pustaka-pāṭha-upāya
The way to read the volume
I prostrate before the Three Jewels!
First imagine that you yourself abide on the multicolored lotus and the moon as Vairochana with a white-colored body. Visualize that before him [is] everything acceptable for the benefit of oneself or others. Visualize that for which the practice is done as abiding in the moon.
Then from the syllable of the syllable bhrūṁ, which is on the moon in one's own heart, repeatedly radiate the gold-colored goddess Buddhalochana. Imagine that filling the precious vessel with the nectar of primordial wisdom bestows initiation for the one for whom the practice is performed.
Then carry out the reading of the volume.
Thus concludes the method of reciting the volume compiled by Pandita Danashila.
