For this offering to the Bodhisattva Kongtse: on top of one bushel of barley place a five-pointed divine food-offering; a yak and a sheep, and tormas for the eight classes of worldly powers at the edge. Affix an arrow with a white cloth… a white yak, a ransom effigy, the smoke of frankincense, and a burnt offering of butter, and then meditate.

From the void there comes divine citadels that are respective dwellings formed of precious things: east, white; north, green; west, red and south, blue, with the upper part and the base formed of jewels and gold. All the outer circles are transformed into the divine citadel. A ŌM HŪM RAM DZA. Having said this, then recite as follows: visualise, in the heart of our patron and patroness is the syllable A; on the crown of their head is the syllable ŌM, and at their navel the syllable HŪM, and below the navel the syllable DZA.

satisfy them with these enjoyable luxuries. Now, open the door of the mdos. If the doors of the four directions are not opened, where can this secret gto ritual be performed? Hey! Now, for the opening of the door of the mdos, open it on the east; show the way of the gto ritual, orient it to the east. Protect the community from the Fragrance-eaters in the east.

Do not be jealous, do not be angry! Angry pale tiger, lord of the place, do not show hostility, do not become angry, and do not inhibit the gto ritual, the yas offerings and the ransom; receive this excellent golden libation; open the path of the mdos, clear the path of the yas offerings! Sink your noxious fangs (?dal zer) into the enemy!

Reveal the path of the gto ritual, orient it towards the south; open the door of the gto ritual onto the south. Phags skyes po, lord of death in the south, do not be jealous, do not be angry. Arrogant blue dragon, lord of the place, do not show hostility, and do not emit your proud roar; receive this excellent golden libation; do not inhibit the gto ritual, the yas offerings and the ransom; open the path of the mdos, and clear the path of the yas offerings.

receive this excellent golden libation; do not inhibit the gto ritual, the yas offerings and the ransom; do not obstruct the narrow path (? lam gdung ’phrang); open the path of the mdos, clear the path for the yas offerings. Do not hold any anger of raging ignorance towards the priest and the patron and their entourages; lead a variety of gto rituals and yas offerings towards our hate-filled enemies.

Again, show the way for the gto, show it for the four directions; for the opening of the doors of the gto, open all four directions; the fire gods of the southeast, who are [among the gods who] protect the four directions; the dbang ldan of the northeast and the wind gods of the northwest; the srin po and other of the southwest who are endowed with magic; the earth lords, the kings and ministers, the mother and her sons, together with their subjects: do not be jealous or angry; do not inhibit the gto ritual, the yas offerings or the ransom; open the path to the mdos, clear the path of the yas offerings; do harbour any jealousy or malice towards the priest or his patrons and their entourage! Send our enemies the illness arising from lords of place being in conflict, and divert the various gto towards our hate-filled enemies; direct your jealously and anger towards our enemies. Since this is the command of the exalted Wise King Kongtse,

Do not let the magical missiles that we hurl come back at us! Offer, yes, offer a heap of tormas. Lead, yes, lead the tormas; you four great kings and protectors of the ten directions; fierce planetary demons and lunar mansions; unruly fearsome worldly powers; raging ones who defy description; proud secret-holders; desirous ones who are attached to your supports; magical ones, who send forth your emanations; wrathful ones who move through the sky; mighty ones who block the trails – receive this awesome golden libation! open the way for the mdos and the tormas; do not let the the magical missiles that we cast come back at us!

Offer, yes, offer a heap of tormas; lead, yes, lead the tormas. From the bla cu of the four directions, the four interstices, the zenith and the nadir, the haughty ones of the eight classes of worldly powers, jealous ones with their noxious envy;

and you ride a horse the size of a mouse; in your hand you brandish a regimental ensign of harm, and as for the region through which you ride, that is the mid-air and the sky; the region you encompass is all four directions and the four interstices; you inflict harm on the humans and sentient beings of the world; you seize the hocks of four-legged cattle; you travel to any location just by thinking about it; a wondrous ally to all who worship you, but to all those who cross you you do not help, but visit with misfortunes, inflicting your punishments from the sky with impartiality. Today I am worshipping you. May these various desirable sacred substances bring delight to the hearts of you, Khra tsha and your followers, and cause you great joy. Bestow on us, I beg you, the accomplishment of a glorious life and wealth, and perform the deeds with which I have charged you!

Turn this ritual against the enemy, turn it against harmful obstructive demons; turn it against parasitic demons and demons of females; turn it against vampires that prey on infants and against sman mo demonesses! After saying this, turn it to the left three times. Hey, now turn the Three-Headed Black Man to the left. Upon your turning to the left the great obstructions of the times and the obstructions that beset women are turned to the right. Demons of women, turn to the left kyi li li! Demons of women and misfortunes, turn to the left. May they be repelled, may they be averted! SA MA YA. Next, turn the Three-headed One to the outside and recite as follows.

Black man with the three heads and your retinue, now turn your three heads to the outside, and as you turn your three heads to the outside, so the eight classes of worldly powers turn towards the outside; the eighty thousand kinds of obstructions turn to the outside; the 404 kinds of illnesses are turned towards the outside; all bya kha and yam kha are turned towards the outside; all demons of loss and demons of impoverishment are turned towards the outside; all inauspicious divinations and all bad dreams are turned to the outside; and just as these are turned to the outside,
