PURIFICATION
The clouds are only passing.
The thing you did and never told anyone. The cycle of resolve and relapse. Looking in the mirror and feeling unworthy — or perhaps not moral, just exhausted. Wrapped in negativity, needing a thorough washing.
Tibetan Buddhism has the most complete system of purification in the world. It does not say 'you have sinned.' It says 'you are obscured.' The sky was always clear; the clouds were only passing.
The Hundred-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva is one of humanity's oldest cleansing rites. Not a god forgiving you — but you, washing your own mind. Garuda spreads his wings and devours every poisonous serpent. Poison is whatever you grasp.
King of purification. White-bodied — meaning originally pure. He holds the vajra and bell at his heart: indestructible mind, awakened sound, returning to source.
Three-bladed dagger that pins down the demonic. Plant it in the ground and what was loose becomes still. Cleansing requires force — gentle is not always enough.
The eagle who eats the serpent kings. The wind from his wings clears the air of every miasma. Cleansing is not gentle — it is the storm followed by the clear sky.
Nectar Cleanse — white nectar pours from above, filling you, dark waste flows out the soles of your feet into the earth.
Sang offering — burn juniper or sacred incense. Let the rising smoke carry away what cannot stay.
In the shower, imagine the water as nectar. Before sleep, light a stick of incense for the room.
