Love Over Hate

Kurukulla, a Highest Yoga Dakini of the Lotus Family, embodies all of the virtues of Amitabha, Chenrezig and Hayagriva. She shares the same seed syllable HRI, the seed syllable of Amitabha and Hayagriva because she is of the same essence at the ultimate level.

As with all Lotus family, her mission is compassion. As a Dakini, she embodies “wisdom.” The two together, as Kurukulla, represent the Enlightened union of Wisdom and Compassion. On a more “mundane” level, she represents the power of love, attraction, youth and magic, subjugation, but, again, for a virtuous purpose. In principle, the same concept (although less mundane) as a celebrity using their beautiful persona to raise awareness of the charity and to attract money and goodwill to the cause — except, more magical, and directed at only Enlightened causes. In the same way that Audrey Hepburn used her presence as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF or Angelina Jolie who became United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (whatever you think of her, a legend in charity work), or other big names in charity, such as Oprah, Elizabeth Taylor, and J.Lo (Lopez Family Foundation) — Kurukulla uses her exotic beauty and enchanting magic to attract.

Good morning yesterday night I didn’t sleep because I am missing my two sons, today had walk in forest and did stuff that I didn’t do for seven years read a book.

We living in this time were hate is heavily promote from news to leaders to even everyday life. But the truth is if we look at the nature around us plant or river and so on. Even is the tree get bird nest worm of whatever else we will never see a tree fighting them. In contrary nature is living and abundant.

When we talk about practice kurukulle practice is base on love and the five wisdom’s, knowing this when we practice we must let go of grasping like I suffer or I want this, instead focus on boddhicitta may this love free all beings from the cause of suffering.

Kurukulle remind us that love is more powerful than any negative emotion and also deeply strong on transforming negativity.

༄༅། །རིགས་བྱེད་མའི་སྒྲུབ་ཐབས།

A Sādhana of Kurukullā

by Mipham Rinpoche

སྟོང་པའི་ངང་ལས་པད་ཉི་རོ་གདན་སྟེང་། །

tongpé ngang lé pé nyi roden teng

Out of the state of emptiness, upon lotus, sun and corpse,

ཧྲཱིཿལས་རིགས་བྱེད་དབང་མོ་སྐུ་མདོག་དམར། །

hrih lé rikjé wangmo kudok mar

A syllable Hrīḥ transforms into Kurukullā, red in colour,

ཞལ་གཅིག་ཕྱག་བཞི་ཡིད་འཕྲོག་གཞོན་འཛུམ་ཁྲོ། །

shyal chik chak shyi yitrok shyön dzum tro

With one face, four arms, enchanting youthfulness and wrathful smile,

དང་པོའི་ཕྱག་གཉིས་ཨུཏྤལ་མདའ་གཞུ་འགེངས། །

dangpö chak nyi utpal dashyu geng

Her first two hands draw a bow and arrow of utpala flowers,

ཐ་མའི་ཕྱག་གཉིས་ལྕགས་ཀྱུ་ཞགས་པ་བསྣམས། །

tamé chak nyi chakkyu shyakpa nam

And the final two hold a hook and lasso.

སྤྱན་གསུམ་དམར་ཟླུམ་དབུ་སྐྲ་དམར་སེར་བརྫེས། །

chen sum mar dum utra marser dzé

She has three round red eyes and streaming orange hair adorned with five dry skulls,

ཐོད་སྐམ་ལྔས་བརྒྱན་ཐོད་རློན་དོ་ཤལ་འཕྱང་། །

tökam ngé gyen tö lön doshal chang

And she wears a garland of freshly severed heads,

རུས་པའི་རྒྱན་དང་དར་དཔྱངས་སྟག་ཤམས་སྤྲས། །

rüpé gyen dang dar chang tak sham tré

Bone ornaments, silk scarf and a skirt of tiger skin.

བརྐྱང་བསྐུམ་གར་སྟབས་ཉི་མའི་རྒྱབ་ཡོལ་ཅན། །

kyangkum gartab nyimé gyab yolchen

With one leg stretched and the other bent, she is in dancing pose with a sun behind

འོད་དམར་ཀློང་བཞུགས་སྲིད་ཞིའི་དྭངས་བཅུད་འགུགས། །

ö mar long shyuk sishyi dangchü guk

And in an expanse of red light, summoning the vital essence of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa.

གནས་གསུམ་ཡི་གེས་ཡེ་ཤེས་སྤྱན་དྲངས་བསྟིམ། །

né sum yigé yeshe chendrang tim

The wisdom deity is invited through the syllables at her three centres, then dissolves.

རིགས་ལྔས་དབང་བསྐུར་སྣང་མཐས་དབུར་བརྒྱན་པའི། །

rik ngé wangkur nang té ur gyenpé

The five families confer empowerment, with Amitābha as the crown ornament.

ཐུགས་དབུས་ཉི་སྟེང་ཧྲཱིཿལ་སྔགས་ཀྱིས་བསྐོར། །

tuk ü nyi teng hrih la ngak kyi kor

In the centre of her heart, upon a sun disc is a syllable Hrīḥ surrounded by the mantra,

འོད་འཕྲོས་སྲིད་ཞིའི་ཕུན་ཚོགས་དབང་བསྡུས་གྱུར། །

ö trö sishyi püntsok wangdü gyur

From which light radiates out, magnetizing all that is excellent in saṃsāra and nirvāṇa.

ཨོཾ་ཀུ་རུ་ཀུལླེ་ཧྲཱིཿསྭཱ་ཧཱ།

om kurukullé hrih soha

oṃ kurukulle hrīḥ svāhā

གང་ཞིག་དྲན་དང་བཟླས་པ་ཙམ་གྱིས་ཀྱང་། །འཇིག་རྟེན་གསུམ་པོ་དབང་དུ་བྱེད་པའོ། །

Anyone who merely thinks and recites in this way will gain control of the Three Realms.
