PURIFICATION
My heart is an empty eggshell. Inside it, the letter DHI radiates light waves which
dispel the inner darkness of ignorance and transform my body into clarity.
OM SVA BHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVA BHAVA SHUDDHO HUM

Visual Imagination of Oneself as The Deity


Everything dissolves into emptiness. Out of the emptiness, a lotus bud arises from the syllable PAM. Upon the
lotus sits the moon disk of the syllable AA. In the top middle of the AA is the syllable DHI. It is a glorious gold
colour. It radiantly disperses the darkness of the unknowing state into wisdom and places beings into the light
of primordial wakefulness. All the Buddhas in the ten directions, their cognition and their all-encompassing
knowledge, are pouring down upon the syllable DHI at one's heart and becoming one with it.
Then, I am a red-gold-orange Arya Manjushri. I am youthful with one face and two hands. My right hand
raises the sword that cuts the roots of ignorance. My left hand at my heart holds a stem of an opening lotus
flower within which sits the Perfection of Wisdom Prajnaparamita teachings. I am seated in Vajra posture,
cross-legged, richly ornamented, with upper and lower garments of cotton. My hair hangs youthfully in five
locks curling over the left shoulder. I am transparent as I recline on the moon disk.
OM at his forehead, AA at his throat, HUM at his heart. At the centre of his heart, the yellow four-spoke
Wisdom Wheel (Prajna Chakra). On the rightside of the centre Chakra is the syllable DHI. On the left side of
the centre Chakra is AA. The four spokes are marked with RA PA TSA NA clockwise. The middle DHI syllable
radiates light to Manjushri's abode which is encircled by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas descending on us.

OM VAJRA SAMA JA
Pause
JA HUM BAM HO
Again the light rays shine out, invoking the five Mandala deities.
OM VAJRA SAMA JA
ABHI SHYE CATU MAM
Mandala deities uttering OM VAJRI BHAVA ABHI SHYE HUM
Thus causes the induction that fills the body and cleanses the dirt. Excess water flows up to mark Akshobya
on the crown. Light rays issue from both the Wisdom Chakra and the Mantra at one's heart, dispelling the
delusions and Karmic habits of beings, transforming each being into a Manjushri. The summation of the
blessings of Gurus, Yidams, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, their knowledge, compassion and power, unifies with
the Wisdom Chakra of each being. Thus I imagine our being is now consecrated.
MANTRA
OM AA RA PA TSA NA DHI as many as possible

In one exhalation recite DHI as much as possible. Imagine the syllable DHI is orange in colour, lying face inwards
on one's own tongue, cleansing vices and faults of speech.
Bhagwati may my faults and the faults of all beings, obscurations and delusions be expelled.
Bless us to grant the infinite wisdom to discover the absolute truth of selflessness.
