Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

meditation freely and without any obstacle, just as the
wind goes where it pleases. Two yellow "A"'s make the
Great Perfection very firm like the earth. One blue "A"
shows that the accomplished yogi's mind has the nature
of sunyata, like the sky. These five different colors are
kept in one straight line of five feet. Then again,
visualize that the red "A"'s contract into the white ones,
the white ones into the green ones, the green ones into
the yellow ones, and the yellow ones into the blue one.
Then withdraw the blue "A" into the heart.
If one only practices the common Vajrayana and not the
Great Perfection, then establish one's sitting position
and with folded hands repeat the vowels and then the
consonants (of the Sanskrit alphabet):
Vowels: A, A:, I, I:, U, U:, RI, RI:, LI, LI:, E, EI, O, OU,
ANG, A.
Consonants: KA, KHA, GA, GHA, NGA, CHA, CHHA,
JA, JHA, NYA, TA, THA, DA, DHA, NA, PA, PHA,
BA, BHA, MA, YA, RA, LA, VA, SHA, KSHA, SA,
HA, KSHYA.
After this, repeat the yidam's incantation, and think that
every Buddha's wisdom has bestowed on you the
capacity to practice meditation without any ignorance.
4. Dressing
Whatever yidam the meditator has taken, one should
think of all one's clothes as belonging to that yidam.
