([[bar chad kun sel kyi chos skor]]) - Here is a short introduction to the [[Barchey Künsel]] cycle: The Barchey Künsel is the [[heart essence]] of the accomplished master [[Padmasambhava]] who perceives the [[three times]] in their entirety. It is the quintessence of one billion heart sadhanas of the Guru, the most unique terma buried in the land of Tibet; and it is the first among the [[Four Cycles of Guru Sadhana]]. This [[Guru's Heart Practice, Dispeller of All Obstacles]] contains in completeness all the profound key points of the view, meditation and conduct of the [[Three Inner Tantras]]. It manifested from the secret treasury of the great wisdom, the vast realization of the Second Buddha of Uddiyana, as the self-existing natural vajra sounds in perfect melodious tones. Its expressions which are unmodified by the intellect of ordinary people, its words which are without delusion, and its meaning which is unmistaken, are exclusively due to the kindness of the three powerful knowledge-holders [Khyentse, Kongtrül, and Chokling], the great beings of the three families, who incarnated as masters to compile and propagate an ocean of secret teachings. It is exclusively through their kindness that this teaching was established in writing as the splendor of unending welfare and happiness for the disciples in the Land of Snow, and propagated to flourish everywhere. This pure and perfect teaching, which effortlessly bestows, in accordance with one's wishes, the all-encompassing supreme and common [[siddhi]]s, temporaily and ultimately, was an unprecedented diffusion of the gemstones of the profound meaning, like opening up for the treasury of the universal monarch. [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] About the Barchey Künsel practice, which is the first and most extensive of the [[Four Cycles of Guru Sadhana]], [[Jamgön Kongtrül]] says in his Seed of the Great Sal Tree: "Generally, for the basic descriptions of how to practice this, take the third chapter taught in the Sheldam Nyingjang as basis and apply them, following your teacher's oral advice, in the extensive, medium or short version, whichever is appropriate, and in accordance with the situation in terms of place, time, and type of person. Whether you begin with the [[development stage]] or [[completion stage]], first perform the general preliminaries of the fourfold mind-training and the four special preliminaries. For the main part, according to the system of Terchen [[Chokgyur Lingpa]], take Sheldam Nyingjang as basis, and first practice ''Dharmakaya Amitayus'' followed by the ''Lotus Magical Net of Sambhogakaya'', the Great Compassionate One [[Avalokiteshvara]]. After this, combine the extensive or medium version with the [[Nirmanakaya]] [[Padmasambhava]], whichever is suitable, and complete the set number [of recitations] for [[approach and accomplishment]]. Following that, it is necessary to perform successively the specific approaches, combining the twelve manifestations with Trinley Nyingpo, and complete the four activities and the four ancillary practices as well as the practice of the teaching guardians. According to the system of the omniscient master, Padma Ösel Do-Ngak Lingpa [ [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]] ], perform, as the beginning of the main part, the single mudra according to the [[Gyüngyi Köljang]], the Daily Practice Manual, as 'approach'; the condensed outer mandala of [[Trinley Nyingpo]] as the 'full approach;' [[Trinley Dringpo]], the Medium Practice Manual, as 'accomplishment;' and [[Trinley Gyepa]], the Extensive Practice Manual, together with [[Dzapkyi Köljang]], the Recitation Manual, and so forth in a detailed way for the 'great accomplishment.' The [[samadhi]]s and [[visualization]]s for recitation of these should conform with the root text of the third chapter [of Sheldam Nyingjang]. Having properly performed the [[four aspects of approach and accomplishment]], perform then the 'specific practices' such as those for [[Dharmakaya]], [[Sambhogakaya]] and so forth, whichever is suitable. There is no difference between following either of these two systems since they both are lords of these profound teachings." [RY]
