Homage to the lama and the Great Mother. “Mahamudra Chod” pres¬ents the enlightened perspective of the middle turning [of the wheel of Dharma] in conjunction with the Mantra yana activities for training in awareness.

It is a radical method for cutting through the inflation of ego-fixation through the willingness to accept what is undesirable, the dis¬regard of difficult circumstances, the realization that gods and demons are one’s own mind, and the understanding that oneself and others are utterly equal.

Not understanding it as such, [going around] saying hung hung pe pe while seeing the enemy in one’s own deluded projections and engaging in all kinds of outrageous behavior in the hopes of defeating demons .and bad spirits, or to gain fame, notoriety, and food, is known as perverted Chod and is an egregious aberration of this approach. So right from the start, focus your mind in the right direction.
