gzhom med rdo rje gsum - the three indestructible vajras [RY]

yan 'debs - GJT: abbr for "yan nas 'debs pa" which means to "purify from above" and refers to the process of purification thru the decent of amrita from Vajrasatta. The first of three modes of purification in Vajrasattva practice; the other two are {man 'debs} and {'phul 'debs}. In the {yan 'debs} process one imagines one's impurities pass out from one's seat along with the amrita. N.B. GJT said that "deb" had the sense of "to push" but did not know the spelling of "deb" so {'debs} is a best guess. See also {man 'debs} and {'phul 'debs} [mss] [RY]

yig brgya - 100 syllables. Here is the translated meaning of the 100 syllables: From om to ya means "Om Vajrasattva's samaya." From manu to satva means "care for me, oh samaya!" From tve to bhava means "satisfy me!" From suto to bhava means "Fulfill me!" From supo to bhava means "Make me fully develop!" From anu to bhava means "Be loving to me!" From sarva to yaccha means "Grant me all the siddhis!" From sarva to me means "Make me master all activities!" From chitta to tu means "Make my mind virtuous!" From hung ha to hoh is the passionate laughter of vajra wisdom; the wish to translate that is the pursuit of fools. From bhaga to ta means "of all the Blessed Thus-Gone Ones." From vajra to munca means "Vajra, do not forsake me!" The words vajri and bhava mean "Make me vajra-like!" From maha to ah means "Great samaya being, ah!" This was according to Manjugosha [Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]. Alternately, according to Guna [Jamg?n Kongtr?l] the first part is the same followed b! y this slight difference: Make me master all activities! Make my mind virtuous! hung ha ha ha ha hoh! Oh Blessed Vajra, all tathagatas, may you not forsake me! Make me vajra-like! Great samaya being, ah! [RY]
