1. Get permission from the Goddess of the Earth.
Visualize the Goddess with a yellow body, who suddenly appears from the Earth, accepts the blessing of the Master, who offers her approbation, and suddenly disappears.
Master wields his Vajra in the upper portion of the borrowed place where the fire altar is situated, he creates a Vajra-cross mental image there, then he repeats the following half stanza:
When abiding in the non-limit of cosmos is thinking,
the great palace of the Healing Buddha appears within.
2. Develop the Bodhicitta in general.
As well as your Holiness has the Bodhicitta,
I would like to develop it with your data.
I am now to do something in place of you;
Whatever you have vowed I have to do so far.
3. Recite the special Twelve Vows of the Healing Buddha:
The first vow: "I vow that after my reincarnation, and having attained unexcelled complete Enlightenment, my body should be shining like a brilliant light, throwing beams on infinite, and boundless worlds, adorned with a retinue of thirty-two forms of the Great Men and with eighty physical characteristics of the Buddha. I shall make all beings wholly equal to me."
The second vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, my body should be like a crystal in spotless purity both within and without, with splendorous radiant light, in the majesty of its virtue, sitting serenely, adorned with the aureole, brighter than the sun and the moon. I shall reveal my great power to all the beings in obscurity in order that they may act freely according to their bent."
The third vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, I should grant by means of boundless wisdom to all beings, the inexhaustible things that they may need and grant that they may be free from any want."
The fourth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, I should bring those who have gone the heterodox ways to dwell tranquilly in the way of Bodhi; and those who travel on the vehicle of the Sravaka and the Pratyeka Buddha may they stand firmly in the Great Vehicle of Bodhisattva."
The fifth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, I should enable the innumerable beings to observe all the moral laws to mend their ways to pure living, and to obey the three cumulative commandments. Should there be any relapse, or violation, they shall again become pure once they hear of my name, then they shall not fall."
The sixth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, those beings who are physically Inferior with imperfect senses, such as, the ugly, stupid, blind, deaf, mute, crippled, paralyzed, hump-backed, leprous, lunatic, or sick in many respects, shall, when they hear of my name, regain their normal appearance and become intelligent. All their senses shall be perfectly restored, and they shall not suffer from disease."
The seventh vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, those who are tormented by diseases, who have nobody to whom they can seek help, who are without a refuge, without a doctor, without medicine, without relatives, without a home; these poor and miserable beings shall all of them be free from disease and trouble, and shall enjoy perfect health of body and mind, once my name reaches their ears. They shall have families, friends and properties aplenty, and shall all be brought to the supreme Enlightenment of Buddha."
The eighth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, women who are tormented by the hundreds of sufferings of the female sex, who are weary of life and long to make bodily sacrifice, shall all of them, when they hear my name, be transformed into men instead of women, in the next rebirth. They shall get the form of manhood and shall in the end attain the supreme Enlightenment of Buddha."
The ninth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, I should let all beings escape the evil nets of Mara, to be free from other non-Buddhist cults. If they should have been misled by perversive views, I will assist and lead them to the noble truths, and gradually induce them to lead the life of a Bodhisattva. And soon, they shall attain the supreme Enlightenment of Buddha."
The tenth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, I should bring it to pass that all those who are recorded and condemned by the royal law to be bound and whipped, to be enchained in prisons, to be sentenced to capital punishment, to meet numerous other disasters and insults, to be afflicted with sorrow and anguish, to be troubled both in body and in mind, shall, when they hear of my name, escape evil karma through the awe inspiring majesty of my blessedness and virtue."
The eleventh vow: "I vow that after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, I bring it to pass that all beings who are tormented by hunger and thirst and who, in order to obtain food, have accumulated evil karma, be satiated first with superior drink and food, if they can carefully remember my name and cherish it, then I should let them taste the flavor of the Dharma, and eventually lead a tranquil and happy life."
The twelfth vow: "I vow that, after my reincarnation, and having attained Perfect Enlightenment, all beings who are poor and naked, tormented day and night by mosquitoes and wasps, by cold and heat, when they hear my name and carefully remember and cherish it, shall receive the wonderful garments of all kinds, as well as valuable ornaments,chaplets of fragrant flowers; and various kinds of instrumental music shall resound. Whatever they dream of, they shall have In abundance."
4. Bless the Bell and Vajra and Drum.
The sound of Five Elements is so sonorous,
The might of five discernment is so vigorous,
Health and happy both make the drum a special form;
Mind and being and Buddha are in Oneness and firm.
5. Protection
Two kinds of food in triangular form--one is white for Vegetarian Gods, the other is red for Carnivorous Gods, should be prepared before the Homa takes place. Now the Karmic Vajra (attendant) should throw them in separate directions, when he hears the Master's incantation as follows:
All the eight departments of protectors,
And all the Yakshas and your family,
Please take all this blessed and delicious food,
Let all of them be free and have long life!
Gather all merits and sow all best seeds!
And may they deserve all special enjoyment!
Especially help this fire sacrifice,
And let me get all the accomplishments!
Please remember all your excellent vows.
Help me gain all the attainments.
Get rid of all bad conditions and death.
Destroy all my obstacles and demons.
Purify all terrible dreams and bad omens.
Protect us from all dangerous risks.
Help make peace and rich harvests for all.
Plenty of all kinds of corn and Dharmas.
And may all good pleasures be helped by you.
Do help me fulfill all my best wishes.
Those who have been divined to darkness,
And cannot understand all the Tantras,
Not able to hear and see this secrecy,
Please leave here and go to the place where you belong.
If you don't take my advice right now,
I shall use the powerful
