Guru and Disciple Relationship
上师与弟子的关系
The amount of blessings received corresponds to
the amount of devotion/ reverence one has
towards the guru
One who disrespects the guru will have very bad
karma
你对上师的忠心与恭敬心有多少，所获得的加持
　力就相应的有多少。
一个不尊敬上师的人，他所造的恶业是很严重的。
4 Important Thoughts 　
四种重要思维法
1. Resolve that anyone who has given you
empowerments, transmissions, instructions etc.
is a Buddha
　要把给予你灌顶，口传及开示的任何人当成是佛。

2. Only your guru can show you the way to achieve

Buddhahood in one lifetime. You cannot repay your
guru's kindness
　只有你的上师才能教导你如何在此生即身圆满佛
果。你无以回报他的恩德！
4 Important Thoughts
四种重要思维法
3. Think continuously about nothing but the guru
　一心一意 , 不想别的唯有不间断的忆念上师

4. Develop the force of great yearning for the

guru
　对上师生起强烈的思慕之心
The Guru as Buddha
上师即是佛
The practitioner visualizes the guru as Buddha Vajradhara and
receives 4 Empowerments from him/ her
The practitioner should have unshakeable conviction that his
guru is really Buddha
The practice of Guru Yoga incorporates techniques for
generating that conviction
 行者观上师为金刚总持佛，然后再从上师处接受四种灌顶。
 行者必须有不动摇的信心，坚信他的上师真正就是佛。
 上师相应法具备了培养此信心的技巧。


Recite the mantra to purify all to emptiness:
− Om Swabhawa Shuddo Sarwa Dharma Swabhawa
Shuddho Hang

Out of emptiness, imagine yourself as Vajravarahi

念诵咒语一切净化成空
− 嗡刷 巴瓦 素多萨 尔 瓦达 尔 马刷 巴瓦素 多杭

於空中，自身化现为金刚亥母
Vajravarahi (Dorje Phamo)
金刚亥母（多杰帕嫫）
Vajravarahi is the mother who begat all Buddhas
, she is essentially Mahamudra
She was the secret yidam of Lords Marpa, Mila
and Gampopa
金刚亥母乃是诸佛之母，能生诸佛，其本质即为
　大手印。
她是玛尔巴，密勒日巴和甘波巴祖师的秘密本尊。
Yourself as Vajravarahi 　
自身为金刚亥母
Without complete purification of obscurations,
performing Guru-Yoga as your ordinary self will
not generate any blessings
Performing Guru-Yoga as Vajravarahi will
facilitate quick and easy receipt of blessings

若在还未完全清净业障之前，以自身的凡夫身来修
持上师相应法，将不能带来任何的加持。
• 然而，透过金刚亥母修持上师瑜伽却能够快速的获
得加持

of all Buddhas of 3 times

On the head of the root-guru, the Kagyudpa gurus sit in a column
extending up to Vajradhara himself
