Magnificent Goddess, Queen of War Sickle

Generate as Yamantaka

Glorious great root teacher, precious one,

Seated on a lotus on my head,

Having graced us through your great kindness,

Great bless my body, voice and mind I pray. [Visualize Guru as Yamantaka on top of our heads]

Instantaneously I arise in the bodily form of glorious Vajra-

Bhairava, with one face and two arms holding a cleaver [right hand]

and a skull-cup [left hand].

OFFERINGS

Blessing the Offerings

OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITA NANA HUM PHET [Small one face two arms Yamantaka comes out of right nostril and enters the left

nostril]

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

Everything becomes void.

While in the state of void-ness, from a YAM comes wind; from a

RAM comes fire; from AHs a grate of three human heads, on top of

which from an AH comes a white skull-cup. Inside it are the five

meats and five nectars; on top of these are OM AH HUM. From the

HUM at my heart light rays emanate. The wind moves, the fire

blazes, and the substances inside the skull-cup melt and boil.

From the three syllables, light-rays emanate, hooking back into

the three vajras, which dissolve into them. These then fall back

into the skull-cup and melt.

By means of the HUM, the faults of color, odor and potential are

cleansed.

By means of the AH, it is transformed into nectar.

By means of the OM, it increases and becomes huge.

OM AH HUM OM AH HUM OM AH HUM

OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITA NANA HUM PHET [Small one face two arms Yamantaka comes out of right nostril and enters the left

nostril]

PALDEN LHAMO

______________________________________________________________ 3

Everything becomes void. From a state of void-ness, from AHs come

broad and expansive skull-cups, inside of which are HUMs. The

HUMs melt and become water for the mouth, cooling water for the

feet, perfumes, flowers, incense, a butter lamp, food and music.

By nature they are bliss and void-ness. In aspect, they are the

offering substances. Their function is to confer distinguished

uncontaminated bliss as objects to be enjoyed by the six senses.

OM ARGHAM AH HUM / OM PADYAM AH HUM / OM PUSHPE AH HUM /

OM DHUPE AH HUM / OM ALOKE AH HUM / OM GHADHE AH HUM /

OM NAIVIDYA AH HUM / OM SHABDA AH HUM

Blessing the arrival (Descending) TORMA

OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITA NANA HUM PHET [Small one face two arms Yamantaka comes out of right nostril and enters the left

nostril]

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

Everything becomes void.

While in the state of void-ness, from a YAM comes wind; from a

RAM comes fire; from AHs a grate of three human heads, on top of

which from an AH comes a white skull-cup. Inside it are the five

meats and five nectars; on top of these are OM AH HUM. From the

HUM at my heart light rays emanate. The wind moves, the fire

blazes, and the substances inside the skull-cup melt and boil.

From the three syllables, light-rays emanate, hooking back into

the three vajras, which dissolve into them. These then fall back

into the skull-cup and melt.

By means of the HUM, the faults of color, odor and potential are

cleansed.

By means of the AH, it is transformed into nectar.

By means of the OM, it increases and becomes huge.

Blessing the uncommon, fulfilling offerings

OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITA NANA HUM PHET [Small one face two arms Yamantaka comes out of right nostril and enter the left nostril]

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

Everything becomes void. From the sphere of void-ness, arise the

first syllables of the names of the offerings, adorned with a

zero. These melt, and from this, arises precious offering

substances in order to please the Glorious Goddess and her

entourage. The diversity of the offerings is unconceivable. They

arise and increase in the presence of the Glorious Goddess.

GENERATION OF THE DHARMA PROTECTRESS AND HER RETINUE

BHYO RAKMO BHYO RAKMO BHYO BHYO RAKMO THUN BHYO KALA RAKCHENMO

RAKMO AMBE THAMBE THUN BHYO RULU RULU HUM BHYO HUM [3 times]

OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITA NANA HUM PHET

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

Everything becomes void. From the state of void-ness, in front of

oneself appears a turbulent great ocean of blood and melted fat.

