Transcript

Brief visualization.

Upon the basis of a comfortable posture,

Take a few deep breaths to settle and clear your mind.

Begin by reflecting on the reason that you're meditating.

Try to connect with a sense of distress,

And from the position of being out at sea,

Tossed about by the waves of confusion and endless dissatisfaction,

And now seek safe direction in the three jewels.

Go for refuge to the Buddha,

Your own enlightened potential.

Go for refuge to the Dharma,

Your ability to realize ultimate reality.

Go for refuge to the Sangha,

Those enlightened beings that surround you.

And when you imagine yourself coming out of the storm,

Finding shelter and safety in the harbor from the tempest,

Think for a moment of all the suffering beings that still remain out at sea,

And generate Bodhichitta,

The spirit of enlightenment.

Think that it's up to you to save them all,

And in order to really fulfill that wish,

That messianic intention,

You must go for full enlightenment.

You must reach your full potential.

And now reflect that in order to fulfill your wish and to reach your full potential,

You must call upon a mentor guide who has already achieved their goal.

So ask your mentor to come,

And imagine in the space before you a beautiful lotus unfolding its petals,

And revealing a beautiful luminous sun and moon disk that acts as a cushion upon which your mentor sits in full lotus position,

Radiant and resplendent,

Beautifully adorned,

Shimmering,

Glowing,

Gazing at you with love and care.

And now begin the seven-fold bonding process,

The inner therapy.

Admire the qualities of your mentor,

Think how nice it would be to be like them,

And make offerings and gestures of gratitude and appreciation.

And now,

Think about the seven-fold bonding process,

The inner therapy.

And now,

Think how nice it would be to be like them,

And make offerings and gestures of gratitude and appreciation.

Remember,

Your highest offering is the gift of your spiritual practice.

And now,

Confess or disclose freely any limits.

Feeling close to your mentor,

Now confess any real or imagined limits,

Blocks,

Insecurities.

Feel like it's safe enough to let go of any regret,

Remorse.

And now,

Feeling purified,

Allow yourself to rejoice in all your virtuous activities,

All your spiritual accomplishments,

All your good intentions.

Take some healthy pride in enjoying all your spiritual efforts.

Take a moment to enjoy all the spiritual activities of all other enlightened beings.

And here,

Remember,

The mentor looks at you and sees you at the end of your spiritual journey.

Fully awake and realized,

And rejoice in that vision.

Now,

Recognizing that it's but a vision of your future,

Ask your mentor for all the guidance and support you need to fulfill your potential.

Delighted to be asked,

Your mentor sends from his or her heart a beautiful wide light that gracefully comes and enters into your heart.

And there,

It dissolves any lingering fears or doubts,

And completely illuminates you in the light of your potential.

And there,

It dissolves any lingering fears or doubts,

And completely illuminates you like a flame does a lamp.

Filled with inspiration,

Your body begins to emanate with light.

The light fills the space around you and continues out into the ends of the universe.

And this light of hope and love touches all the hearts and minds of every living being,

Kindling within them their own enlightened potential.

And then that light emanates back to you in a wave of solidarity with all of life,

And then it gravitates back towards your heart,

Enters your heart,

And resonates with the non-dual wisdom bliss of interconnectivity.

And take a few moments to breathe deeply,

Connecting with that source of inspiration within you.

And now turn towards your mentor and ask for their continued presence in your life.

Delighted to be asked,

Imagine the mentor dissolves from the top of their head and the tips of their toes inwards towards the heart,

Melting into light until all that remains is a teardrop coalescing all their wisdom intuition.

And now imagine that teardrop gravitates towards the top of your crown and slips into your crown past your throat and into your heart,

Where it melts inseparably with your own inner intuition,

Your own inner guide.

You and the mentor are now one.

You and the mentor were never two.

And imagine all the wisdom intuition and love and compassion resonating at your heart.

You are now the mentor guide.

You are now the mentor guide.

Imagine sending forth from your body in a wave of positive energy for all of life a beautiful light that reaches to the ends of the universe.

And all living beings in their state of fear and confusion,

It kindles within them a sense of hope and upheaval.

That they themselves can become free and happy.

And for a moment all beings are connected in your light.

They look up into the sky and they see you beaming and radiating.

And you become the mentor guide,

The beacon of hope and optimism.

And now imagine all the positive energy ripples back from the ends of the earth and comes back into your heart center.

And now imagine all the positive energy ripples back from the ends of the earth and comes back into your heart center.

Recognizing this is just a vision,

Just a rehearsal for your inevitable future,

Make your final dedication to fully actualize,

To fully realize this vision of you becoming a mentor guide for all living beings.

And now make a mandala offering by imagining in the space before you all enlightened beings and offering them the sacred environment of your imagination,

All your positive virtue,

All of your joy and happiness,

And your non-dual wisdom of open potential and interconnectivity.

Then with your hands in prayer position at your heart,

Make a final prayer and request for blessings.

Beautiful guided meditation with visualization. Very powerful ! Namaste🙏

Concise & clear instructions: a great way to feel reinvigorated & reenergised in just a few minutes

Absolutely beautiful! ✨💕🙏🏽💕✨

I would consider editing the the description of the meditation. It may be more useful to say this is for those with some knowledge of the Buddhist traditions. Beginners, or those with no exposure to Buddhist teachings would get lost in some of the language. It has, however, given me what I'm looking for - a chance to deepen my own Buddhist practices. Thank you.

Extremely interesting. The difficulty is in picking somebody I would like to emulate... But may all beings be happy!

Wondrrful..thank you

Magnificent, love this, thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️

Peace, Love n Cheer!

Thank you for your guidance, powerful meditation❤🙏

Beautiful! Allows me to reach for, and connect with, my potential to become connected with all beings, and gives me a vision of myself as a beneficent being.

This was exquisitely beautiful- thank you so much🌸

I didn't have on my glasses when I started. I should have realized it was you. This was one of the most amazing meditations I have ever had. Thank you again and again!
