A CLOUDBURST OF BLESSINGS - RIGDZIN GODEM GEBUNDEN

Of crucial importance in the life of anyone who wishes to follow the path of secret mantra  the
occasion of a tantric empowerment stands out as a pivotal moment of guidance in which the
stages and direction of the path to be followed are made clear. All too often  however 
practitioners in the western world have been forced to remain little more than spectators 
patiently witnessing the profound initiation rites of their own 'vajra empowerments' as
outsiders  because the rites are conducted in a foreign language and in a manner that is not at
all easy to understand. Now  in order to encourage full participation by English-speaking
disciples who wish to take the mantra path to heart  a complete series of ritual empowerments
for the deity Vajrakila in the tradition of the Northern Treasures has been translated and
annotated. Bringing joy to disciples  may all confusion be dispelled and may the clear light of
wisdom illuminate the world! Together with the Tibetan texts translated herein  this book
contains a number of teachings from the mahasiddhas of India with regard to the three special
codes of tantric conduct: that of a skull-bearing ascetic  the vow of the consort  and the
conduct of a madman. Violating all social niceties and worldly conventions  these radical and
transgressive instructions remind us of the words of kLong-chen rab-'byams-pa  When one sees
the reality of existence  one spontaneously bursts out laughing!
