ritual manual

CompareIOL Tib J 341/1. Compare also4593, which goes by the title,Chu gtor gyi cho ga. This is a short ritual manual for the performance of water offerings. Comments are provided in interlinear notes. These notes divide the text into six sections: (1) homage (1r.1), (2) the purpose (1r.1-2), (3) intial preparations (rgyu btag pa;1r.2-5), (4) the characteristics in terms of six topics (brtag pa drug gyis mtshan nyid;1r.5-1v.5), (5) mental preparations (bsam rgyud;1v.5-2r.2), and (6) the dedications (2r.2-6v.3). This last topic takes up five of the six folios and is further divided into two parts, the visualized dedications and the dedications for enlightenment. The former seems to cover the main offering ritual, in which the practitioner performs a series of sixmudrās which (1) purify the offerings, (2) increase the offerings, (3) bless the offerings, (4) offer up the offerings, (5) expand and offer up one's own body, and (6) overpower one's karmic debtors. The sixmudrās employed are found in other sources too.
