RANG-NYID SENG-CH’EN GYEL-PO MAR-SEL DÉ-CH’AK DZEY-PAI NYAM GYA BAR-WA Contemplate as follows: You yourself are the King Great Lion, Gesar, bright red, blazing with hundreds of beautiful experiences of blissful passion.
CH’AK YAY CHAK-KYUI CH’AK-GYA DANG
His right hand is in the symbolic gesture (mudrā) of a hook,
YÖN MÉ-TOK PAY-MAI T’RENG-WA MAR-PO DREN-PA
While his left hand bears a red garland of lotus flowers.
DAR-MAR GYI BER DANG LA-T’Ö CHEN
He wears a cloak and hood of red silk,
NOR-BU DANG MU-TIK MAR-PO UT-PA-LAI T’RENG-WAY DZEY-PA
And is charmingly adorned with red jewels and pearls, as well as garlands of utpala flowers.
ZHAP CH’EY-KYIL-CHEN Ö MAR-POI LONG NA WANG-DZAY WER-MA DANG KHAN-DROI TS’OK KYII KOR-WAI T’UK-KAR PAY-MA MAR-PO DANG NYI-KYIL HRĪH MAR-POI T’AR NGAK KYII KOR-WAI Ö KYII MIK-JA RANG-WANG-MEY-PAR KUK-PAR SAM LA
With his legs resting in the half-lotus position, he abides within an expanse of red light, surrounded by assemblies of magnetizing Battle Spirits and Dākinīs.
In his heart-center is a red lotus, sun maṇḍala (disc), and red HRĪḤ syllable.
As the mantra revolves around the circumference of the HRĪḤ syllable, it issues forth light, which draws in and attracts your desired objectives and aspired aims irresistibly. Recite the mantra as follows:
OṂ MAHĀSIDHA MAṆI RĀJA PADMA HASA PRAMODAPARA HANA HANA/ CH’ÉGÉMO ĀKARŚAYA PAŚAṂ KURU JA JAḤ
Tibetan pronunciation: OṂ MAHĀSIDHA MAṆI RĀDZA PAYMA HASA PRAMODAPARA HANA HANA/ CH’ÉGÉMO ĀKARSHAYA PASHAṂ KURU DZA DZAḤ
[Note: CH’ÉGÉMO (che-ge-mo) is a Tibetan word which means “so-and-so” or "such-and-such". Here, in place of CH’ÉGÉMO, one can insert the name of the specific thing which one wishes to magnetize.]
By reciting thus, signs will quickly appear (that the practice of magnetizing is being accomplished).
Recite the above mantra over the following four (substances): 1) red salt (lan-tshwa dmar-po),
2) elephant’s trunk flower ([me tog] glang-sna, sansevieria zeylanica),
3) grapes (rgun-’brum), and
4) beer (chang).
Afterwards, consume these four substances (by eating them), touch them, and place them in smoke, incense and other scents which are burnt in fire. By doing so, even if they are cast to the wind, they will definitely magnetize. SAMAYA.
This was written on the evening of the nineteenth day of the tenth month of the year of the Earth Guardian (sa-skyong, the 19th year of the 60 year Tibetan astrological cycle, which is the Female Earth Bird Year, or 1909).
