The practitioner of this ritual will also accomplish all the four performances, namely, the Performance of Subduing, of Increasing, of Attraction, and of Conquering. He will encounter no obstacles. Therefore, one should always rely on Vajrapani, take him as one's shelter and refuge. Also, those who have chronic diseases will be cured through reciting the Mantra of Vajrapani.
Now, you should all think that these initiation symbols prepared for you are all Vajrapanis themselves, and follow me in reciting the prayers:
"I pray to gurus and to the Three Precious ones and to the Yidam Buddhas,
Especially, I pray Vajrapani.
Please grant me the superb initiation."
[Recite this prayer three times.]
The guru then addresses the disciples:
Follow me and recite the prayer of Raising the Bodhi Heart:
"I take refuge in the Three Precious Ones.
I confess all my sinful doings and transgressions
To all virtuous deeds of sentient beings,
I raise the sympathetic joys.
I devote my heart to Buddhas and to the Enlightenment.
Till the day of my final enlightenment,
I take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
For the sake of benefiting self and others I aspire to Bodhi.
From now on I will serve all sentient beings;
And practice all Actions of Bodhi with earnestness and joy.
For the sake of benefiting all beings,
May I come to the realization of Perfect Enlightenment."
All you disciples should think that you have now become the Ahm Gtsug Vajrapani,
Appearing in a form of Drang Srong,
Holding in his hand the skull;
His braided hair is as white as the seashell.
His right hand holds the thunderbolt upflung toward the sky;
That is the symbol of subduing all hindrances.
The left one holds the bell in front of his breast;
That is the symbol of increasing longevity, merits, and prosperity.
His body is greenish-grey, adorned with silk scarves.
On the lower part of his body
He wears an apron made of tiger-skin.
He stretches his left leg and bends his right leg.
Vividly and distinctly he stands on the lotus-moon disc.
On the moon-disc at his heart-center there is a Hum word.
Clockwise encircling the Hum word is the garland of Mantra.
From this garland of Mantra emanate infinite beams of light,
Inviting the numerous Vajrapanis from the Pure Lands in ten directions.
Thus, the beyond-number-Vajrapanis all come down here,
They all enter into you and unite with you.
[The guru says:]
Hum! All the Vajrapanis in Ahm Gtsug form, Pray come down here and bless us!
Pray vouchsafe my disciples your supreme initiation! Pray protect them from all evils and hindrances of life!
Recite the main incantation:
Om Ba-tsa Ah Wei Sha Ya Ah Ah!
