The true nature, the Great Perfection, cuts the root of Samsara with one stroke, thus it transcends the cutter and the cut. But for those who enjoy elaboration and accomplishing the path of mahasiddha activity, I will teach the pith instructions for offering one's body as food. The articles you need to do this are: to overpower the arrogant, a wild animal's skin with the claws intact. To symbolize the ascending view, a small tent, and to show the descending conduct, a khatvanga. To have authority over the demons, a thighbone trumpet. To overpower appearances, a damaru drum. To dominate the hosts of dakinis, have bells, jingle bells, and tassels with chevrons made of tiger skin, leopard skin, cotton cloth and small plaits of human hair. In brief, to practice a mahasiddha's activity, prepare the necessary, suitable things. Then, in a sacred power spot, without having an arrogant mind that insults the demons, or thoughts of the eight worldly concerns, arouse heroic confidence through the four Immeasurables. Whatever appearances arise must be crushed instantly. At that moment, if you don't use your contemplation to overpower appearances, it is as if spies have interpreted your secret message. Therefore, perform fearless activities with awareness. With the sound of PHAT, from your heart center comes a nine-pointed vajra of meteoric iron - solid, firm, heavy and strong. It blazes with light and masses of flames, striking like lightning on that fearful power spot. The hordes of demons dwelling there are unable to scatter and escape. Think that their bravery and strength are broken, and they are stuck there. Then, abandon pretense, shyness and so on, the ordinary doubts and hesitation. With strong confidence in mahasiddha activity, walk in the four different ways. From among these, the best way to walk is with the power of realization of the perfect view. Further, summon all the demons - those of the entire phenomenal existence, the local demons and the demons who wander around. Herd them like goats and sheep into that frightening place where they are powerless. As soon as you arrive at that spot, assume the manner and gestures of blazing wrathfulness. Holding the demons by their feet, swing them around your head three times and think that they crash onto that powerful ground. Forcibly cast down your tent and mat. Even if the demons seem spacious and easy-going, it is impossible that they won't become provoked and frantic. If your yogic discipline is weak and ineffectual, apply this according to the level of your realization..j- /?- <%- *A.-{.- &A$- $A?; de ne rang nyi ke chig gi Then, instantly oneself becomes 3

As the endless generosity of the black feast, gather what has been accumulated since beginningless time by all sentient beings, yourself and others - diseases, obstacles, evil deeds and obscurations.

At that time if you hold your body dear, or fear and hesitation arise in your mind, think that your body does not exist; it has already been given to the demons. Your mind is groundless and rootless; it can't be found by the demons, since even the Buddhas can't see it. Arouse a courageous mind, recognizing deep down that whatever arises is one's own display. There are substantial obstructing demons [external conditions such as the elements, wild animals, outlaws and thoughts of attachment, anger and so on], insubstantial demons [internal conditions such as happy and sad moods], demons of excitement [being conceited about one's own happiness and so on], and demons of uncertainty [doubt, hesitation and so forth]. Shout PHAT and sever those into the space of emptiness. Further, to indicate the times of the day for the feasts: in the morning, in order to complete the two accumulations, increase the white feast as the nature of amrita. At mid-day, in order to purify habitual tendencies, dedicate the striped feast in whatever way is appropriate. In early evening, in order to accomplish a mahasiddha's activity, give the red feast to sever ego-clinging. At night, purify evil deeds by the black feast. All of these change with one's intention, so mainly practice by doing the visualization. At this time no matter what illusory reactions arise, subdue them with the view that is beyond experiences. Once the practitioner has entered the space of meditation, if the swirling demons are difficult to tame, or are not transformed by the great space of meditation, you should do the visualization of the white skeleton: Shouting PHAT, instantly you become the white skeleton, blazing with fire. From that enormous fire another fire arises, which burns the threefold world, particularly the dwelling place of the demons. Finally, dissolve the skeleton and the fire into light and rest in the state of Emptiness. This practice also provides protection against contagious disease. If signs of accomplishment have not arisen, and the malevolent demons target you, visualize your awareness in the form of 25
26 Tröma and spread out the skin of your corrupt body to the extent of the three thousand worlds. On top of that scatter a display of flesh and bones, which the demons and obstructers devour longingly. At that moment, Tröma quickly folds up the fold of skin and ties it with a noose made of snakes and intestines. She whirls it overhead and then smashes it on the ground. Think that the flesh and bones of the demons become pulp, which many wild animals consume. Then, rest in equipoise with space and awareness intermingled. Through that practice, signs of accomplishment will definitely arise. The cruel and obstructing demons will be overcome. The mind that holds everything dear will be given up. It is very important to retain the confidence of the View. At that time, danger may seem like accomplishment, or accomplishment may seem like danger. Or both appear mixed, and habitual tendencies may seem mixed. Practice regarding signs of attaining stability or failure as just experiences. Ultimately, egolessness is Samantabhadri, the great mother Prajnaparamita. Fathom that realization, and you accomplish the practice of Chöd.
