Recite Āḥ at the throat, Hūṃ at the heart, Hoḥ at the navel, Haṃ at the crown of the head, and Kṣaḥ at the secret place. Then, saying Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ, visualize nectar pouring from the inner offering onto the disciple's body for protection. Then, if you wish to elaborate a little, give them a drink of fragrant water mixed from the vase water, and recite: This is your hell water. If you break your vows, it will burn you. If you keep your vows, then the attainments will be accomplished through this vajra nectar water. Recite: Oṃ Vajra Amṛta Udaka Ṭha Ṭha Hūṃ. Visualize that rays of light emanate from the heart of the guru, who is inseparable from Kālacakra, and invite the Bhagavan Kālacakra Vajrasattva into the sky in front. Countless rays of light emanate from his body, speech, and mind, and dissolve into your bodies, blessing your body, speech, and mind. Along with the sound of music, recite: Oṃ Āḥ A Aṃ Aḥ Vajra Sattva Mahā Sukha Vajra Kālacakra Śiñca Sya Abhimukho Dbhrava Santuṣṭo Bhava Varado Bhava. Kāya Vāka Citta Ta Adhiṣṭhānaṃ Kuru Kuru Svāhā. Recite this many times to invoke Vajrasattva. If you like a little elaboration, it is also acceptable to give the twenty-five vows of Vajrasattva, as there is no contradiction. Then, take vase water with incense, and recite the seed syllables of the vase, such as Oṃ Haṃ Haṃ, many times. Just as the gods bathed him at the moment of his birth, so too, with pure divine water, I bathe your body. Recite: Oṃ A I Ṛ U Ḷ Pañca Dhātu Viśodhani Svāhā. With this, bathe and give them a drink. At this time, one practice is to have the disciple offer water with the mantra of the water offering, but since this is related to the vase practice, this is better. If you wish for a very elaborate preliminary, then as explained in the Supreme Empowerment Nectar Source composed by the translator Lotsawa Lodrö Pal (Blo gros dpal, Wisdom Glory), the common and uncommon preparatory practices for the disciple, as well as the rough outer mandala entry rituals, can also be combined. Although these branches are not necessary for the Supreme Empowerment, it is not contradictory to do them according to the disciple's wishes. At the beginning of the main practice, say this: That is, the root tantra

又说，金刚之线是安插的，颜料等是倾倒的，不能用真言的自性来做。如果做了，就难以获得菩提。如是说。上面的灌顶都不是在用颜料等外形布置的坛城中授予的。水灌顶等说是瓶灌顶，也只是那样命名而已，不是四灌顶之中的瓶灌顶，四灌顶是从上面的灌顶中分出来的，这是究竟的续部中所说的。因此，在手印身的坛城中授予瓶灌顶，在莲花（bha ga）的坛城中授予秘密灌顶，在世俗菩提心的坛城中授予智慧智慧世间的灌顶，在胜义菩提心的坛城中授予第四个超世间的灌顶。因此，必须这样理解，而灌顶者都是金刚阿阇黎。也就是，上师时轮金刚的右面身金刚是瓶灌顶，左面语金刚是秘密灌顶，前面意金刚是慧灌顶，后面智慧金刚是第四灌顶，必须生起祈请的意念。首先，为了四种殊胜灌顶普遍的意义，观想具足一切圆满特征的种姓手印，以及充满珍宝的清净刹土，请求献上曼扎。这样说，弟子也献上曼扎，摧毁一切障碍者，时轮金刚我顶礼您。至极不变充满安乐者，智慧身我向您敬礼。空性大悲无分别，菩提心是不变乐。以彼灌顶于我，祈请怙主现在赐予恩德。连同儿子和妻子等，我乃恒时您的属民。乃至菩提心要的边际，我没有其他的救护者。以此共同地祈祷。之后，为了瓶灌顶本身的意义，献上曼扎。为了身体融入身金刚的加持而祈祷说：具德身之金刚持，以不坏金刚三昧，身之金刚者请您，现在加持融入我身。十方安住的诸佛，以不坏金刚三昧，

