Everything becomes void. From a state of void-ness, from AHs come broad and expansive skull-cups, inside of which are HUMs. The HUMs melt and become water for the mouth, cooling water for the feet, perfumes, flowers, incense, a butter lamp, food and music. By nature they are bliss and void-ness. In aspect, they are the offering substances. Their function is to confer distinguished uncontaminated bliss as objects to be enjoyed by the six senses.

From the state of void-ness, in front of oneself appears a turbulent great ocean of blood and melted fat. In its centre is a tent-like black, swirling wind. Inside it is a young, yellow, wild mule with a white spot on its forehead and equipped with saddle and bridle of cannibals skulls and skins; saddle strings, rein strings and lead strings are of venomous snakes. Above it, from the syllable BHYO arises Remati, the magnificent Queen of War Sickle. She is blue black, with one face and two hands, brandishing a club marked with vajra in her right hand towards the brains of the destined pledged ones, while her left holds at the heart the skin and blood-filled skull of a child of incest. She is complete with all the ornaments and clothes. Around is an assembly of demons, lords of death, cannibals, field protectors and so on. The principal lady and her retinue are marked at their crowns by OM, at their throats by AH, at their hearts by HUM. From the HUM at my heart light rays are emitted. Instantly, from the Mule Ting great ocean in the north-east, the Powerful Lady of the Desire Realm, Remati, the Magnificent Queen of War Sickle and her retinue are invoked to this very place. [music]

PALDEN LHAMO
BHYO. Magnificent Remati of the Nyen [spirits], War-Sickle sentinel of the Doctrine, In the presence of Vajradhara, you did accept the teachings. Previously during the first Kalpa, You finalized your place of residence, In this north-eastern direction, Without grass, water, trees and so on. Traveling beyond many valleys, You cut the sorrow of the northern red plain, The red northern path runs uncurved gently flowing; The red northern mountain, grand and terrifying, With many wild animals running around, Various goblin-birds send forth their various cries, A great hail of sky iron showers SHAR RA RA, Counch-like snow storm swirls LI-LI, Inside the Mule Ting ocean, is a square brown fortress. Its brown corers are made of brown chong jewels. Its Ka-Be[circumference]are made of blue turquoise. Its black foundation is made of black iron. Human and horse corpses are spread out as plinth, There is an ocean of [vomited] human and horse blood. Extensively surrounded by an assembly of one hundred thousand Mamos, one thousand flesh eaters and ten million blood drinkers, Inside this celestial mansion, Sits the Mistress of the entire Mamos[FEMALE SPIRITS]. BHYO. Magnificent Remati of the Nyen, From your crown and from your womb, The sun and moon emit blazing light rays. Irresistible Black Lady with magic powers, Powerful Lady of the Desire Realm, According to your solemn promise, Now is the time to come here, EH AH RA LI HRIM HRIM DZA DZA Black Lady, lethal and furious, Who displays an all-embracing form, Chief of the Black Ladies, riding a mule, Come here on your mules seat, DZA HUM BAM HO Black cannibal having fangs, Black Lady laughing HA-HA, You who enjoys to kill, I will perform the respect of signals. Although you have reached the spontaneity of the three bodies, You have perfected in compassion. Yet you appear in an infuriated body To subdue the wild beings of the Desire Realms.

In short, the actions done by the power of ignorance, Such as offerings polluted by substances of broken samaya. All our deeds that disagree with your body, speech and mind, We confess with strong regret. Although the act of confession and what is confessed are not really seen, In order to purify the stains of the conception grasping at true existence, I make confession to the Magnificent Goddess and her retinue, May this cleanse all degenerations and defilements. of

Masters who fulfill our minds hopes; Deities of the Yidam mandalas, source of accomplishments; Assemblies of Those Gone Beyond and their Sons, Dakas and Dakinis, And assemblies of powerful Protectors, pay attention to us. Whatever sins we have committed in the past with our three doors, Under the power of bewilderment and inattention, lack of respect and delusion, the forces which delight the demons, We confess them all and separately with strong regret. In particular, I confess in my heart, The transgressions from vowed restraints and pledges, Not discarding what should be discarded and not practicing what should be practiced, Proclaiming secrets, my degenerations and pollutions, whatever faults I have. Although the existing mode of the three circles is all-pure like space, with water of your compassion wash the sins, Downfalls and their results, sickness, demons, sufferings and stains of the relative migrators, and grant them purity. By the blessings of the three time Buddhas and their Sons, By the truth of the infallible dependent origination, And by the force of my pure, superior motive, May all pure prayers be fulfilled.

While in the state of void-ness, from a YAM comes wind; from a RAM comes fire; from AHs a grate of three human heads, on top of which from an AH comes a white skull-cup. Inside it are the five meats and five nectars; on top of these are OM AH HUM. From the HUM at my heart light rays emanate. The wind moves, the fire blazes, and the substances inside the skull-cup melt and boil. From the three syllables, light-rays emanate, hooking back into the three vajras, which dissolve into them. These then fall back into the skull-cup and melt. By means of the HUM, the faults of color, odor and potential are cleansed. By means of the AH, it is transformed into nectar. By means of the OM, it increases and becomes huge. OM AH HUM BHYO.
