A Commentary on “Blessing the Speech According to the Instructions of Great Yogi Khyungpo”
Absorption of the Mantras
The Heart Mantra of Dependent Relation absorbs into the consonants, the consonants into the vowels, the vowels into the syllable OṂ (ༀ), and the OṂ into the moon cushion. That transforms into a syllable ĀḤ (ཨཱཿ). The ĀḤ melts into pink nectar and absorbs into my tongue, which becomes of the nature of a vajra.
* Your tongue becomes very heavy and strong, as if difficult to move, and as indestructible as a vajra. Generate very strong faith that all the blessings and power of the speech of all the buddhas, bodhisattvas, arhats, yogis, and sages have entered your speech and made it perfect. Think: “My speech has become perfect.”
When you have finished reciting the three mantras, visualize that the outer mantras gradually absorb into the inner ones. First visualize that the Heart Mantra of Dependent Relation absorbs into the consonants. Then the consonants absorb into the vowels. Then the vowels absorb into the syllable OṂ in the center of the moon disk. The OṂ absorbs into the moon disk. The moon disk transforms into a syllable ĀḤ, which is what it originally came from. Here you should visualize a Tibetan letter ĀḤ like this, ཨཱཿ, with a small A, འ, and the two dots, ཿ. The ཨཱཿ melts into pink nectar, which absorbs into your tongue. Your tongue becomes the nature of a vajra, indestructible. Eating black foods can no longer destroy the power of your speech. Think that your tongue becomes solid, like iron or a rock, as well as very strong and very heavy, almost as if you cannot move it. Generate very strong faith that the blessings and power of speech of all the buddhas, bodhisattvas, arhats, yogis, and sages have entered your speech and made it perfect. Think: “My speech has become perfect.”
