And now revive your image of being in dialogue with your mentor,
Them staring back at you with love and joy,
Delighted with all your efforts.
Request now that they remain with you always.
Being ever present and ever available and delighted to be asked,
Imagine your mentor begins to dissolve into light,
Melting from the tip of their toes and the tops of their heads,
Inwards towards their heart,
Dissolving into open potential,
Into luminous light.
And then this light shrinks down to the size of a teardrop,
Like a teardrop for joy,
Coalescing all their wisdom and compassion.
And that teardrop gravitates towards your crown and slips past your crown,
Throat,
And into your heart,
Where it dissolves inseparably with your own inner essence,
Your own inner mentor,
So that the mentor in you become one.
And think now that there were really never two,
That the mentor has always been just a reflection of your own Buddha nature,
Your own essential goodness projected outwards onto the blank screen of reality.
And now feeling the wisdom of interconnectivity resonating at your heart and falling in love with all the universe.
Imagine yourself becoming luminous and radiating light to the ends of the world.
And with your goodness,
You imagine transforming the entire universe into a healing paradise.
And just pause momentarily with that vision of you at the center of a world,
Happy and free.
And then imagine that healing energy ripples back towards you in a tsunami of love and coalesces at your heart.
And now the entire world is within you,
Resonating and humming.
You are the world and the world is you.
There is no difference.
There is no separation.
And let that resonate like the sound of OM.
And now make your final dedication to fully actualize this vision,
To fully accomplish your aim,
To bring every living being to the state of freedom and happiness,
To dissolve every single boundary of separation,
To end every single moment of anger and hatred,
And to reinstate all living beings into the experience of love.
And now dissolve your world picture,
Your mandala,
Your healing paradise back into luminosity,
Into open potential.
And likewise with your body made of breath and energy,
Let it dissolve back into luminosity,
Back into open potential.
And then re-arise back into your ordinary body of flesh and blood and let the ordinary world reappear to you,
But this time with the hope and optimism resonating at your heart.
And now place your hands in the gesture of a mandala offering or simply fold them in your lap.
Imagine all the enlightened beings are watching over you,
Delighted in your efforts,
Rejoicing in your merits and virtue,
Overjoyed with your accomplishments and vision.
Make a final gesture of offering to them all,
Giving away the fruits of all your virtuous activities,
Giving away all your bliss and happiness,
Finally giving away your wisdom of open potential,
The insight that sees interconnectivity with all living beings,
The insight that sees that anything is possible.
Idamguru Ratnamandala Kamniriya Tayame And then make a final request for blessings,
That all your wishes and dreams may spontaneously be fulfilled.
Collar belt Thank you to all of you present and present.
