Reciting the eleven-syllable root mantra three hundred-thousand times, spiritual attainments will
be obtained. Then rest without visualizing the deity's appearance. Follow this with dedication
and make aspirations. This will quell untimely death in this life and in the future one will reach
the path of great bliss liberation. Therefore, fortunate ones, practice!
