their natural abodes.)

Serkyem Offering
Someone who wishes to offer Serkyem to the Sakyapa Dharmapala, should offer tea
and beer, as the first offering. It should be in two cups/bowls. The offerings should be
sprinkled with clean water. Incense should also be offered. The person who meditates
on Hevajra or any other deity should visualise himself as that deity.
Blessing of the Offering
Visualise letter OM. From the letter OM all is purified, and the substance is offered
externally and internally.
Visualise letter AH.
The letter AH is transformed into a huge skull cup. In the cup is letter HUM. The
letter HUM transformes into five fleshes and five nectars, purified by the five wis-
doms. The letter HO is visualised. HO transforms the five fleshes and five nectars.
They are mixed and become nectar.
OM AH HUM (2x) / OM AH HUM HO / HA HO HRI (3x, all with mudras)
OM SARWA BID PURRA PURRA SORRA SORRA AWATAYA AWATAYA
SVAHA (while reciting do the Sky Treasure Mudra on your crown)
