“Ah” character clearing obstruction dharma

“Ah” character clearing obstruction dharma

Before formally meditating the Perfection Stage of the Five Golden Dharma, the empty Ah amrita clearing obstruction dharma is first meditated. Although some levels in the Perfection stage from the root Six Dharma of Niguma to the Body and heart undying and unperishing meditation dharma their own special preliminary practices, the clearing obstruction dharma is the general preliminary practice before formally meditating the Perfection Stage.  After praying for blessing and empowerment to three-mercy root guru, who has the integrative nature and lineage of every generation, the meditator recites “Ah” 21 times in one breath, in a very mysterious and superior corresponding visualization. This counts as one time. According to the requirements, the meditator should repeat this for 10,000 times, and then the preliminary practice is perfected.

 When meditating like this, four seats of yoga are performed per day. Before ending the practice of the third yoga in the afternoon dedication and propitiousness are made and the recitation of protector sutra, which is meditated daily, is added. There are strict requirements for the retreat of the Five Golden Dharma of Niguma. In addition to this general preliminary practice, all chief and subsidiary retreats also have four yoga per day.  When meditating this “Ah” character clearing obstruction dharma, the signs of clearing obstruction, briefly speaking, are as follows:

(1) walking in water, the meditator will not be flushed away by water; old skin is shed from the body, furuncles arise on the skin; suddenly becoming nauseous and vomit  unclean things while meditating this clearing obstruction dharma; worms appearing in the faeces…….all this are signs of obstruction being cleared.

(2) having special dreams: dreaming of sunrise; dreaming of the sun and moon rising very early; dreaming of flying in sky, wandering everywhere；there are no obstructions on the body, mountain, stone, and house cannot block you; dreaming of walking naked body in before many people without feeling shame or embarrassment; dreaming that dakini in the twenty-four realms bathe you in the bath, the idea that all karma and obstruction are purified arises in your heart…..any of the dreams above.

This empty Ah amrita clearing obstruction dharma was transmitted by a great lama in the lineage, Tangtong Gyalpo, and can eliminate all karma and obstruction, disease, pain and ghost troubles. There were many people who quickly abolished illness after meditating this dharma. Root guru (Jianggong Living Buddha) was weak and sickly when he was young, but he has been always very healthy after meditating this dharma; Deyuduojie, a lineage guru, also said that he did not have obstruction from disease any more after he meditated this dharma. Therefore, this clearing obstruction dharma has numerous merits.

In other meditation dharma of clearing obstruction, meditation of Vajrasattva and recitation of secret mantra are used for purification. However, many ancestor guru have said that no purifying dharma is deeper than this empty Ah clearing obstruction dharma.

 After perfecting this general preliminary practice, meditators can formally meditate the five kinds of golden dharma in the Perfection Stage.
