If one wishes to quickly receive the spiritual accomplishment of life and primordial
wisdom, other deity practices are incomparable to the practice of the Profound
Yoga of the Immortal Tara.

In preparation, retreat to a solitary place which is clean and pleasing. At the time
the sun is in its northern declination (March 21 to September 21), on the eighth
day of the waxing or on the tenth day of the waning moon, etc., when the
constellations are in an excellent formation, begin just before dawn.

In an auspicious place draw a pleasing and beautiful square mandala in whose
center is an eight petalled lotus surrounded by five circles. Upon that, upon a
tripod is a precious vase possessing favorable characteristics, tied at the neck with
white silk. Fill this water from a permanent lake or continuously flowing glacial
spring drawn by a pure young girl and with the twenty five substances. Decorate
with a fruit tree branch. Within the leaves place a drawing of the Samaya form of
Tara or else arrange a statue on the altar. In front of this is the torma, to the right
are long life pills, to the left is the amrita, and lastly the torma is tastefully
surrounded by diverse offerings. If one is not able to do this, then on top of a shelf
with a white covering place one pile of white grains. On the middle of the pile
collect and arrange a vase, a torma, a suitable form body and the first to the last of
the offerings.

Generally accomplish the continuous practice of self-generation as well as the
essential nature of motionless meditative concentration.

The preparation is completed in this way: Offer the torma(s) to the local deities
and negative spirits; meditate upon the profound wheel of protection; wash with
fragrant water; sit on a comfortable cushion; and place the mind in devotion and
happiness.

To confess mistakes, recite the one hundred syllable mantra and then dissolve
into the completion stage, the mandala of clear light, to purify Samsara and
Nirvana. Recite the prayers to dedicate the merit and increase good fortune.

Furthermore, to schedule ones recitation of the Victorious Mother,

The length of time: from seven days to twenty one days, months, years, etc., or
whatever is suitable. It is said, Through the effort of even seven days, the
untimely certainty of death is averted.

Numbers: the recitation of ten thousand, one hundred thousand, ten million, etc.,
removes ones share of the succession of untimely death, misfortune and discord,
protects the remaining duration of ones life and obtains the Pure Awareness of
Immortality. It is said, By the unmoving, one-pointed recitation of one hundred
thousand, Pure Awareness of Life is obtained.

The signs of recitation: it is said, To see the actual countenance of the deity and
to receive prophecies is the primary sign. To have the vision of or at least to
dream of seeing the countenance of the deity and receiving prophecies, seeing a
mass of white light, gathering flowers, eating fruit, drinking amrita, seeing the rising
of the sun, seeing a beautiful white maiden, seeing stupas, seeing tsa tsas, and
being given jewelry, malas and so forth, or any white substance, are the mediocre
signs. Seeing these, one certainly possesses the signs of the accomplishment of
life.

Thus, you have the times, numbers and signs of Taras recitation. At the time of
undertaking the accomplishment, do whatever is possible.

In front is the mandala with the accomplishment substances. From Taras three
bright places, three light rays of white, red and blue emanate, dissolving into ones
own three places. Think that one obtains the accomplishment of primordial
wisdom and eternal life.

This is advice offered by the Immortal Lake-Born Teacher (Padmasambhava), the
Wish-Fulfilling King of Power, which is the center of the precious mass of many
different methods of Tara, the live-giving, wish-fulfilling moon. Endeavor now to
pull this chariot of merit of Taras smiling rays of blessings which finally expels the
dark battle of the Lord of Death. May all beings possess the body of the
increasing water treasure of long life!

This is the Treasure of the Great Pure Awareness Holder Dudul Lingpa called,
The Systematic Method for Accomplishing White Tara, the Wish-Fulfilling Wheel,
the Life-Bestowing Mother, called the Excellent Vase of the Nectar of Immortality.

For the sake of fulfilling the desire of Lady Kunzang Dechen Tsomo, an intelligent
noblewoman, the sprout of the Pure Awareness Holders, Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje, at
the age of thirty seven, on the excellent day of the Second Buddha (the tenth day)
of the waxing moon, in the constellation (lunar mansion) of Dro Shin (Alpha
Aquila), in the famous year of the Dragon, finished this in the delightful garden of
the Great Teachers blessed hidden land of Sikkim.
