Homage to the Blessed Invincible Uṣṇīṣa Queen!1 Thus I have heard: At one time the Blessed One was dwelling in the Excellent Dharma Assembly Hall2 in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, together with a great assembly of monks, a great assembly of bodhisattvas, and Indra, the lord of the gods. As soon as the Blessed One sat down upon a seat arranged for him, he entered the samādhi called, “Seeing the Uṣṇīṣa in its True Aspect.” As soon as he entered this samādhi, the words of this mantra formula took birth from the center of the Blessed One’s uṣṇīṣa: Homage to the Buddha. Homage to the Dharma. Homage to the Sangha. Homage to the seventy million complete and perfect buddhas. Homage to the saṅgha of bodhisattvas and the saṅgha of śrāvakas.

This goddess annihilates all evil bhūtas; breaks all opposing spells; averts all forms of untimely death; frees from all that slays or binds beings; averts all malice, nightmares, and bad omens; dispels evil influences of yakṣas and rākṣasas; destroys the 84,000 types of grahas;12 renders the twenty-eight lunar mansions favourable; subdues the evil influences of the eight great planets;13 repels all enemies; destroys all fierce acts, hostilities and nightmares; repels poisons, weapons, fire, and water; and liberates from the fearful lower realms.

I suppress their spells! I suppress their energy! I suppress all other spells! I suppress all bonds! tadyathā | oṃ anale anale | khasame khasame | vīre vīre | saumye saumye | śānte śānte | dānte dānte | viṣade viṣade | vaire vaire | devi vajradhari | bandha bandhani | vajrapāṇi phaṭ | oṃ hūṃ drūṃ hrīḥ ṣṭoṃ phaṭ svāhā | oṃ vajrapāṇi bandha bandha vajrapāśena sarva-duṣṭa-vighnān-vinyāyakān hūṃ hūṃ phaṭ phaṭ svāhā || This is the quintessence mantra. Whoever writes this Queen of Spells, Sitātapatrā Born from the Uṣṇīṣa of All Thus-gone Ones, Great Invincible Dispeller, on birch bark, cloth, or tree bark and wears it on their body or around their neck, or reads it, that person will not be harmed by toxins, weapons, fire, water, metal poisoning, poison, or sorcery for as long as they live. They will never meet an untimely death. They will become dear to all grahas, obstructors, and false guides. The eighty-four billion vidyā-goddesses of the vajra family will always guard, protect, and defend them. They will become dear to these goddesses. They will recall their rebirths of the past eighty-four thousand great eons. The sixty-four dūtī goddesses will always completely defend them. They will never take birth as yakṣas, rākṣasas, pretas, piśācas, pūtanas, or kaṭapūtanas. They will never be poor. They will gain heaps of merit equal to the blessed buddhas who are innumerable like the grains of sand in the river Ganges. The blessed buddhas and bodhisattvas, innumerable as the grains of sand in the river Ganges, will always guard, protect, and defend them. They will become the children of the buddhas and bodhisattvas. Whoever bears this Queen of Vidyā-mantras, Great Dispeller of Invincible Might, called ‘Sitātapatrā Born from the Uṣṇīṣa of All Tathāgatas,’ will become chaste, even if they not celibate. Those who are not ascetics will be ascetics. Though impure, they will become pure. Though they neglect fasting, they will start to observe the fast. Even for those who they have committed the five crimes with immediate retribution, their crimes will be purified. All their obscurations resulting from their past actions will be exhausted without exception. If my noble sons or daughters wish to have children and bear or recite this Queen of Vidyā-mantras, Sitātapatrā Born from the Uṣṇīṣa of All Tathāgatas, Great Dispeller, they will produce an heir. Furthermore, their lifespan, merit, and strength will increase. After they have passed away, they will take birth in the blissful realm of Sukhāvatī. Whoever is threatened by diseases that affect humans or animals, by epidemics, violence, harm, infectious diseases, any kind of quarrels, and any approaching rival armies, should affix this Queen of Vidyā-mantras, the Great Dispeller of Invincible Might called ‘Sitātapatrā Born from the Uṣṇīṣa of All Tathāgatas,’ to the top of victory banners. Once extensive worship has been performed with great offerings, the banners should be hoisted at all gateways to the city, or temple, or village, or town, or province, or capital, or charnel ground, or mountain or monastery. As soon as the rituals for this noble Queen of Spells, Great Invincible Dispeller, have been completed and the banner hoisted, war will be pacified. All epidemics, violence, harm, infectious diseases, quarrels, and approaching rival armies will be completely quelled. tadyathā | oṃ ṣṭom bandha bandha mama rāḳsa rāḳsa svāhā || oṃ ṣṭoṃ bandha bandha vajra mama rāḳsa rāḳsa vajrapāṇi hūṃ phaṭ svāhā || oṃ sarva-tathāgatoṣṇīṣānale avalokite curṇate jvarāśi || oṃ jvala jvala dhaka dhaka dhara dhara vidhara vidhara cchinda cchinda bhindha bhindha hūṃ hūṃ phaṭ phaṭ svāhā || oṃ sarvatathāgatoṣṇīṣa hūṃ phaṭ svāhā || tadyathā | oṃ anale anale | khasame khasame | vaire vaire | saumye saumye | sarva-buddhādiṣṭhānādhiṣṭhite sarva-tathāgatoṣṇīṣa-sitātapatre hūṃ phaṭ | hūṃ ma ma hūṃ ni svāhā || The nāga-kings Ananta, Śaṅkhapāla, and Mahākṛṣṇa will send rain, clouds, and thunder in a timely manner. For any type of danger this should be recited three times with the yoga of the Buddha. The buddhas and bodhisattvas, together with the whole world of gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas rejoiced and praised the speech of the Blessed One. Thus concludes the noble dhāraṇī “The Supreme Accomplishment of Sitātapatrā Born from the Tathāgata’s Uṣṇīṣa, Great Invincible Dispeller.”

