How Tibetan Buddhism Makes Me Feel, by Tara Carreon Revelations of a Mother Goddess, by David Icke The unbearable blue-black raksha body possessing the nine dances of wrath and rage and the brilliant ferocity of a hundred thousand suns, to the vajra body I give praise. With the terrifying HA HA HUNG PHET, the raging roar like a thousand dragons and the vajra laugh which shakes the three realms, to the speech of the heruka, I give praise. * From the hearts of the hosts of deities of the self-visualization and front visualization, shine rays of razor-sharp mantra light like showers of meteors and forks of wild lightning. These set upon all the dualistic forces of harm and sever their aortas. * Self-arisen and primordially pure, the eight thousand herbs of prepared medicines and the supreme samaya of alchemical mercury are mixed together into one powerful taste. May all the deities of the mandala accept this offering and bestow the accomplishment of unsurpassable magical transformation. * If you wish to enact the activity ritual specific to this deity, use the great red averting torma. Sprinkle poison and blood on the mandala that is the basis of the activity. Place on this either a properly laid-out diagram in colored sand or a painted version of a three-sided chojung with a ring of fire around it and a wheel within it complete with rim and hub. If either of these diagrams is unobtainable, it will be sufficient to use a piece of skin soaked in blood with piles of black grain on it. On a tripod in the center of this in an iron vessel, place a red torma molded of dough made from the raw flour of some black grain moistened with blood. The torma is called "thunderbolt" and has sharp, blade-like edges. Around it are small offering tormas equal in number to the deities, and on top of it is the representation of Vajrakilaya and a garuda, over which is placed a canopy of black silk. As well, wrathful ornaments are arranged in a grand and fierce display: Bowls of blood, fragrant tse grass, mustard seed, red brambles, a plaque marked "XXX" and so forth. Finally, these are surrounded by the wrathful sense offerings (the "great red" for drinking water and so forth). Gather together the necessary articles for the ritual: A phurba, an effigy and the substances for dividing, casting down, suppressing and rendering mad, the power substances, the liberating knife, the hammer, triangular ladles and so on. * Burn gugul and so forth as incense, and perform the separating mudra with raven and owl feathers. * From emptiness appear the torma vessel, an enormous red conch skullcup, vast and extensive. Inside are the torma substances, which are obtained from the liberation of the forces of dualistic obstruction: mountains of flesh, oceans of blood, heaps of bones, foaming masses of brains and fat and a complete array, with no omission, of all offerings that are pleasing to the senses and worthy of being samaya substances. In essence, these have the nature of the amrita of the inexhaustible wisdom; inconceivable, they fill the extent of space. * Once again, the great torma instantly becomes the majestic Dorje Zhonnu, with an army of the eight classes of defiant gods and demons. With wrathful, fierce and fearsome forms, they fill the three states of conditioned existence and bring down a rain of disease, weapons and poison, rapacious in their activity to liberate the forces of dualistic obstruction. * Tame the hordes of mara with the force of the Vajra cannibal! * This King of Confessions, in just a few words, can stir samsara from its depths like alchemy applied to iron.
