Visualization and mantra recitation
Above the crown of your head, the transcendental wisdom of all the Buddhas manifests as White Tara. Her body is in the nature of radiant white light. She has one face and two arms. Her right hand is on her right knee in the gesture of granting supreme realizations, and her left hand at her heart holds the stem of an utpala flower. Youthful and beautiful, she is seated in the vajra posture. She has all the signs and marks of a Buddha and has seven eyes (face, palms, soles, third eye). She looks at you and all sentient beings with complete acceptance and compassion.
At Tara’s heart is a horizontal white moon disk. At its centre is the white syllable TAM, the essence of her enlightened realisations. Light rays shine forth from the TAM and hook back all the life force that has been scattered or lost. This dissolves into the TAM in the form of light. Again light rays radiate from the TAM and hook back the power and inspiration of all the Buddhas, bodhisattvas and those who have attained the realisation of long life. This dissolves into the TAM. Also, the essence of the four elements of earth, water, fire and air, as well as the space element, absorb into the TAM in the form of coloured nectar-light (white, yellow, red, green, blue).
From the TAM at her heart, light and nectar now flow into your body. They fill your entire body, dispelling all negative karma, disturbing attitudes, negative emotions, disease, interferences, and dangers of untimely death. All these leave your body in the form of dirty liquid, and your body becomes pure and clear. Your mind too becomes clear and blissful.
While doing this visualization, recite 21 times.
Ttayatha om bekandze bekandze, maha bekandze, radza samudgate soha.
Ttayatha om bekandze bekandze, maha bekandze, radza samudgate soha.
