The main refuge is the protector of all beings, the Victorious One, who strives to save beings, the mighty one who dispels all fears. Deceased, we take refuge in you! The Dharma understood in his heart, which eliminates the fear of samsara, and also to the assembly of Bodhisattvas, likewise, deceased, we take refuge. Seeing the great fear of the deceased, offer the deceased to Samantabhadra. To Manjushri, I offer the body of the deceased. To the compassionate Avalokiteshvara, whose actions are unerring, I cry out in distress. Please protect this sinful one. To the noble Akashagarbha and Kshitigarbha, and to all who are the essence of compassion, I seek refuge from the bottom of my heart, crying out in distress. Those who, when seen, cause the messengers of Yama and other hateful beings to flee in terror in all directions, I take refuge in Vajrapani. In the past, I transgressed your commands, but now, seeing great fear, I take refuge in you, please quickly dispel the fear. The deceased, so-and-so, from this time until reaching the essence of enlightenment, the compassionate lama with lineage, the deity, the lord, the Three Jewels, and the Bhagavan who completely purifies all the lower realms, the compassionate lord, the deity assembly of Akshobhya with its retinue, and all the eight close sons of the Bodhisattvas, I prostrate and take refuge.

Herein is contained the work entitled "Clarity." Homage to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! Whose form is the appearance of deities in the mirror-like wisdom, unstained by the defilements of grasping and fixation, I pay homage to the well-established, unmoving protector, And here I will explain the supplementary notes to the ritual. Here, regarding the ritual of the Bhagavan Akshobhya, there are two approaches: one based on painted images and the other on sand mandalas. The first is easier to understand, and it is assumed that the ritual is completed in one day. I have already compiled a concise and clear explanation of this method. Based on that text, if we discuss the sand mandala aspect here, there are two main points: first, the approach, and second, the sequence of activities for the mandala. The first has two parts: recitation with yoga and regular recitation. The first is: having first performed bathing and cleansing, in a secluded place, arrange offerings as available before the Buddha's image, and three tormas. Sit on a comfortable seat, and begin with the blessing of the offerings, then proceed with the self-generation as a deity, and the offering and praise. In the heart of the practitioner, visualize the main deity Akshobhya, the chief among the five Tathagatas, residing in the center of a moon mandala. On it, the mantra syllables appear like a coiled snake. From this, light radiates, illuminating all realms of the world, purifying the sins and obscurations of all sentient beings, and stimulating the minds of all Buddhas. The light then gathers back and dissolves into oneself, purifying all the negative karma and obscurations accumulated from beginningless lifetimes. Without distraction, recite as much as possible. When ending the session, again make offerings, praises, dedications, and aspirations. During the breaks between sessions, engage in circumambulation and other virtuous activities such as making stupas. At the end of the evening session, offer the three tormas and contemplate the guardians of the directions facing outward in the corners of the practice room until the approach is completed, performing the work of protecting against obstacles. During the second torma offering, contemplate that the assembly of gods, nagas, and spirits are pleased with the practitioner and, with the intention of protecting against obstacles, return to their respective abodes.
