Sadhana of Samayavajra
Damtsig Dorje Depa
Damtsig Dorje Depa is the essence of the holy mind of all the infinite Victorious Ones. This practice is the secret treasure of ten
million stainless dakinis. This sublime and easily practicable yoga
comes from the root tantra of Guhyasamaja as explained by the
great Tsong Khapa.

May all sentient beings be free from suering and the causes
of suering.
SEM
May all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free from attachment for friends and hatred for enemies.
Visualization
Clearly visualize yourself as your deity yidam (mind seal). At your
heart is a variegated lotus and moon mandala. Above this is the syllable HA, which transforms into a sword having a handle adorned
with a HA inside. This transforms into the Vajra of Samaya (Damtsig
Dorje) having a green holy body with three faces green, black, and
white and six arms.
The first two hands, which are in the mudra of holding vajra and
bell, but without the implements, embrace the mother who is similar to the father. The other two right hands hold vajra and sword.
The two left hands hold a bell and lotus. Both are adorned with jewels. At their crowns is a syllable OM, throats a syllable AH, hearts a
syllable HUM.
From the HUM beams of light radiate forth and invoke the transcendental wisdom beings similar to the meditated ones from their natural abodes.

Praise
Vajra shows one who is a fully enlightened being,
who performs all actions completing all wishes,
who has arisen from the nature that is solely pure:
to you, the vajra being, I prostrate.

Mantra Recitation
At the heart of Samayavajra is a moon disc. Above that is a variegated
double vajra on which the eastern petal is white, the southern petal
yellow, the western petal red, and the northern petal green. In the
center stands a green syllable HA from which a fine stream of white
nectar flows. Around the HA is encircled the mantra:
OM AH PRAJA DHRIK HA HUM
Samayavajra
As you single-pointedly experience undeclining bliss, all degenerated samayas accumulated since beginningless time gush out from the
pores of your body in the form of liquid smog, coal, and dirty things.
These drop down through a great crack in the earth to the golden
base and below, where a karmic vision of a terrifying cannibal devours all the liquid smog as a substitution for your own life and that
of all sentient beings.
In order to make the purification perfect with the remedy of the
opponent powers, one of the most important things is to generate strong repentance during the recitation by contemplating
the four outlines of karma from the lam rim, based on examples
of karma such as the ten non-virtuous actions. Also go over the
three levels of vows pratimoksha, bodhisattva, and tantric vows
thinking how many and how seriously they have been degenerated and how even one vice increases with time like the number
of atoms of this earth. With the thought of loving kindness and
compassion, by looking at all extremely pitiable mother sentient
beings who have no protection, no refuge, no guide, and no Dharma, make a strong request to purify every negative opposite to
your samaya and vows. The mantra actually requests this.
Samayavajra
With this stable thought to abstain from the vices, now request:
Dedication
Due to this virtue may I and all sentient beings be guided by the
guru-yidam-deity. From now until enlightenment is achieved, may I
and others be protected in keeping every samaya of the guru-deity.
