Lion-Headed Dakini
From the state of voidness, from AH comes a vast and expansive skullcup within which from the letters OM AH HUM arises the torma, a great ocean of nectar marked by the three letters OM AH HUM. Light radiates from the syllables and hooks the exalted wisdom nectars, which absorb into the three syllables. They melt into a great inexhaustible ocean of nectar. OM AH HUM HA HO HRIH (3x) Invoke the wisdom beings as above. Then offer the torma as follows: To the principal dakini: OM SINGHA MUKHA DAKINI IDAM BALIMTA KHA KHA KHAHI KHAHI SVAHA (3 - 7x) To the retinue: OM AH KARO MU KHAM SARVA DHARMA NAM ADYANUTPAN NA TVATA NAMA SARVA TATHAGATA AVALOKITE OM SAMBHARA SAMBHARA HUM( 3 - 7x)

Mantra Recitation
Recite the mantra as much as you can: AH KA SA MA RA TSA SHA DA RA SA MA RA YA PHAT
Mantra Recitation
In the center of my heart, residing on a sun-mandala, stands a dark-blue HUM, surrounded by the mantra syllables arranged counter-clockwise. The ames coming from the mantra garland incinerate all maras. Thinking that recite the mantra: AH KA SA MA RA TSA SHA DA RA SA MA RA YA PHAT
Invocation
Instantly I arise as the dakini Simhamukha. At my heart, on a lotus and sunmandala is a dark-blue HUM. From it rays of light shine forth invoking the Guru and the dakini Simhamukha who is summoned by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. OM VAJRA SAMADZAH

Dedication
By the virtue of this May I and all sentient beings Accomplish the state of the dakini. Without leaving a single sentient being behind May I be able to liberate them To the state of the dakini.
Four Immeasurables
May all sentient beings have happiness and its cause. May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its cause. May all sentient beings be inseparable from sorrowless bliss. May all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free of bias, both greed and hatred.
I am in dancing posture with the left leg extended and the right one tucked in, surrounded by the blazing ames of the wisdom re. At my forehead is white OM, at my throat red AH, at my heart dark-blue HUM from which light rays spread forth summoning from Khechara, the place of heavenly enjoyment, the wisdom-being surrounded by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. OM VAJRA SAMADZAH DZA HUM BAM HOH I become one with the wisdom beings. Then again from the HUM at the center of my heart, light rays shine forth summoning the ve Buddha families and their retinue. OM VAJRA SAMADZAH
Self-Generation
OM SVABHAVA SHUDDHAH SARVA DHARMA SVABHAVA SHUDDHO HAM Everything becomes void. From the state of emptiness appears a syllable PAM which becomes a lotus, and a syllable RAM which becomes a sun, on top of which appears a HUM. From the HUM rays of light shine forth establishing the vajra-ground. Around it is a vajra-fence, and above it a vajra-tent, all surrounded by the blazing re of wisdom. In the center of the vajra-tent is the syllable EH which transforms into a dark-blue dharmakara (ch chung). In the center of the dharmakara is a lotus and a sun mandala. On top of the corpses of the Maras stands my mind in the form of a dark-blue HUM from which light rays emanate destroying all demons and gathering all the powers and accomplishments of the dakas and dakinis to be absorbed into the HUM. Due to that I myself arise out of the HUM as the wisdom dakini Simhamukha. My body is dark-blue in color with one face, two arms and three red rounded eyes. My mouth shows the bared fangs with the tongue curled upwards, looking extremely ferocious. In my right hand I am holding a vajra-handled curved knife (drigug) up in the air; in my left hand, at the heart level, I am holding a skullcup lled with blood. On my left shoulder leans a khatvanga with three points at its top. My hair, mustache and brows are yellow-red, streaming upwards. A crown of ve skulls adorns my head; a necklace made of fty freshly cut human heads, still dripping with blood, hangs around my neck. Wearing tiger-skin skirt I am ornated with the ve bone ornaments.

Empowerment
Then, the initiation is requested from them saying: Please bestow the empowerment on me. Then the tathagathas say: OM VAJRI BHAVA ABHISHEKATA SAMAYA HUM My whole body is lled with initiation water from the vase and is puried of all its delements. The water overowing the crown of my head is the totality of becoming, out of which appears a blue ve-pointed vajra to adorn the head.