troulpé changsem gendün pakpé tsok

Et l’assemblée du noble saṅgha des bodhisattvas émanés.

བཟོད་མེད་གདུང་ཤུགས་དྲག་པོས་གསོལ་བ་འདེབས༔

zömé doungshouk drakpö solwa deb

Je vous adresse tous mes prières, avec un élan ardent et une ferveur insoutenable !

བདག་ནི་ནམ་ཞིག་འཆི་བའི་དུས་བྱུང་ཚེ༔

dak ni namzhik chiwé dü joung tsé

Quand viendra pour moi le temps de mourir,

མཚོ་རྒྱལ་དང་ནི་ཡོན་ཏན་མགོན་པོ་ལྟར༔

tsogyal dang ni yönten gönpo tar

Puissé-je être pris directement par la main,

མངོན་སུམ་ལག་པའི་སོར་མོ་ནས་བཟུང་སྟེ༔

ngönsoum lakpé sormo né zoung té

Tout comme Tsogyal et Yönten Gönpo,

བདེ་བ་ཅན་གྱི་ཞིང་དེར་འདྲེན་པར་ཤོག༔

déwachen gyi zhing der drenpar shok

Et être guidé jusqu’à la terre pure de félicité !

ཨོཾ་ཨ་མི་ཏ་བྷ་ཧྲཱིཿ

om amitabha hrih

oṃ amitābha hrīḥ

རྟག་ཏུ་འདིར་བརྩོན་གྲོལ་བ་ཐོབ༔ སྔགས་པ་བདུད་འཇོམས་དཔའ་བོ་ཡིས༔ དད་ལྡན་ཆུང་ལི་མ་ལ་གདམས༔ དགེའོ༎ ༎

Si vous vous efforcez de réciter cette prière sans interruption, vous parviendrez à la libération. C’est ce que l’adepte des mantras Dudjom Pawo dit à Chounglima, qui éprouve de la dévotion. Vertu !
