The twentieth (chapter), the ritual for meditating on purity, from the secret instructions of glorious Heruka. Even if one is wise, one's own intelligence is insufficient. For the secret instructions of glorious Heruka, because I am arrogant as a king, therefore, strive to learn it and practice with respect. After the activities are completely done, offer to the supreme guru with the ritual. The essence of omniscient wisdom, the guru gives it with joy. From obtaining the precious secret instructions, self-blessing becomes great yoga. This is definitely pleasing, and enlightenment is attained when the guru is pleased. Therefore, the guru himself is the Victorious One, and here is the Vajradhara, the supreme Dharma realm. From the good deeds of the gurus, there is nothing that will not please them. Whoever acts first here, should offer to the desire deity with it. The activities of burnt offerings and auspicious days, the constellations must be determined and distinguished. When the yogi's mind is perfected, there is no need for offering, meditation, and recitation. Distinguishing auspicious days, conjunctions, and constellations, there is also no mind to benefit. Any conjunction is offering meditation, that is recitation and fire offering, that is determination and conjunction, that is the distinction of auspicious days and so on. Therefore, the yogi should manifest joy and constantly show respect. Always have great respect for the lotus at the feet of the guru. Having practiced the secret instructions of glorious Heruka, whatever arises from my virtue, may all beings become Heruka through obtaining the precious secret instructions. The self-blessing called the secret instructions of glorious Heruka is completed. Because of fear of errors in the guru's secret instructions, I write here. To this, virtuous individuals should be tolerant with mantra wisdom. Made by glorious Tingdzin Dorje, who reveres the dust of the lotus feet of the great wise teacher Pal Zangpo, blessed by glorious Manjushri.
