caṇḍa-mahā-roṣaṇa-sādhana

The Practice of Chandamaharoshana

    Using the methods explained earlier, practice meditation on emptiness. Then, visualize a black syllable hūṁ resting upon a white lotus and a sun disc. When this visualization is perfected, the glorious, supremely wrathful Blessed One appears, resembling the atasi flower; he is also known as Achala. He has one face, two arms, and moving eyes. His magnificent face, with fangs firmly clenched, inspires terror. He is adorned with fangs resting against his lower neck and a jeweled head ornament, and he wears a garland of heads. The two eyes are intensely red. The right hand holds a sword. The left hand, positioned at the heart, forms the scorpion mudra while holding a noose. White snakes descend in a pure stream. The figure wears a tiger-skin skirt and is adorned with various jewels. The right knee rests on the ground, while the left is bent slightly less. Fully visualize yourself as being encircled by a garland of sunbeams.
    Having first meditated on the Samayasattva and Jnanasattva, meditate on Akshobhya at the crown of the head. This is followed by the recitation:
    oṁ caṇḍa mahā roṣaṇa hūṁ phaṭ
    Such is the practice of the Fierce One, the Great Wrathful One.
    Translated by Tsultrim Gyaltsen based on the [teachings] of Abhaya.
