Next take the ornamental sprinkler, or the kusa stems, in the right hand and having dipped it in
the action vase water or the cleansing water, starting from the left and circling to the right
sprinkle the cleansing water and utter the action mantra three times over the hearth, the
materials to be offered and so forth, and then over oneself. After that, having taken up the inner

All becomes void. From a state of voidness, from AH's come broad and expansive skull-cups
inside of which are HUM's. The HUM's melt and become water for the mouth, cooling water for
the feet, perfumes, flowers, incense, light, food and music and so forth. . By nature they are
bliss and voidness. In aspect they are the offering substances. Their function is to confer
distinguished, uncontaminated bliss as objects to be enjoyed by the six senses.

with stems of kusa, the tips pointing east held in the shape of an oxs ear. After laying the kusa
and having joined the palms, still holding the vajra and bell, say,
Bhagawan Vajrasttva, please pacify all hindrances and bestow auspiciousness.
With this request, the preparatory rituals are concluded.
OM SVABHAVA SUDDHAH SARVA DHARMAH SWABHAVA SUDDHO HAM
The hearth becomes void. From the sphere of voidness arises a moon, upon which from SAM
and a vajra comes a white Vajradhara with three faces, white, dark blue and red, and six arms, the
first pair of which embrace a consort similar to himself. The lower right two hold a vajra and
sword, and the lower left two hold a jewel and lotus. From their melting arises a white circular
wisdom hearth, clear and unobstructed, together with the inner and outer rims. The outer rim is
decorated with a vajra garland and the four corners with a half moon and vajra. In the hearth,
from RAM arises a triangular fire at the center of which at the hub of the variegated lotus, from
RAM arises a rosary. Form the complete transformation of that arises a white fire deity with
three faces, white, black and red and six arms, abiding eternally inseparable from his consort. In
this first right hand is a rosary, the second is in the mudra of Fearlessness and in the third is a
curved knife. His first left hand holds a triple tipped club, the second a holy water vessel and the
third a skull. He stands with left leg extended, adorned with all the wrathful ornaments. At his
heart is a triangular fire marked by RAM. From the seed syllable at the commitment beings
heart light rays send forth the wrathful Takki-raja, who invites from the south-east the fire deity
and his retinue similar to the one meditated on.
Having visualized this, holding the right hand in the mudra of Fearlessness, wave the thumb and
say,
OM Come here, come here Great Element,
Highest Brahmin, sage of the gods,
In order to partake of the food to be offered
Please approach here perfectly.
OM TAKKI HUM JAH
Rest upon the Kusa seat on the outer rim of the fire quarter of the hearth.
Saying the action mantra and sprinkling the cleansing water expel the hindrances drawn from
outside.
Then saying,
OM MUNGARA JAH OM DANDA HUM OM PADMA BAM OM KHANGA HOH
bring them under control. Make the mudra of embracing, holding the vajra and bell, then snap
the fingers.
The cleansing water:

OM AGNAYE SVAHA
to this add the appended lines of request.
At this time investigate whether there are any hindrances in the fire or not. If there are, follow
the method of eliminating them as stated in The Great Ritual Fire Offering.
( A footnote from The Ritual Fire Offering for Peace of Vajrayogini):
Having examined at this point whether there are any hindrances in the fire, if there are, sprinkle
the cleansing water and then offer seven scoops of clarified butter attaching the words, "and all
hindrances to Khandaroha SANTIM KURUYE SVAHA", to the
appended lines. After again sprinkling the cleansing water offer one, three or seven scoops of
clarified butter with the mantra OM AGNAYE..... VAHANAYA SVAHA.
If there are no hindrances this is not necessary.
The Actual Offering of the Materials to be Burned
The offering sticks:
Then fragrant, thornless, sappy sticks, anointed at the ends with both butter and honey, having a
length of twelve finger-widths and the thickness of the little finger, should be offered, either in
pairs or individually, with the tips towards the deity. They should be held between the thumb and
ring finger in the mudra of Best Bestowing, (while saying)
All the offerings sticks become of the nature of Bodhi-wood.

