Tashi Delek!

All deities are subsumed within the syllable hūm̆̇. Thus, in this practice, we only visual- ize hūm̆̇. Likewise, all mantras are subsumed within hūm̆̇. Just as the Karma Kagyü and various other lineages practice hūm̆̇, the Tsewang Dzinpa practice is a practice of hūm̆̇. As the name implies, Tsewang Dzinpa is a long-life practice and a practice that brings under control. What does ‘bringing under control’ mean? All external appearances are transformed into emptiness; they lack any concrete existence. For example, if your thoughts are brought under control, then whatever +affliction+ arises will natural- ly disintegrate and transform into hūm̆̇. If your thoughts are not brought under control, and you get angry, you will fight with others. This is how you should understand the word ‘bringing under control.’

For example, the Vajrakīlaya mantra ‘sarva bighnān baṃ hūm̆̇ phaṭ’ means ‘bring all thoughts under control.’ Thoughts and hindrances are one and the same. All harm and outer obstacles are caused by karma accumulated with +afflictions+, which are created by our thoughts. When you meditate on hūm̆̇, all thoughts are shattered. Thus, the heart-essence of all deities and mantras is the syllable hūm̆̇. In the Drikung Kagyü lineage, in Rinchen Phüntsok’s Hūm̆̇ Practice of the +Belligerent Guru+, everything transforms into red hūm̆̇, so that everywhere there are only hūm̆̇. I always tell you to meditate on hūm̆̇.

The heart-essence of the Tsewang Dzinpa practice is to simply meditate on hūm̆̇. The three hūm̆̇’s ‘hūm̆̇ hūm̆̇ hūm̆̇’ are enlightened body, speech, and mind. All there is hūm̆̇. It is the ultimate visualization, combined with a ritual text. So it is has a great connection to the ultimate truth. This practice and the Vajrakīlaya practice are of single essence. In brief, the single essential point of the Tsewang Dzinpa practice is hūm̆̇, is to meditate only on hūm̆̇. The rest of the +mean of accomplishment+ has a great connection to Vajrakīlaya’s secret prac- tice. Tsewang Dzinpa is a secret practice. ‘Secret’ refers to the ultimate truth—the great secret. The secret mantra is the ultimate secret. There is no duality. It is said: “All dualis- tic phenomena unite within non-duality.” Non-duality is +timeless awareness (Consciencia Primordial)+; duality is consciousness. Consciousness gathers into +timeless awareness (Consciencia Primordial)+; it gathers into the sylla- ble hūm̆̇.

I usually practice hūm̆̇ a lot. If you are already familiar with the hūm̆̇ practice, you will be able to relate to this +mean of accomplishment+. There is nothing new here; it is a hūm̆̇ practice. You do not have to practice or visualize Tsewang Dzinpa in order to listen to these teachings. The meaning of this practice and Vajrakīlaya is the same. We have to gather everything into a single meaning. Thus, it is not a ‘brand new’ practice. I have always taught you about hūm̆̇. What is the meaning of Tsewang Dzinpa? It is hūm̆̇, a red hūm̆̇.
