8. Yellow Dzambala Sadhana 7 White OM marks the crown of my head; red AH at my throat; a nd a blue HUNG at my heart. Lord Ratnasambhava adorns one’s crown . Generating and Offering Om Varja Amrita Kundali Hana Hana Hung Phe t Om Svabhava Shuddah Sarva Dharma Sva b hava Shuddho Ham (All phenomena are pure of inherent existence; likewise I am pure of inherent existence.) Everything becomes (seen as) emptiness. From the sphere of emptiness appear eight OM syllables, which transforms into huge, vast, jewelled containers, inside of each is an OM . The letters OM melt into light and reappear in t he form of the offering substances having the three distinctions . ( The three distinctions are nature, aspect and function. By nature they are bliss and emptiness; in aspect they are the offering substances. Their function is to confer distinguished, unco ntaminated bliss as objects to be enjoyed by the six cognitive powers which is the mind and the five senses ) Drinks, cooling water for the feet, flowers, incense, light, perfume, food and music. These are all pure and equal to the limits of the sky. (Consecrate the offerings by reciting) Om Argham Ah Hung Om Padyam Ah Hung Om Pushpe Ah Hung Om Dhupe Ah Hung. Om Aloke Ah Hung. Om Gandhe Ah Hung.
6. Yellow Dzambala Sadhana 5 Emptiness Meditation and Self Generation Om Svabhava Shuddah Sarva Dharma Sva b hava Shuddho Ham (All phenomena are pure of inherent existence; likewise I am pure of inherent existence.) From the sphere of emptiness appears the syllable PAM , it transforms into a lotus with a white AH above it, white AH transforms into a white and full moon mandala. On that appears m y own mind in the form of a yellow syllable DZA . The golden syllable DZA then radiates rays of rainbow s , at the tips of which are oceans of offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Through the grace and kin dness of the Buddhas and Bodhisatt vas, the offerings rain down upon all sentient beings, pacifying them of their suffering of poverty. The rainbow light s rays then reabsorb back into the golden syllable DZA and transforms into Golden Lord Ary a Dzamb ala, with one face and two arms, with the right hand in the gesture of supreme giving, holding the Bijapura (Pomegran a te) fruit and the left hand holding a mongoose from whose mouth a great treasure of jewels and money is constantly being emitted. Oneself appear s as being slightly corpulent and have a gentle, elegant, graceful and peaceful nature. Being in a completely happy and pleasant state of mind , one’s appearance pacifies and subdues anyone who see s and th inks of oneself. One’s eyes are wide open and hair is tied up in a crowning top knot.

Pronouncing short syllable as long and long ones as short.) Blessing The Torma Om Varja Amrita Kundali Hana Hana Hung Phe t Om Svabhava Shuddah Sarva Dharma Sva b hava Shuddho Ham (All phenomena are pure of inherent existence; likewise I am pure of inherent existence.) From within the state of emptiness, arises the syllable DHRUM . From DHRUM arises a broad and expansive jewelled vessel. Inside it, OM melts into light, And from that arises a torma with the three sweets and three whites, Transforming into a great ocean of uncontaminated ocean of wisdom nectar. OM AH HUNG (3x) Invocation of the Guests for the Torma Offering Instantaneously, there appears before me the complete supporting mandala of Arya Dzambala together with his entourage. From the HUNG at my heart, light ray emanate bringing forth the mandala of the wisdom beings together with his entourage. Dza Hung Bam Ho! The wisdom beings become oneness with the front - generated mandal a. From the HUNG on the tongue of (each of) these guests comes a white singlespoked vajra through which each partakes of the offering torma, drawing up its essences through a straw of light.