To make offerings to the supra mundane fire deity first bless the offerings saying,
OM HRIH SHTRIH VIKRITANANA HUM PHAT
OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM
All becomes void. From a state of voidness, from AH's come broad and expansive skull-cups

Generating the Deity and his celestial mansion.
In the center of the blazing triangular fire at the heart of the fire deity is a square four door
celestial mansion. It has walls of five gradations in thickness, which from the outside are white,
yellow, red, green and blue. On top of the walls is an encircling yellow jeweled molding,
beautified with an assortment of gems. Halfway to the center of the mansion, on the floor and
the ceiling are circular ledges marked with a garland of vajras, between which rest the eight
pillars that support the four vajra cross-beams. The steeple on top is beautified with a crowning
precious jewel and a vajra. Around the top of the walls is a quadruple colonnade and on the
outside face are the heads of dolphins. Between their mouths hang strands of jewels and three
strings of gems with a golden bell and yak-tail fans at their ends. In such ways it is beautified.
10
On the outside face of the quadruple colonnade, above each dolphin's head is an eve from which
hangs jeweled pendants and upon which rests an upright parapet in the shape of a half lotuspetal. The parapet is beautified with banners, pennants and so forth. Encircling the outside of
the walls is a red ledge on which stand goddesses holding objects of offering. At the outside
corners of the entrance-way corridors and on the platform outside and inside the four corners of
the mansion are arrayed crescent-moons with a vajra and jewel on top of each. Before each of
the four doors is an archway having eleven layers and resting on four pillars. On top is a
Dharma-wheel flanked to the right and left by a stag and a doe.
At the center of the celestial mansion, from YAM arises a black air mandala tinged with red,
upon that a variegated lotus, moon and sun seat, upon that from a HUM, a vajra marked by a
HUM. From its complete transformation arises the great Shri Vajra Bhairava nine faces, thirtyfour arms and sixteen legs, standing in the pose of right legs bent and left outstretched.
Able to devour the lords of the three realms, he diabolically chortles "HA-HA", his tongue
darting and fangs bared, his mouth wrinkled in anger, his brows also wrinkled in anger, his eyes
and eyelashes fiery like the eon of destruction and his orange hair bristling erect. Making
threatening mudras at both the mundane and transcendental gods, I frighten even the frightful
Ones. Bellowing a great thunder-like roar "PHEM" I eat human blood, grease, marrow and fat,
and have five dried fearsome skulls crowning each of his heads.
With a skull-rosary of fifty moist human heads, two black snakes as brahmin-threads, I am
adorned with ornaments made of human bones, such as wheel-shaped crowns, ear-rings and so
forth. His belly is bulging, his body is naked, his organ stands erect. His eye lashes, eye-brows,
moustaches and body hair blaze like the fires of the eon of destruction.
His main face is that of a black buffalo, extremely furious and having two sharp horns. On top of
which is a red face, extremely fearsome with blood dripping from its mouth. On top of which is
the golden face of Manjushri with a slightly wrathful expression adorned with the flower
ornaments of youth, his hair tied in five knots upon his crown. His faces at the base of his right
horn are blue, red and yellow. At the base of his left horn, white, gray and black. Each of these
faces are very wrathful and have three eyes.
His first pair of hands hold aloft the moist skin of an elephant stretched open by its left legs, it's
head to his right and its hairy back showing. His other right hands hold in the first a cleaver, the
second a quill, the third a wooden pestle, the fourth a fish knife, the fifth a harpoon, the sixth an
adze, the seventh a spear and the eighth an arrow. In the back row, the ninth an iron-hook, the
tenth a skull-club, the eleventh a khatavanga, the twelfth a wheel, the thirteenth a five-spoked
vajra, the fourteenth a vajra-hammer, the fifteenth a sword, and the sixteenth a large damaru.
His other left hands hold in the first a skull-cup filled with blood, the second a head of Brahma,
the third a shield, the fourth a leg, the fifth a lasso, the sixth a bow, the seventh intestines, and the
eight a bell. In the back row, the ninth a hand, the tenth a cloth shroud, the eleventh a man
impaled an a stick, the twelfth a fire-stove, the thirteenth a scalp, the fourteenth a hand in the
threatening-mudra, the fifteenth a trident with three hanging pennants and the sixteenth a stick
with cloth-streamers at the end.
As for his right feet, the first treads on a man, the second a buffalo, the third a bull, the fourth a
donkey, the fifth a camel, the sixth a dog, the seventh a sheep and the eighth a fox. As for his left
11
feet, the first treads on a vulture, the second an owl, the third a crow, the fourth a parrot, the fifth
a hawk, the sixth an eagle, the seventh a mynah bird, and the eighth a swan.
Also trod upon are Brahma, Indra, Vishnu and Rudra under the right and six faced Kumara,
Ganesh, Chandra and Surya under the left, as I stand in the midst of a blazing mass of flames.
BLESSING THE SENSE ORGANS AND THE THREE DOORS
On each of his eyes is a white KSHIM in the nature of Kshiti-garbha.
On each of his ears a black JRIM in the nature of Vajrapani.
On his nose a yellow KHAM in the nature of Khagarbha.
On his tongue a red RAM in the nature of Avalokitesvara.
On his forehead a green KAM in the nature of Sarva-nivarana-viskambini.
On his navel a white SAM in the nature of Samantabhadra.
At his crown of his head is a white OM in the nature of Vajra-Body.
At his throat is a red AH in the nature of Vajra-Speech.
At his heart is a blue HUM in the nature of Vajra-Mind.
MEDITATING ON THE THREE BEINGS
As the Commitment Being, he has on a moon disc at his heart the Wisdom Being, Youthful
Manjushri with a golden-coloured body and slightly wrathful expression, right hand wielding a
sword and left holding a scriptural-text at his heart. Sitting with legs crossed in the vajraposition, he is adorned with the thirty-two major and eighty minor marks of a Buddha. In his
heart, from an AH, comes a sun-disc on top of which is the Concentration Being, a dark-blue
HUM with five-coloured rays of light.
Then holding the vajra and incense in the right hand, melodiously recite the invitation:
JAH Manjursri, who is of the nature of the actuality of all phenomena,
Having no abode, like space, neither coming or going,
Like the sphere of time, compassion is divorced from coming and going,
Like a reflection, the emanation is free of going,
Not possessing the definition of coming and going,
Like the moon in water it appears anywhere.
The deities who are to be invoked today,
Manjursri, the wisdom of all the Buddhas,
Bhairava Yamantaka, whose purpose is to tame the malignant,
Yama and his retinue, the excellent emanations,
Please come and abide here out of concern for me.
INVITING THE WISDOM BEINGS
OM HRIH HABO MAHA KRODHA AGACCHA AGACCHA ASMAD PUJA PRATI
GRIHANTHU PRASADA MEDHI MANA KURU SVAHA
From the HUM at his heart light-rays emanate, bringing forth into the space before me the
supporting mandala of the glorious solitary hero Vajra Bhairava and its supported Deities, similar
to what I have visualized.

King of fire gods empowered by Takki (desire),
Whose supreme wisdom burns all delusion.
I completely bow down to the holder fire god.
Son of Brahma, Lord of the World,
The supreme seer, the fire god's king,
Who, in order to give protection to all Bhutas,
By the power of compassion emanated a body
In the manner of seer accomplishing the knowledge mantra.
The light of his wisdom, which consumes delusion,
Blazes brilliantly like the fire at the aeon's end.
Possessing clairvoyance and magical power,
Mounted on the emanation of skillful means,
Uttering the mantra and holding a rosary,
He holds the khundi possessing the essence of nectar.
Cooling with the nectar of Dharma,

He is transcendent although residing in the world,
Through having attained peace has great compassion,

The wisdom beings of the fire deity depart to their own abodes.
The commitment beings become a blazing fire.
Then if milk pudding has been prepared, offer it here. Then say the Prayer of Aspiration and the
verses of auspiciousness of the particular deity for whom the ritual was performed. This
concludes the explanation of the Ritual for Peace.
This Ritual, (Fire Offering for Peace of the Thirteen Deity Sri Vajrabhairava) was complied
by the Buddhist monk Losang Yeshe, the second Panchen Lama, 1663-1737), after carefully
consulting the Ritual Fire Offerings of Guhyasamaja, Heruka, and Vajrabhairava and
many others written by previous holy masters. It is based on the customary recitation ritual
of the Tantric College of the Great Monastery of Tashi Lhunpo.
