Translations of Explanations, Tengyur (bstan 'gyur (sde dge))

The Tengyur (bstan 'Gyur) is one of the canonical collections of texts that include commentaries, hymns, and treatises composed by Indian teachers of the past. There are several different editions of the Tengyur. In this case the catalog is based on the Tengyur of the Dege edition. The catalog will be gradually enlarged and new sections will be opened. At present, there is still a so-called upper cut on the general content. The number of texts and volumes will also be indicated in the course of the work. It should be mentioned at once that the Kangyura catalog may not coincide with the one presented by Tohoku. This may be due to the fact that when compiling the catalog on the site - the entire collection of texts is proofread, rather than translating the overview catalog, which is one of the volumes of this collection.

Calculation of the five families of dakinis

On any day of the dakini [family] of Vajra there will be harm that comes from pishacha demons, mara demons, mamo demons, demons of death. Regarding illnesses, if the feet and ribs are tingling and twisting, diseases of ravaging nausea and tumors will manifest. There will be harm done by the nagas and demons of Sen. There will be benefit if one exercises the blessings of the five kinds and [recites the mantras of] interdependent arising. If there will be no benefit, then when you make the form of a black dog and a black raven inside a ceramic cup, place it at the edge of a large stream [river or road] in an easterly direction, performing it as a ritual of redemption among the clamorous trees.
