OM BENZAR KRODHI KALI BAM HA RI NI SA HUNG PHET


In Vajrayana, women are held to be the essence of wisdom and numerous female manifestations of different energies are known as dakinis. These dakinis played a key role in the life of many of the great masters of the past."The body is the basis of the accomplishment of wisdom. And the gross bodies of men and women are equally suited. But is a woman has strong aspiration, she has higher potential." (page 86, Dowman, K., Sky Dancer; The secret life and songs of the Lady Yeshe Tsogyal, Routledge & Kegan Paul,1984) This verse is quoted by Guru Padmasambhava. Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche explains that women have a natural affinity for working with energy and visional and Garab Dorje, the founder of the Dzogchen teachings, went so far as to say that the body of light or rainbow body would be women.

Recognising the body as the root of one's attachment to self, Krodikali formulated 'The Quintessential Accomplishment in Accordance with the Lineage of the Vajra Essence' to be a practice that would destroy this fundamental attachment and simultaneously develop compassion for all beings. On the surface, Krodikali seems to be an offering of only the body. Nevertheless, during the visualization the body has been identified with the universe, and consequently the offering means the offering of all things desirable. Thus, it is not just aiming at reduction of attachment to body but also of all attachment.

Krodikali practice could be characterised as a practice which frees one;
  • outwardly from attachments to the body
  • inwardly to sensual objects
  • secretly to all desires and enjoyments
  • and most secretly to self-centeredness

In the practice of 'The Quintessential Accomplishment in Accordance with the Lineage of the Vajra Essence', from pure vision, there is the laughter of Troma which overcomes and suppresses through splendor. The natural display of primodial wisdom, as the magical manifestation of boundless dakinis, shatters the gods and demons of duality within the uncontrived fundamental nature of the nonexistent self.

The Buddha dakini, the mother of the central direction, through the fearless conduct of the primodial wisdom of the space of phenomena, gathers and overcomes the gods and demons of delusion. Having been overcome, they are suppreeede by splendor.

The Vajra dakini, the mother of the east, through the fearless conduct of mirror-like primodial wisdom, overcomes the gods and demons of aggression. Having been overcome, they are suppressed by splendor.

The Ratna dakini, the mother of the south, through the fearless conduct of the primodial wisdom of the nature of equality, overcomes the gods and demons of pride. Having been overcome, they are suppressed by splendor.

The Pedma dakini, the mother of the west, through the fearless conduct of discerning primodial wisdom, overcomes the gods and demons of desire. Having been overcome, they are suppressed by splendor.

The Karma dakini, the mother of the north, through the fearless conduct of the primodial wisdom of accomplished activity, overcomes the gods and demons of jealousy. Having been overcome, they are suppressed by splendor.

By the truth of refuge in the Triple Gems, the compassionate love of the dakinis of the three enlightened embodiments and the blessing of the five great mothers, the ruling male demonic forces are overcome, the demoness female forces are overcome, the earth lords and subterranean demonic forces are overcome and the demonic forces of the place and body are overcome. All are completely suppressed by splendor.

The central practice of this Trogma Nagmo is to cut away the false concept of ego by offering one's own body to the divine and the demons. This practice can help one to reduce one's karmic debt, thus eliminating innumerable obstacles in worldly life. It would also improve one's state of mind by generating the understanding of emptiness, thus developing that profound wisdom.
