Visualize: the nectar you are about to eat and all water, light, flowers, incense, and food offerings. Then say the multiplying mantra three times:

OM NAMO BHAGAVATE

VAJRA SARA PRAMARDANE TATHAGATAYA

ARHATE SAMYAKSAM BUDDHAYA

TA YA THA

OM VAJRE VAJRE

MAHA VAJRE

MAHA TEJA VAJRE

MAHA VIDYA VAJRE

MAHA BODHICHITTA VAJRE

MAHA BODHI MANDO PASAM KRAMANA VAJRE

SARVA KARMA AVARANA VISHO DHANA VAJRE SVAHA

Think: numberless Buddhas receive numberless offerings and generate great bliss. Then with hands in the mudra of prostration, offer to all direct gurus in the Lama Chopa merit field [visualize this lineage of gurus in the sky]; prostrate and make offerings to all the ten direction Buddhas and to all the statues, Stupas, scriptures, and thangkas throughout the worlds. All these are in essence the root (one’s main) guru. They are empty from their own side. Generate great bliss!

Finally: offer to all beings in the six realms; think that they are liberated and attain Enlightenment.

Ho! At the dharmachakra center of the heart

Indestructible subtle wind and mind

Inseparable with supreme merit field

Gurus’ assemblies, mind-sealed deities

To you we offer desire enjoyments

Of this circle of magnificent tsog.

Please take by being pleased and satisfied

In a state of uncontaminated bliss

Grant us the holy body, speech, and mind.

Please grant blessings to achieve in this life

Mahamudra profound vajra yoga

Inseparable with method and wisdom.

With every mouthful, continue the yoga of eating and drinking with this meditation.

With each drink and bite of food, offer it to yourself as the guru deity. In this way, one collects merit far greater than if you had offered this to all the numberless past, present, and future Buddhas, Dharma, and Sangha and all the ten directions’ holy objects, statues, scriptures and Stupas. With the practice of this yoga, the food does not become pollution to your mind, a poison to be born in the lower realms, or a cause to block realizations. Eating only becomes great purification and collects most extensive merit; so each time it brings you closer to Enlightenment and makes your life more beneficial.
