The Power of Guru Yoga - Brief Introduction

The Power of Guru Yoga

Guru Yoga is the heartbeat of Vajrayana practice, a profound path to realizing our own Buddha-nature through devotion, connection, and inner transformation.

What is Guru Yoga?

Guru Yoga (Tib. Lamé Nédro) means "union with the guru." It’s about merging your mind with the enlightened mind of your teacher – a bridge to the wisdom lineage.

How to Practice Guru Yoga

• Visualize the Guru: Picture your guru (or a Buddha) above your head, radiating light.
• Invoke Blessings: Focus on their wisdom, compassion, and power.
• Mind-Merging: Feel their qualities dissolving into you, transforming your perception. 
  
  
  

Example Practice:

"I visualize Padmasambhava above me, surrounded by light. I pray: 'Guru, grant your blessings so my mind may realize clarity and compassion.' I breathe in their energy, letting it fill me."

Why It Works 

Guru Yoga dismantles ego barriers, accelerates insight, and deepens devotion. It’s a shortcut to seeing your own Buddha-nature.

Conclusion

Guru Yoga isn’t about worship – it’s about unlocking your inner potential. As you practice, the guru’s wisdom becomes yours.

Aspiration for Bodhichitta

May the precious Bodhichitta, which has not yet arisen, arise and not diminish, but rather increase further and further.

Dedication of Merit

By this merit, may we swiftly attain omniscience. Having overcome the enemies of wrongdoing, may we liberate all beings from the ocean of existence, with its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness, and death.
