The teacher, Vajradhara, Emanated light from his eyes. Then, in order to ripen students, He taught the ritual of conferring empowerment:

“The vajra master, the great ascetic, Has obtained empowerment, replete with secrets. He is disciplined, upright, and a great spiritual friend. In the excellent state of little movement, he obtained the awakened mind. Learned in the maṇḍala ritual, He should bestow empowerment on the foremost student.

“For that, in a place such as a beautiful temple, First train well in disciplined conduct, Then perform the ritual of the ground. Examine, purify, and prepare, Then make offerings and requests. Examine by means of signs in dreams.

“The fire offering should be performed A total of one hundred and eight times with the peaceful ritual. Make offerings to the bhūtas and instruct them; They abide in the center of the maṇḍala.

“From hūṃ, visualize a great vajra. From bhrūṃ, visualize the great celestial palace. The light from the two eyes, the sun and the moon, Annihilates all obstructing forces without exception.

“With the dance movement of the great vajra, Circumambulate the ground three times And smear it with the five substances of a cow, Then arrange the deities in a single group.

“Make offerings, praises, and requests. Place the vase especially well, Then ripen the student in the ritual.

“The ritual of threads and colors Should be done just as the activity ritual.

“Then, with the blue blindfold, Let the students enter. On the vow holders, bestow the fivefold empowerment: The empowerments of the vase, the vajra, The bell, the crown, and the name.

“The activity ritual is the same. On the fourteenth and the thirteenth day, Introduce the students to the activity. The blessings should be transferred gradually, While confidence should be produced immediately.

“This stainless tantra, the precious essence, Is the root of all tantras. It contains the sacred bestowal of empowerment.

“Virtuous vow holders who have been consecrated Through the empowerment based upon the activities of ripening, Which is taught in the supreme tantras, Should please the sacred one with gifts. This is the rite for perfecting liberation, for consecration, And for the maturing of students.”
