First go for Refuge and generate the Awakening Mind (of bodhicitta). Then recite the Root Mantras of the Meditation Deities (yi-dam), such as the Vajra Guru [Mantra], as much as possible. After that, purify with:

[Tibetan pronunciation:
RANG YANG KHANG]
Transform into ambrosial nectar (amṛta) with:
OṂ ĀH HŪṂ
[Tibetan pronunciation:
OṂ ĀH HŪNG]