In its centre is a tent-like black, swirling wind. Inside it is a

young, yellow, wild mule with a white spot on its forehead and

equipped with saddle and bridle of cannibals’ skulls and skins;

saddle strings, rein strings and lead strings are of venomous

snakes. Above it, from the syllable BHYO arises Remati, the

magnificent Queen of War Sickle. She is blue black, with one face

and two hands, brandishing a club marked with vajra in her right

hand towards the brains of the destined pledged ones, while her

left holds at the heart the skin and blood-filled skull of a

child of incest. She is complete with all the ornaments and

clothes. Around is an assembly of demons, lords of death,

cannibals, field protectors and so on. The principal lady and her

retinue are marked at their crowns by OM, at their throats by AH,

at their hearts by HUM. From the HUM at my heart light rays are

emitted. Instantly, from the “Mule Ting” great ocean in the

north-east, the Powerful Lady of the Desire Realm, Remati, the

Magnificent Queen of War Sickle and her retinue are invoked to

this very place. [music]

PALDEN LHAMO

______________________________________________________________ 5

BHYO.

Magnificent Remati of the Nyen [spirits],

War-Sickle sentinel of the Doctrine,

In the presence of Vajradhara, you did accept the teachings.

Previously during the first Kalpa,

You finalized your place of residence,

In this north-eastern direction,

Without grass, water, trees and so on.

Traveling beyond many valleys,

You cut the sorrow of the northern red plain,

The red northern path runs uncurved gently flowing;

The red northern mountain, grand and terrifying,

With many wild animals running around,

Various goblin-birds send forth their various cries,

A great hail of sky iron showers SHAR – RA – RA,

Counch-like snow storm swirls LI-LI,

Inside the “Mule Ting” ocean, is a square brown fortress.

Its brown corers are made of brown “chong” jewels.

Its “Ka-Be”[circumference]are made of blue turquoise.

Its black foundation is made of black iron.

Human and horse corpses are spread out as plinth,

There is an ocean of [vomited] human and horse blood.

Extensively surrounded by an assembly of one hundred thousand

Mamos, one thousand flesh eaters and ten million blood drinkers,

Inside this celestial mansion,

Sits the Mistress of the entire Mamos[FEMALE SPIRITS].

BHYO.

Magnificent Remati of the Nyen,

From your crown and from your womb,

The sun and moon emit blazing light rays.

Irresistible Black Lady with magic powers,

Powerful Lady of the Desire Realm,

According to your solemn promise,

Now is the time to come here,

EH AH RA LI HRIM HRIM DZA DZA

Black Lady, lethal and furious,

Who displays an all-embracing form,

Chief of the Black Ladies, riding a mule,

Come here on your mule’s seat,

DZA HUM BAM HO

Black cannibal having fangs,

Black Lady laughing ‘HA-HA’,

You who enjoys to kill,

I will perform the respect of signals.

Although you have reached the spontaneity of the three bodies,

You have perfected in compassion.

Yet you appear in an infuriated body

To subdue the wild beings of the Desire Realms.

PALDEN LHAMO

Buddhas. With my three doors and great respect, I prostrate.

INITIATION

From the HUM at my heart, light rays go out, invoking the

empowering deities. I request them: “Please bestow the initiation

thoroughly”. Because of this request, they hold aloft vases of

transcendental wisdom nectar. They confer the initiation by

saying:

All the obscurations are purified. The remaining water having

settled on her crown transforms into Vajra-Bhairava with mother,

who becomes her crown ornament.

BHYO.

Magnificent Goddess, hard to fathom,

Enjoying the expanse of space with your magical means.

To yourself, manifestation of Bodhisattvas,

With body, speech and mind I respectfully prostrate.

Although you are not polluted by my offerings,

In order to obtain the magnificent holy attainments,

A rain of desired qualities falling from the sky,

By these assembled offerings, may the senses be developed.

Magnificent Lady, you have power over virtue and sin.

The evils of my body, speech and mind

I perfectly confess to you with regret.

By the strength of your compassion, purify my obscurations.

You are the perfectly Exalted Lady.

Accomplishing the purpose of transmigrators, my own and all

goodness.

Delighting in happiness and harmony without jealousy,

I rejoice and offer to your lineage.

Supreme body having the complete qualities,

Holding terrifying black and good implements,

For the purpose of all transmigrators in the ten directions and

the three times,

Please show a net magical apparitions.

Supreme and complete body.

For the purpose of transmigrators and to protect the doctrine,

Until the sky becomes exhausted,

Don’t pass into Nirvana but remain firmly, we pray.

summoning and praying,

May the evil realms become empty.

BHYO.

O Root and Lineage Gurus, such as Vajradhara and Red Lawa,

Please pay attention to me:

To all you gurus who are real Buddhas,

I confess all actions and wrong views done by the power of

ignorance.

We confess the breaks of samaya, which are obstacles,

To perfectly taking the three jewel-like bodies.

Through the great ocean-like vehicle of the secret mantra,

Which depends on the kindness of the captain, our Virtuous

Friend.

The unbroken, very special samaya substances and the power of

sorrow, with single pointed devotion,

To you Magnificent Goddess and your retinue,

I confess all the improperly done recitations and practices.

Whatever sins I have committed I previous times, with my three

doors under the power of ignorance,

In front of spontaneously arisen three bodes,

I confess with strong concentration of my body, speech and mind.

To you, the Goddess and your retinue, like a treasure of

compassion, like a mother who loves her naughty child,

Protecting practitioners without forgetting,

I confess the times that I did not thank you.

I confess all the times I granted initiation to,

And protected with love,

The enemies and interferers with broken pledges,

Who cause mischief to the doctrine holders and all beings.

In short, the actions done by the power of ignorance,

Such as offerings polluted by substances of broken samaya.

All our deeds that disagree with your body, speech and mind,

We confess with strong regret.

Although the act of confession and what is confessed are not

really seen,

In order to purify the stains of the conception grasping at true

existence,

I make confession to the Magnificent Goddess and her retinue,

May this cleanse all degenerations and defilements.

REQUESTING THE FOUR ACTIVITIES

BHYO. The four various actions are mind itself; they don’t exist apart from

mind, and mind does not exist. Ultimately there are no distinctions, and

neither do color and form exist. They are miraculously shown as mere

illusions by the Glorious Goddess of Peace, in accordance with our

disposition. Principal Lady amidst an assembly of pacifiers, distinguished

by a very brilliant white body, you have pacified, will pacify and are in a

pacifying mood.

I prostrate to the Mother who always pacifies.

Please, pacify my illnesses, evil spirits and interferences.

BHYO. The four various actions are mind itself; they don’t exist apart from

mind, and mind does not exist. Ultimately there are no distinctions, and

neither do color and form exist. They are miraculously shown as mere

illusions by the Glorious Goddess of Development, in accordance with our

disposition. Principal Lady amidst an assembly of developers, distinguished

by a very magnificent yellow body, you have developed, will develop and are

in a developing mood.

I prostrate to the Mother who always develops.

Please, increase my lifespan and develop my merits.

BHYO. The four various actions are mind itself; they don’t exist apart from

mind, and mind does not exist. Ultimately there are no distinctions, and

neither do color and form exist. They are miraculously shown as mere

illusions by the Glorious Goddess of Conquest, in accordance with our

disposition. Principal Lady amidst an assembly of conquerors, distinguished

by a very sensual red body, you have conquered, will conquer and are in a

conquering mood.

I prostrate to the Mother who always conquers.

Please, conquer all beings of the three worlds.

BHYO. The four various actions are mind itself; they don’t exist apart from

mind, and mind does not exist. Ultimately there are no distinctions, and

neither do color and form exist. They are miraculously shown as mere

illusions by the Glorious Goddess of Wrath, in accordance with our

disposition. Principal Lady amidst an assembly of Terrifyers, distinguished

by a very fierce black body, you have terrified, will terrify and are in a

terrifying mood.

I prostrate to the Mother who always terrifies.

Please, with your wrath, eliminate my sicknesses, evil spirits, enemies and

misfortunes.

BHYO. Although your nature, appearing with such varied characteristics, has

no concrete existence, you still benefit migrators with your four actions.

By thoroughly praising you with full attention, may I also effortlessly

achieve the state of the four actions and, like you, strive to benefit

migrating beings.

BHYO.

A mountain-like heap of human flesh,

An ocean-like swirl of blood.

Enjoy this torma of samaya substances.

The enemies and interferers, the broken pledges,

The assemblies of harmful beings and evil spirits.

Lead the demon’s army against the enemies.

