Pray come down and bless us!

Pray grant the highest Initiation to us, your faithful and well-destined disciples;

Pray dispel the evil-persuaders and smash the hindrances to longevity.

"Om Ah Hum Guru Gorda Sarva Samaya Om Ba-tsa Ah We Sha Ya Ah Ah!" (Recite many times.)

"Di Tsha Ban Tsar!" (Recite to retain the Buddhas.)

Thus by the grace of the initiation, a pure foundation (for further advancement) is laid. Now, in order to attain further initiations, follow me and recite the following prayers:

"I sincerely pray to the Three Pillars and all Buddhas,
I sincerely pray to the Fierce Guru and his retinues,
I beseech you to grant me the Outer, Inner, Secret, and Most Secret Initiations."

In response to this prayer, the Buddhas in front of you

all send forth from their bodies the Outer, Inner, Secret, and Most Secret Fierce Gurus in large and small forms, and they all enter into you and unite with you. Thus should you visualize:

Hum! This is the Outer Practice, the Outer Fierce Guru:

He Has three faces and six arms.

I now put his image on you, on the disciple's head;

Thus the initiation of the Fierce Guru is attained by you.

Om Ah Hum Guru Gorda Ga Ya Ah Bi Di Tsa Hum!

Hum! This is the Inner Practice, the Inner Guru:

He has three faces and four arms.

I now put his image on your, the disciple's, head;

Thus the initiation of the Fierce Guru is attained by you.

Om Ah Hum Guru Gorda Ga Ya Ah Bi Di Tsa Hum!

Hum! This is the Most Secret Practice, the Most Secret Fierce Guru:

His two arms embrace the Yum [consort], red in color.

I now put this image on your, the disciple's, head;

Thus the initiation of the Fierce Guru is attained by you.

Om Ah Guru Gorda Ga Ya Ah Bi Di Tsa Hum!

(Thereupon throw the flowers.)

Hum! The conqueror of the Three Kingdoms[r_1:29] and demons, the Lord of all Vajras!

He is reddish-black, with his three fierce eyes wide open.

He tramples upon the body of a demon with his two feet.

May the Fierce Guru and all Buddhas grant us the Blessing!

After attaining the Outer, Inner, Secret, and Most Secret Initiations [the four lower tantric initiations], one should ask for the Initiation of Vase. The disciples are to recite the following prayers:

"I pray the Three Pillars and all Deities;
I pray the Fierce Guru and his retinues;
With sincerity and great yearning
I beg you to grant me the Initiation of Vase."

(The initiating guru holds the Vase in his hand.)
