　　Some take the view according to the Vajrapanjara Tantra that, visualization cannot be in the form of the teacher, one must visualize the form of the Buddha or the Yidam. But Venerable Longchepa in Finding Comfort and Ease in the Illusoriness of the Great Perfection refuted: “This is not reasonable, because this is practicing Guru Yoga, not practicing Yidam Yoga. In the texts, it did not say that relying on the Yidam and one can be accomplished in six months. Rather, only maintaining the practice of Guru Yoga can one attain such Siddhi.” Therefore, one must visualize the form of the teacher.

　　There are also some who believe that it is enough to take refuge in the Three Jewels, that there is no need to maintain the practice of the Guru. This is also unreasonable. The teacher is the Buddha jewel, the Dharma jewel, and the Sangha jewel. The teacher”s body, speech, and mind are without duality or distinction from the Three Jewels. Therefore, one must visualize the teacher as the collective entity of the Three Jewels.

　　Thus visualize the teacher abiding in the boundless space ahead, with one mind and heart, chant the Guru Prayer:

　　From the holy sphere, the sacred five-peak-mountain

　　From the heart of Manjusri, the blessing matures the mind

　　To supplicate at the feet of Jigmed Phuntsok

　　From the realization through the mind lineage, grant your blessings transmit to me!

　　Ne chen ri wo tse ngei shing khem su

　　Jam hua thuk ji xin lap yi la men

　　Jik me phün tsok shap la söl wa dep

　　Gong jü tok pa pho war xin ji lop

　　This can be chanted for as long as one wishes, at least for three times, or seven times or twenty-one times.

　　After chanting according to one”s ability, the teacher is transformed into a bright element of five lights, merging into the mind from the crown of the head. Visualize that all the merits and virtues of the teacher”s continuation, including the compassion, loving kindness, wisdom, equipoise, dharani, and all the initiations and teachings have been wholly received by us. That our conceptual mind has become without dualism or distinction from the teacher”s wisdom. Abide for a while in this state of realization.

　　Finally, the lama becomes a bindu of five lights

　　The bindu dissolves from my head into the center of the heart

　　The wisdom of all Buddha embodied as the lama, and

　　I wish to attain the blessing of the same fortune

　　Thar ne la ma ö ngei thuk ler jur

　　Rang gi je wo ne shuk nying wü thim

　　Jal kün ye she cik dü la ma dang

　　Gel wa nyam pay chin lap thop bar sam

　　After leaving the state of concentration, start to dedicate the merits, visualize: “All the virtues from today”s practice of Guru Yoga, I dedicate to sentient beings in the three realms as they have all been my mother. May they attain soon the teacher”s stage of realization.”

　　For my every regeneration, never be separated from my excellent lama, and

　　To enjoy the glorious Dharma

　　To fulfill the attainments of stage and path

　　To obtain immediately the status of Vajradhara

　　Je wa kün tu yang thak la ma dang

　　Dral me chö ji hua la long jö jang

　　Sa dang lam je yon ten rap dzok ne

　　Do je chang gi go phang nyur thop shok

　　When encountering any material form, it should be visualized as the form of the teacher; upon hearing any sound, it should be visualized as the Vajra word of the teacher; any thoughts or intentions in the mind should be visualized as the wisdom of the teacher. From these, I believe that in the near future, you can all attain the stage of realization that is without duality or distinction from the teacher”s. This point is particularly important to disciples.
