While washing the h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> face, a Vajrayanist will<br />

repeat the Mantra of Wang: OM<br />

SARVATATHAGATA<br />

ABHIKINKATA<br />

SAMAYASIHA HUM SVAHA, <strong>and</strong> think of his own<br />

<strong>and</strong> all others' sins washed away, fervently praying that<br />

he may never break the precepts. Also may all sentient<br />

beings get the nectar from the Buddha which will<br />

irrigate the bodhicitta until one gets Full Enlightenment.<br />

7. Brushing the Teeth<br />

Think of the water as the nectar of the Buddha <strong>and</strong> the<br />

brush as washing away the karma of the four kinds of<br />

evil speech. Think, "Today may I not use any of them!<br />

May I not quarrel with anybody! May all quarrels be<br />

finished by this yoga, <strong>and</strong> today may I only speak words<br />

of truth <strong>and</strong> friendliness!"<br />

8. Shaving<br />

When one shaves, think, "May I cut off the roots of the<br />

sorrows, <strong>and</strong> may all sentient beings have the chance to<br />

become bhiksus!"<br />

9. In the Bathroom<br />

While urinating, repeat the mantra: OM O MUDSA<br />

AHA LIBE SVAHA; <strong>and</strong> think, "May this urine be<br />

transformed into fragrant drink to offer to the deity<br />

Ucchusma!" He rules over the many hungry ghosts<br />
