QUINTESSENTIAL SPHERE OF ACTIVITY

THE FEAST OFFERING FOR THE SINGLE FoRM OF VAJRA KUMARA FROM THE TRIPLE CYCLE OF THE SECRET ESSENCE, SANGTIG KORSUM

SANGTIG PHURPA FEAST

To the yidam of all supreme siddhas, The great wrathful one, tamer of maras, I humbly make obeisance so that virtuous goodness be bestowed On writing this short manual for offering the feast. For those who wish to offer a feast to this deity but feel unable to use the elaborate sadhana, it is permissible to set up an altar with a paltor, amrita, rakta, the outer offerings, and the feast articles to do the self-visualization and recitation from the root text as much as you can, and without taking the empowerment at the end. Following that, sprinkle the tonna and perform the torma offering and the enjoining of activities. Then, after purifying the feast articles with water, chang and the inner offering, say: ,

Hung Rangjung rigpey yeshe kyi Ram yam kham gi ngodzin jang Drung ley yingkyi kapalar Om hung trang hrih ah namkyi Deshek rig-ngai damtsig dzey Khadok driro ntipar den Om gana tsakra kama guna hung hrih tha HUNG�
