To attain this initiation, you disciples should now follow me in reciting the following prayers:
"I pray the Three Pillars and all Deities,
I pray the Fierce Guru and his retinues,
Considering my sincere prayer and earnest request,
Please grant me the Initiation of the Vase.
I take refuge in the Three Precious Ones.
I confess all the sins and evil doings that I have committed.
I shall view all the good deeds and merits of sentient beings with sympathetic joy.
I pray that all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas ceaselessly remember me in their minds.
From now until the time of attaining the perfect Buddhahood,
I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.
For the benefit of self and others
I raise the incomparable Heart for Bodhi.
When this prime vow of the Heart for Bodhi is made,
I shall render my services to all sentient beings.
I hope the day I attain Buddhahood will come soon!"
Recite this prayer not less than three times.
(Then the Guru holds the Human Skull, filled with nectar, and addresses the disciple.)
"You are born in a well-gifted lineage;
I now impart to you the Vajra of Wisdom and grant you the Siddhis.
Deyata Jaha Hum Neya!"
(The disciple drinks the nectar from the human skull) and thinks that he has drunk the nectar that can cure all poisonous disease and bring all prosperity and auspiciousness.
The Guru says:
"This is the Water of Hell for you
If you break your oath or violate the precepts,
It will become a great fire and burn you to ashes.
If you observe the precepts and keep your oath
It will bring you all Siddhis and accomplishments.
Samaya Gahi Hasa Hum!"
Now, follow me in reciting this prayer;
"Oh, Guru, you are the embodiment of all Buddhas;
In you, I take refuge.
In you find shelter.
In the endless and miserable Samsara Ocean
I look forward to you--to ferry me to the safe shore!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Hum Hum Hum Hum!
Now, you disciples should think that nothing any more exists; there is only a vast void. Suddenly from this great voidness you become the Fierce Guru Phurba, four faces all looking in one direction, for this is the manner of conquering and subduing all devils and demons. His first hand holds the thunderbolt with knife; the other hand holds the scorpion. The lower hand holds the symbolic staff, Khadramga, and at the lower part of his body stands the powerful Phurba with grooves, the weapon that kills the evils, agonizing and tormenting them.
Om Ah Hum!
