stūpa-vidhi-nāma

Stupa ritual

     I prostrate before Hevajra!
     If a Hevajra yogi makes a stupa for the sake of himself and others, he should first make clay of jewels, fragrant water, etc. on the ground. When you have done so, put it in front of you. When you appear clearly [in visualization] as your own exalted deity, meditate on the four measureless ones.
     Then [recite] the mantra of perfect purity, the supreme reality-dharmata:
     oṁ svabhāva śuddha sarva dharmā svabhāva śuddho haṁ
     Meditate that by doing this the clay becomes invisible. When you do so, visualize Hevajra in union, [manifested] from the three rituals.
    Then by rays of light from the syllable hūṁ or hrīḥ in the heart, the boundless Enlightened Ones and bodhisattvas are grasped and dissolved in light in the abiding father and mother of Hevajra. From what has appeared as the enlightened mind-set, [arises] blessing through the twenty-one Hevajra hearts:
     oṁ deva picu vajra hūṁ hūṁ hūṁ phaṭ svāhā
     Or:
     oṁ āḥ hrī hūṁ
     And mark with this mantra [with the breath].
     When you also visualize each of the stupas as Hevajra, then do also for each of them the emanation of many Hevajras and the gathering. Visualize that on the basis of this the goals of yourself and others become complete.
     Then perform the blessing with the heart of interdependence and realize the completion [of the prayers of benediction].
     This is how the stupa ritual composed by the great acharya Krishnapada is completed.
     It was heard from the great grammar expert Jin Karnapada. Shakya monk and translator Nyima Gyaltshen Pal Zangpo translated in the great temple of Pal Tharpa Ling.
