Background
A description of the experience
From the crown of the spiritual teacher in union with consort,
A white syllable OM, [radiating] rays of light,
Descends into the mid-point between my eyebrows,
The vase empowerment is thus received and the obscurations of the body are purified.
Please confer [upon me] the accomplishments of buddha-body!
From the throat of the spiritual teacher in union with consort,
A red syllable AH, [radiating] rays of light,
Descends into the sense faculty of my tongue,
The secret empowerment is thus received and the obscurations of speech are purified.
Please confer [upon me] the accomplishments of buddha-speech!
From the heart of the spiritual teacher in union with consort,
A blue syllable HUM, [radiating] rays of light,
Descends into the centre of my heart,
The empowerment of pristine cognition is thus received, and the obscurations of mind are purified.
Please confer [upon me] the accomplishments of buddha-mind!
From the navel of the spiritual teacher in union with consort,
A red syllable HRIH, [radiating] rays of light,
Descends into the centre of my navel,
The obscurations which [mundanely] differentiate berween body, speech and mind are purified,
And the fourth empowerment of indivisible coemergence is received.
O glorious and precious root spiritual teacher!
Be indivisibly present, [seated] on the pistil of a lotus within my heart for ever!
Through your great kindness, favour me with your acceptance,
And please confer [upon me] the accomplishments of buddha-body, speech and mind!
