Foundation of Excellence Seeing that the kind, holy (guru) is the foundation of good qualities, and that proper reliance on him is the root of the path, I ask blessing to rely on him with great respect (born) of constant effort. Knowing the rarity and great significance of this (human body) that is the wonderful basis of an opportunity obtained just once, I ask blessing to generate uninterruptedly, all day and night, the mind that t akes up what is essential (to attain Buddhahood). Remembering that death wi ll swiftly destroy my wavering body and life, which are like bubbles on a stream, and gaining firm recognition that the effects of my white and black act ions will follow me after death like a body’s shadow, I ask blessing to take care always to avoid even the subtlest fault and to accomplish all that is virtuous. Aware of the disadvantages of worldly goods - (for they are) unsatisfying when consumed, untrustworthy, and the door to all suffering - I ask blessing to generate the great str iving: for the bliss of liberation. I ask blessing to take as my essential practice the guidelines of individual liberation (Pratimoksha vows), which are the root of the Dharma, (and to do so) with the great care of mindfulness and introspection

(In all the other sessions, skip one paragraph and continue with ‘She has a dark- ue ody, etc.’ ) In front, in the center of a great-agitated ocean of flesh and blood, is a tentshaped black tornado. Inside it is an orange-coloured young mule with a white spot on its forehead and equipped with saddle and bridle. On top of this is seated Remati, Glorious Queen of War and Ritualistic Power. She has a dark-blue body, one face and two arms. Her right hand brandishes a club. Her left hand holds the skull-cup of a n incest-born child at her heart.
