Consecration of the Ritual Cake

OM AH HUM HO HAM KSHAH.

OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH, SARVA DHARMAH SVABHAVA SHUDDHO ‘HAM. Everything becomes devoid.


Within a state of voidness, from YAM, comes disc of wind, black, with a shape like a bow, marked with victory banners. On top of it, from RAM, comes a disc of fire, red, triangular, marked with blazing flames. On top of that, from AH’s come a grate of three moist human heads, on top of which, from OM, comes a skullcup, with a single fissure, white on the outside, red on the inside, in the middle of which, on a lotus, red with eight petals, from A I RI U LI and LII UU RII II AA, come the five nectars and the five types of flesh, marked with these letters once more.


The light-rays of the HUM at my heart rouse the wind to blow, the fire to blaze, the ingredients in the skullcup to melt and boil.


On the palms of my left, then my right, then both hands in common and then in their center, resting on a moon, then a sun, then a Rahu, then Kalagni, are an OM, then an AH, then a HUM, then a HO, from which light-rays emanate out.

From the hearts of every Vajra Body, then Vajra Speech, Vajra Mind and then Vajra Deep Awareness, they hook back in deep awareness nectars which, by merging into one with these nectars for bonding me closely, cleanse them of their stains, increase them to abundance, endowing them with a tantalizing flavor, make them blaze with radiance and then transform them into untainted deep awareness nectars.


Offering the Torma Ritual Cake

The light-rays of the HUM at my heart invite from its natural abode the mandala of glorious Kalachakra, the Vanquishing Master Surpassing All, so that those within will draw this up through the tube of light of the single-spoked vajra of their tongues and partake of it.

OM AH HUM HOH – Glorious Kalachakra, together with your entourage, I present you with this torma cake, perfume, flowers, incense and lamps, none of which will ever run out. Come here quickly with your entourage and partake of this torma cake; consume it, imbibe it, JAH HUM BAM HOH, to your heart’s content. I request you, please, to bring about for all limited beings pacification, increase, safeguarding, protection, and concealment, HUM HUM PHAT; do exactly what Vajradhara has said – SVAHA. (3x)


Outer Offerings

GANDHAM PUSHPAM, DHUPAM DIPAM, AKSHATAM NAIVIDYEM, LASYEM HASYEM, VADYEM NRITYEM, GITYEM KAMEM PUJAM KURU KURU SVAHA.


Praise

I prostrate to you, O glorious Kalachakra. With a nature of voidness and compassion, you neither take birth in the three planes of existence, nor perish away. Your enlightening bodies, as ways of knowing and what are known, possess the same source.

I bow to you, Kalachakra. Having rid yourself of unions of vowels with consonants, and those with the syllables HUM and PHAT, you've an enlightening body born from what is unchanging.


Dissolution

The guests for the torma ritual cake, the supporting mandala and those supported within, dissolve into me.
