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.
