Spreading to us, may we obtain the power to accomplish immeasurable benefits for beings, becoming equal to the Tathagatas in body, speech, and mind. Furthermore, may those rays of light gather together, pervading the mantra water in the vase, pacifying unfavorable conditions with mere touch, and becoming the nectar purifier that generates glory and well-being. Pervading the bodies, retinues, and all implements of those to be trained, including ourselves, may all diseases and harms be eliminated, may we be separated from all faults of body and mind, and may we become suitable vessels for the Dharma. As we visualize the noble ones as if directly present, and recite the dharani, may the Tathagatas and their retinue realize various doors of samadhi and limitless words and phrases, and may they purify and bless us. After dedicating with these words of truth, generate certainty in the granting and activities of the noble ones, and visualize that it manifests as dedicated. Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Shakya Munaye Svaha. Recite as much as possible. Then, offer the torma and bestow the empowerment: the torma for the deceased and the three-part torma as previously described, and bestow the empowerments of the Hearer Vehicle according to the empowerment ritual. Then comes the subsequent ritual: Offer with "Offerings are stainless and completely pure, various and vast, and each with great power, appropriately and blissfully combined." Confess transgressions with "Not obtained completely," etc. If it is a painting, then stabilize it with "Here is the form," etc. If it is colored powder, then invite them back with "Om, your," etc. Aspiration: By whatever merit is accomplished through this effort, may all beings in the world attain the state of the Sage. The sole medicine for the suffering of beings, the source of all happiness, may the teachings, along with gain and respect, abide for a long time. May the world be happy and the years be prosperous, may grains increase and livestock flourish, may all sources of goodness arise, and may all wishes of the heart be fulfilled. By the compassion of the unsurpassed guru, and by the blessings of the truth of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Arhats, may the dedication and aspiration be accomplished. Then comes the auspicious verses:

On the ground spread with precious gem sand, depict the external interdependent causes and explanations. The six: tree roots, sprouts, trunks, leaves, flowers, and fruits; and the six factors that facilitate connection: sky, wind, fire, water, earth, and the colors or names of the four seasons such as spring. For internal interdependence, draw the images of the twelve links of dependent origination, such as the ignorant old woman. Around it, surround with lotus, vajra, and light garland, symbolizing the three realms. The central hub is yellow. Around it, decorate with twelve petals, and the remaining colors as usual. In the deity places, place body representations, embossed images or tsha-klis of the respective deities. In the same position as the main deity, place speech representations such as scriptures like the Noble Dependent Arising Sutra, and stupas with the Essence of Dependent Arising inserted as relics for mind representation. Around the mandala, offer offerings, and in front, place a vase as usual, but with the distinction of hanging a skull mark, filled with a mixture of precious grains, medicines, spices, and river water. On the surface of a mirror, write the Essence of Dependent Arising seven times with juice mixed with ground white sandalwood powder, reciting it seven times for each writing, and then place it on the vase. Also, arrange material power tsha-klis, clean and blessed food offerings, and three portions of tormas as appropriate. In front of oneself, gather all necessary items such as incense burners, scattered flowers, and musical instruments. Then, the ritual: After bathing and prostrating to the Three Jewels, sit on a cushion. The sequence of meditating on the four immeasurables: Homage. To the Three Jewels, the unsurpassed, arising from interdependence, past, future, and present, I always take refuge. Recite three times. For the sake of liberating sentient beings arising from interdependence, I generate the supreme Bodhicitta. Recite three times. May all sentient beings have happiness, etc., also recite three times. Then, momentarily rest in the state where grasping of the self of person and the self of phenomena as inherently existent is not established. From that state, view all phenomena as like interdependent illusions, and in an instant, on top of the vase, a fully complete mandala of the moon appears.
