If you’ve received the initiation of Trakpo Sumtril or if you want to practice without the initiation, here’s an animated meditation guide to help you in your visualisation. The visualisations are based on the traditional sadhana and meditations taught by Ven. Chojila, who bestowed the initiation in Kechara in 2023.
When reciting any mantra, the simplest way to focus your mind is to meditate on the sound of the mantra. However, there are greater benefits if you engage in proper visualisation during your practice. Why? By doing this, your body, speech and mind are fully engaged in the purification of karma and accumulation of merit.
Your body is in meditation posture, you're using your speech to recite blessed mantras, and your mind is meditating on the deity. Therefore your meditation creates merit which propels your mind to higher levels.
How does this work? It is on the basis of merit that we purify negative karma, gain higher thoughts and higher realisations, and attain enlightenment. So when you recite mantras combined with meditation on an enlightened being, it propels your mind into a higher state of awareness and it creates a great amount of merit.
Furthermore, reciting a certain mantra invokes on the aspect of enlightenment that the particular mantra represents. So when you engage in Trakpo Sumtril’s healing and protective practice it helps to:
⚡ Increase lifespan
⚡ Help with illnesses such as cancer, heart disease & epilepsy
⚡ Protect from harm, obstacles, evil spirits
⚡ Overcome diseases caused by nagas and land deities
⚡ Quell epidemic plagues
⚡ Purify places afflicted by supernatural interferences
⚡ Bless unstable minds caused by old age or infirmities
⚡ Build self-confidence
⚡ Stabilise Dharma practice
Trakpo Sumtril can help us in so many ways because his practice combines three wrathful deities into one:
💪 𝙑𝙖𝙟𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙞 represents the power of the Buddhas
💛 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙖 represents their compassion
🌕 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙪𝙙𝙖 represents their wisdom
