Before every meditation session, we must first recite the Supplication for the Blessing of Living Buddha Lian-sheng [from the True Buddha Sutra], and then visualize the human guru and all lineage holders transforming into light drops that enter our body. Afterwards, we need to recite the verses for the blessing of Mahamudra. Next, we may begin to practice. The various practices must be completed in gradual stages. However, we can be flexible in the arrangement of practices. Some may begin with Guru Yoga and follow with Ekagrata Yoga [One-pointedness Meditation], and continue with the ignition of psychic heat practice and so forth. Others who have more time at their disposal may perform all three practices in a single meditation session. You can choose whatever practices and arrangement you wish, but we must still regard the Guru Yoga as the most important.
The practitioner should view his guru as being indivisible from the buddha. When invoking the presence of the Padmakumara Vajra Guru, Master Practitioner of the Secret Teachings, one must say the following three recitations:
Homage to the constantly abiding dharmakaya, the thusness of the three times, the Maha Twin Lotus Ponds, the White-robed Chief Deity Padmakumara.
Homage to the pure sambhogakaya, the thusness of space, the one with perfect radiant features, the White-robed Chief Deity Padmakumara.
Homage to the transforming nirmanakaya, the Infinite Wonderful Dharma, the Holy Red Crown Vajra Guru Padmakumara.
A disciple who cultivated Guru Yoga suddenly saw the guru arriving on a cloud during his meditation. The guru held a white lotus in his hand and descended gradually, passing the lotus to the disciple, who was in meditative absorption. Then he disappeared immediately.
