CONFERRING EMPOWERMENT

If you were to zoom in on the peaceful or wrathful deities, you would see that in each of their heart centers is a wisdom being (jnana sattva) who looks identical to it, in a simple unadorned form without ornaments, implements, or symbolic emblems. If you were then to look closely at these wisdom beings, you would discover that within their heart centers is the same symbolic emblem that the deity itself holds, and inside this emblem is the radiant seed syllable from which the deity was originally generated, surrounded by its shining mantra. The wisdom being within each deity is the same color as the deity itself, as is the seed syllable. The specific mantras that encircle the seed syllables can be found elsewhere. The seed syllables and the mantras shine into all directions and invoke the forms of the buddhas of the ten directions to approach.

The buddhas of the five families in union with their consorts appear at the crown of our heads. From the union of each pair appears a stream of nectar that purifies the tendencies for one of the five disturbing emotions.

You should now assume the confidence that the five male buddhas are the purity of the five aggregates (skandhas). The first one, Buddha Vairochana, is the natural purity of the aggregate of forms. Ratnasambhava is the natural purity of the aggregate of sensations. Amitabha is the natural purity of the aggregate of perceptions, and Amoghasiddhi is the natural purity of the aggregate of formations. Lastly, Akshobhya is the natural purity of the aggregate of cognition or consciousness.

But it is not only we who bear a crown, for each of the one hundred deities is similarly crowned with five buddhas; these are not in union, however, but solitary. The buddha related to whichever family the deity belongs is in the center on the top of the head, with the other four on the surrounding sides. For example, for male deities belonging to the lotus family, Amitabha will be in the center with the four other male buddhas surrounding him; the female deities of the lotus family are crowned with Amitabha’s consort, Pandaravasini, and the other four female buddhas.

Imagining each and every deity crowned with the five buddhas, we recite the mantra related to each of the five family buddhas while forming the corresponding mudra. Each mantra relates to one of the five wisdoms:

OM MAHA SHUNYATA JNANA VAJRA SVABHAVA ATMA KOH HANG

OM MAHA ADARSHA JNANA VAJRA SVABHAVA ATMA KOH HANG

OM MAHA SAMATA JNANA VAJRA SVABHAVA ATMA KOH HANG

OM MAHA PRATYA BEKSHANE JNANA VAJRA SVABHAVA ATMA KOH HANG

OM MAHA KRITYA ANUSH THANA JNANA VAJRA SVABHAVA ATMA KOH HANG