Furthermore, it is said, "The vajra line is to be inserted, and the pigments are to be poured. This should not be done with the very nature of mantra. If it is done, it is difficult to attain enlightenment." Thus, the higher empowerments are not conferred in mandalas arranged with external forms such as pigments. Even the water empowerment, which is explained as vase empowerment, is merely named as such; it is not the vase empowerment among the four empowerments. The four empowerments are separated only from the higher ones, as stated in the ultimate tantras. Therefore, the vase empowerment is conferred in the mandala of the body of the mudra, the secret empowerment in the mandala of the bhaga, the wisdom-gnosis worldly empowerment in the mandala of conventional bodhicitta, and the fourth transcendental empowerment in the mandala of ultimate bodhicitta. Therefore, it is necessary to understand it in this way, and the empowerer is the vajra master in all cases. That is, one must generate the intention to request the vase empowerment from the right face, the body vajra, of the lama Kalachakra; the secret empowerment from the left face, the speech vajra; the wisdom empowerment from the front face, the mind vajra; and the fourth empowerment from the back face, the wisdom vajra. First, for the general meaning of the four supreme empowerments, visualize the lineage mudra that possesses all complete characteristics, and the pure realm filled with jewels, and request to offer the mandala. Thus, one speaks, and the disciple also offers the mandala, saying: "Destroyer of all obscurations, Kalachakra, I prostrate to you. Supreme, unchanging, filled with bliss, Gnosis body, I pay homage to you. Emptiness and compassion inseparable, Bodhicitta is unchanging bliss. By that empowerment, to me, O Protector, now bestow your grace. Together with sons and consorts, I am always your subject. Until the end of the essence of enlightenment, I have no other refuge." Thus, one prays in common. Then, for the sake of the vase empowerment itself, offer the mandala. To request that the blessings of the body vajra enter the body, one prays: "Glorious holder of the body vajra, By meditating on the indestructible three vajras, O Vajra-holder of the body, Now grant me the blessing to abide. All Buddhas abiding in the ten directions, By meditating on the indestructible three vajras,

You, who possess the vajra, please bless me and others to be fortunate now. Pray like this three times. Again, for the true meaning of the vase empowerment, pray three times: Om Om Prajña Upayo Kalasha Abhishekam Dada Tum Hum Hum Phat. (Tibetan: ཨོཾ་ཨོཾ་པྲཛྙཱ་ཨུ་པ་ཡཽ་ཀ་ལ་ཤ་ཨ་བྷི་ཥེ་ཀཾ་ད་དཱ་ཏཱཾ་ཧཱུྃ་ཧཱུྃ་ཕཊ，Sanskrit Devanagari: ओँ ओँ प्रज्ञा उप यो कलश अभिषेकम ददातुं हुं हुं फट्，Sanskrit Romanization: oṃ oṃ prajñā upa yo kalaśa abhiṣekaṃ dadātūṃ hūṃ hūṃ phaṭ，Literal Chinese meaning: Om Om Wisdom Method Vase Empowerment Grant Hum Hum Phat) Like this. The Tathagatas of the ten directions, invited by the light from the guru's heart, dwell filling the sky. From the white Om syllable on the foreheads of all the Tathagatas, countless white Om syllable lights emanate, entering from your foreheads, filling your entire bodies, purifying the defilements of the body. Visualize that all the Buddhas bless you with the vajra body. After that, play musical instruments. All the Tathagatas of the ten directions, for this disciple's body bindu, and the moment of awakening ceases, after the joy of bliss is complete, pray for blessing to attain the vajra body emanation body, manifest complete enlightenment through the magic net. For the sake of the disciple, the guru prays to the Buddhas. This is the descent of the blessing of the vase empowerment. After that, the true vase empowerment is, the mudra previously offered, blessed to become various consorts. Goddess joy giver, place giver woman, possessing various forms, pleasing to the mind. Take the union, great-minded bodhisattva. Make offerings with the union. Thus, entrust the consort. Touching her breasts with the hand, the bliss arising from that, experiencing the joy of bliss of worldly convention, this is precisely the meaning of the vase empowerment. Thus, in the body mandala of the mudra, having received the vase empowerment, in the practice of mantra becoming a monk, receiving the prophecy of the eighth bhumi of non-retrogression, becoming a son of the Buddha. Thus, communicate. Om Om Vajrasattva Na Vajra Kalasha Abhisheka Na Abhisikto Vajrasattva Putro Acala Bhumi Labdho Hum. (Tibetan: ཨོཾ་ཨོཾ་བཛྲ་ས་ཏྭ་ན་བཛྲ་ཀ་ལ་ཤ་ཨ་བྷི་ཥེ་ཀ་ཎ་ཨ་བྷི་ཥིཀྟོ་བཛྲ་ས་ཏྭ་པུ་ཏྲོ་ཨ་ཙ་ལཱ་བྷཱུ་མི་ལ་ྦྷྡྷོ་ཧཾ་，Sanskrit Devanagari: ओँ ओँ वज्र सत्त्व न वज्र कलश अभिषेका णं अभिषिक्तो वज्र सत्त्व पुत्रो अचला भूमि लब्धो हं，Sanskrit Romanization: oṃ oṃ vajra sattva na vajra kalaśa abhiṣeka ṇa abhiṣikto vajra sattva putro acalā bhūmi labdho haṃ，Literal Chinese meaning: Om Om Vajra Sattva Vajra Vase Empowerment Empowered Vajra Sattva Son Immovable Ground Attained Hum) Thus, have the disciple repeat, one should hold pride, this is the vase empowerment. After that, for the meaning of the secret empowerment, offer the mandala. In order to integrate the blessing of the speech vajra, in the previous verse, replace and recite "Glorious speech vajra holder", pray three times. For the meaning of the true secret empowerment, Om Ah Prajña U
