Sadhana of Vasudhara
From these syllables rays of light shine forth and make offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which become useful for the benefit of all sentient beings. All the powers, blessings, and comion of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas manifest in the form of rays of light which absorb into the rosary of seed syllables. Then one recites the mantra, OM SHRI VASUNDHRI DHANAM KSHETRE SVAHA.
at least 108 times or as much as is possible. One should recite the mantra neither too fast nor too show, neither too loud nor too soft, clearly, and without mistakes.
A Sakya Golden Dharma
Refuge and Bodhichitta I In the Preceptor and three precious gems I bow down and take refuge; Please bestow your blessings upon my mind. For the sake of all living beings I must attain Perfect Enlightenment, and so I practice this sadhana of Vasudhara. (3x)
Invocation
Requesting Prayer & Dissolution At the end, I make the request, with palms pressed together at the heart Please bestow all the common and supreme siddhis (powers) To all sentient beings and to myself. Thus I request my goal. From my heart, light shines forth and reflects from the moon cushion upon which I sit. This causes the cushion to absorb into myself.
Instantly Instantaneously one appears as the Goddess Vasudhara. In my heart on top of the lotus seat with a moon-cushion appears the the golden syllable BAM. From the golden BAM rays of light shine forth, invoking in front of me the Goddess Vasudhara, surrounded by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The say: OM VAJRA SAMADZAH (vith vajra invoking gesture)
Upon emerging from meditation on that state, visualize the syllable OM upon your forehead, AH at your throat, and HUM at your heart.
Offerings
Then one concludes by sharing merits, reciting:
Make the sense offerings with:
Dedication By the virtue of this May I and all sentient beings Accomplish the state of the dakini. Without leaving a single sentient being behind May I be able to liberate them To the state of the dakini.

I rejoice in the virtues of living beings And keep in my heart remembrance of the Buddha’s enlightenment.

Awakening thus this aspiration to supreme liberation, I invite all beings also to share in my spiritual career. May I accomplish all the wondrous deeds Of a Bodhisattva and win enlightenment for their sake.

I sit cross-legged, surrounded by my friends and relatives, such as Dzambhala (Pei Chemo). On my forehead is the white syllable OM. At my throat is the red syllable AH. At my heart is the blue syllable HUM. From the seedsyllable BAM in Vasudhara’s heart light rays shine forth to invoke from space the Goddess Vasudhara surrounded by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and all the other wealth deities of the ten directions. With the recitation, OM VAJRA SAMADZAH DZA HUM BAM HOH all these deities absorb into myself.

Again from the seed syllable, light rays are extended and invoke the five initiating Dhyani Buddhas. Then one recites, OM VAJRA SAMADZAH

Then, the initiation is requested from them saying: Please bestow the empowerment on me.
All of your own skandhas (elements of your being) and sense organs become void..
Then the tathagathas say:
From the void appears the syllable BAM which transforms into a multicolored lotus flower. On top of this appears the syllable AH which transform into a moon cushion on which I appear as the yellow syllable BAM. From this yellow letter BAM, rays of light are manifested which make offerings to all the Noble Ones to alleviate the poverty of all sentient beings.
Having thus said, they pour water from a vessel on top of your head. The water goes through my body purifying my bodily defilements. It fills up my body to the top of my head. Then on top of my head appears the Nirmanakaya form of Ratnasambhava.
The light then reabsorbs into myself and I become the Goddess Vasudhara. The color of my body is yellow andI have one face and two hands. My right hand, which rests on my right knee, is in the ‘supreme giving’ mudra. My left hand is on my lap, holding a treasure vase with stalks of grain in it. This vase is able to pour forth a 4

Maintain this visualization as clearly as possible for as long as possible. Then, if one tires, recite the mantra as follows:
Mantra Recitation I visualize on the moon cushion in my heart, the yellow syllable BAM, surrounded by a garland of the mantra syllables, OM SHRI VASUNDHRI DHANAM KSHETRE SVAHA.
