LINGDRO DECHEN ROLMO – CHAPTER IV GATHERING THE BLESSINGS OF THE THREE KAYAS

LINGDRO DECHEN ROLMO – CHAPTER IV
GATHERING THE BLESSINGS OF THE THREE KAYAS

Chapter IV of Lingdro Dechen Rolmo is an additional section composed by Reting Rinpoche, invoking the blessings of the Three Kayas: Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, and Nirmanakaya.

If the previous chapters open the sacred dance through offering, invocation, and connection with the blessing stream of King Gesar, Chapter IV leads the practitioner more deeply into the Vajrayana ground of the dance. Here, body, speech, and mind are gathered into the mandala of sacred movement, where every gesture, sound, and thought becomes a means of invoking blessing.

In this chapter, the dance is not merely an outer movement of the body. It is the expression of the four enlightened activities. Speech is not merely song, but resounds as the inseparability of sound and emptiness. Mind does not grasp, but abides in the fearless confidence of the awakened warrior.

The Three Kayas are invoked as the ground, path, and complete blessing of awakening. Dharmakaya is the pure realm beyond conceptual elaboration. Sambhogakaya is the complete enjoyment body endowed with the five glorious splendors and nondual wisdom. Nirmanakaya is the enlightened activity that manifests for the benefit of beings.

Chapter IV also emphasizes the unity of method and wisdom, bliss and emptiness, wrathful display and non-grasping awareness. The body strikes the ground in the majestic stance of Vajra Dance, speech resounds with the syllable HUM throughout the ten directions, and mind abides in radiant power that subdues all obstacles.

This is a concise yet profound chapter, containing the essence of Vajrayana practice: when embraced by pure view, every expression of body, speech, and mind can become offering, blessing, and enlightened activity.

May all who hear, read, recite, or remember this chapter connect with the great blessings of the Three Kayas. May all obstacles be subdued, may all auspicious conditions increase, and may the experience of bliss and emptiness be sustained and nourished on the path of awakening.