Queen of the War Sickle, lead your armies forward.

To form the armies, life the weapons.

Increase the retinue and the doctrine,

Subdue completely the Three Realms,

Prayer

Masters who fulfill our minds’ hopes;

Deities of the Yidam mandalas, source of accomplishments;

Assemblies of Those Gone Beyond and their Sons, Dakas and

Dakinis,

And assemblies of powerful Protectors, pay attention to us.

Whatever sins we have committed in the past with our three doors,

Under the power of bewilderment and inattention, lack of respect

and delusion, the forces which delight the demons,

We confess them all and separately with strong regret.

In particular, I confess in my heart,

The transgressions from vowed restraints and pledges,

Not discarding what should be discarded and not practicing what

should be practiced,

Proclaiming secrets, my degenerations and pollutions, whatever

faults I have.

Although the existing mode of the three circles is all-pure like

space, with water of your compassion wash the sins,

Downfalls and their results, sickness, demons, sufferings and

stains of the relative migrators, and grant them purity.

By the blessings of the three time Buddhas and their Sons,

By the truth of the infallible dependent origination,

And by the force of my pure, superior motive,

May all pure prayers be fulfilled.

OFFERING THE GOLDEN DRINK [TAKEN OUT AFTER THE PRAYER]

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

Everything becomes void.

While in the state of void-ness, from a YAM comes wind; from a

RAM comes fire; from AHs a grate of three human heads, on top of

which from an AH comes a white skull-cup. Inside it are the five

meats and five nectars; on top of these are OM AH HUM. From the

HUM at my heart light rays emanate. The wind moves, the fire

blazes, and the substances inside the skull-cup melt and boil.

From the three syllables, light-rays emanate, hooking back into

the three vajras, which dissolve into them. These then fall back

into the skull-cup and melt.

By means of the HUM, the faults of color, odor and potential are

cleansed.

By means of the AH, it is transformed into nectar.

By means of the OM, it increases and becomes huge.

Mistress of all the worlds, we invite you.

We invite you and entrust you to protect

Ourselves, masters, students, people, wealth and monasteries.

From now until the essence of Enlightenment is reached,

Do not forget to accomplish the activities of the Omniscient

Ones. [MUSIC]

THANKSGIVING OFFERINGS

OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITA NANA HUM PHET [Small one face two arms Yamantaka comes out of right nostril and enters the left

nostril]

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM

Everything becomes void. From a state of void-ness, from AHs come

broad and expansive skull-cups, inside of which are HUMs. The

HUMs melt and become water for the mouth, cooling water for the

feet, perfumes, flowers, incense, a butter lamp, food and music.

By nature they are bliss and void ness. In aspect, they are the

offering substances. Their function is to confer distinguished

uncontaminated bliss as objects to be enjoyed by the six senses.

I prostrate to you, Oh Vajra-Bhairava, Supreme Form, Supremely

Great Furious One, Hero utilizing supreme holy objects; you act

to tame those difficult to subdue.

BHYO.

Chief Lady of the Desire Realm, form of Magnificence,

You run five hundred “pagtse” riding on a mule,

Holding a skull and club, your own symbols,

With upper garment of black cloth and a lower one of snakes.

At your navel, the sun shines, on your crown, the full moon.

Wish-granting supreme gift, richness of space, shining Mother;

To perform respects for the Goddess Remati,

Perform your pledged accomplishing actions of the practice.

In faith we prostrate and make praises to you, supreme one, with

all suitable praises. [MUSIC]

The actions that I have done here, with whatever I could not

find, did not know or could not do, you should be patient with

all of this.

My additions and omissions, part of the ritual that went wrong,

and whatever I forgot, please be patient with this too!

Together with the image here, remain for the sake of sentient

beings and pleas bestow health and long life, riches and the

highest things.

OM SU-PRTISHTHA-VAJRAYE SVAHA [OM FIRMLY-ABIDING VAJRA ONE SVAHA!]

AUSPICIOUS VERSE

Let there be good fortune of the Root and Lineage Gurus!

Let there be good fortune of the host of yidams and deities.

Let there be good fortune of the dakas and dakinis.

Let there be good fortune of the dharma-protectors and guardians.

DEDICATIONS
