Chant the Emptiness Mantra

Om, si-ba-wa, su-da, sa-er-wa, da-er-ma, si-ba-wa, su-do-hang. (3 times)

(1) Above an expanse of ocean is a stretch of clear sunny sky. A moon disc rises from the ocean into the sky. Inside the moon disc is the yellow “Sanskrit seed syllable “zhun”, emitting great white light.

(2) The seed syllable inside the moon disc revolves and transforms into Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Avalokitesvara’s body is a brilliant white and he wears a Five-Buddha Crown and a cassock. Sitting on a many petalled lotus, Ksitigarbha holds a bright precious pearl with both hands.

(3) Visualize the precious pearl sending forth a brilliant white light that travels in an arc to enter one’s body through the crown chakra. As a result, one’s entire body is purified.

(2). The seed syllable inside the moon disc revolves and transforms into a majestic Maha Cundi Bodhisattva whose body is light-yellow. Wearing a crown adorned with the image of a Buddha. Maha Cundi has three eyes and eighteen arms. She wears a white celestial garment and her arms are adorned with ornaments. While the original pair of hands hold the Root Mudra, the other sixteen hands hold the following implememts in a clockwise direction: wish-fulfilling pennant, lotus, bathing vase, lasso, eight-spoke wheel, conch, precious vase, wisdom chest, headdress, vajra scepter, hook, axe, heavenly fruit, mala beads, wisdom sword, and Fearless Mudra.

(3). Visualize the third eye of Mala Cundi Bodhisattva emitting a brilliant white light that arches and enters one’s body through the crown chakra, purifying the body into crystal white.

(4) Visualzie the third eye at Mala Cundi Bodhisattva’s brow-point shine a brilliant light into one’s third eye. Dwell on his visualization with utmost effort. (If one desire to open one’s third eye, one needs to work on this visualization until there is a tingling sensation at brow-point.)

11.Recite the Mala Cundi Heart Mantra

Hold mala beads in front of the chest and move each bead with the thumb during chanting. Visualize the left hand transform into a vajra bell and the right hand into a vajra scepter. The mother bead or emblem transforms into the Many Jewels-Buddha’s Stupa and the four “ divider deads” transform into the Four Deva Kings. The tassel transforms into a “lotus hand” while the string threading through the breads transforms into a circle of inherent white light of Vajrasattva. During mantra chanting, when a bead is moved, visualize Mala Cundi appear inside the bead and become to the forefront.
