CHAPTER SEVEN

[A COMPENDIUM OF

THE INITIATION RITUALS OF

PERFORMANCE OR

ALL-ACCOMPLISHING WISDOM

PRESIDED OVER BY AMOGHASIDDHI][r_7:1]

FOLIO 1

Picture: Buddha Amoghasiddhi (Tibetan Don-yod-grub-pa, meaning Buddha of Performance).

This Buddha abides in the north of the Mandala. He is the fifth Buddha of the Five Buddhas of Tantricism and usually belongs to the last of the initiation series[r_7:2].

Text

Hum! This is the Bhagavan, Buddha of Performance.

I now give to you, the well-destined disciples, his initiation.

Have faith and devotion toward him!

Through the power of his speech and wisdom,

Your envious nature naturally dissolves and becomes his holy body.

May you attain the complete initiation of Amoghasiddhi.

Dagarma Abhi Ditsa Ah!

If you understand, O disciples, that everything is the manifestation of consciousness,

Or that consciousness makes everything,

Then you will truly attain the Initiation of the Dissolution of the Envious Nature.

(And you should know that) the green wisdom-light symbolizes the Buddha of Performance, himself.

FOLIO 2

Picture: Very unclear; presumably it is the robe which Buddha wears.

Text

Buddha's body feels no cold,

But following the fashion of sentient beings--

Needing this and needing that--

Buddha, likewise, robes himself.

Putting on this Buddha's robe, you will become resplendent:

Ahdi Sabuya Svaha.

FOLIO 3

Picture: The Tiger-skin apron and ornaments for the Fierce Buddha.

Text

You should think that you offer the Tiger-skin apron and ornaments to the Fierce One.

Hum! Although Buddha's mind is fearless,

He wears these terrifying ornaments

On his wrathful body

To cleanse the sins of sentient beings

And bring them to the Path of Liberation.

By your wearing this Tiger-skin apron and fierce ornaments,

The demons will be conquered and all your fears routed.

Om! Sher Bi Yo Di Sar Su Yy Svaha!

FOLIO 4

Picture: The Fiery Water[r_7:3] [which conquers both cold and heat]

Text

(The Guru hands over the picture of the Fiery Water to they disciple.)

Hum! This is the protection from heat and cold--the Fiery Water with qualities of both warmth and coolness.

I now impart to you well-destined disciples, this initiation.

You will be immune to the cold and heat-torments of Hell;

Thus you will be forever freed from the sufferings of Hell.

Du Da Ha Da Ha Sarwa Nara Gade Heru Hum Pai!

(see note, Folios 26-41, <page 115>)

FOLIO 10

Picture: The Five Wheels.

Text

Hum! These are the Precious Wheels

The Cross Symbols[r_7:4] on the human heart.

I now impart this initiation to you, good disciples.
