Ten Mantra Treasure Gourd ƒ A Secret Within a Secret If you are reading this document, you should also read Ten Mantra Treasure Vase, which is also found in Deep Wisdom: Healing, Main Volume. The sacred gourd will be more effective than the vase to help someone who is possessed or seriously ill, however the sacred vase may be just what you need in your particular circumstance. Review both documents carefully before you make your decision about the appropriate item to use in your situation. It is vitally important to concentrate, focus on the visualizations, and keep your use of this cure to yourself. The suggested number of red envelopes to receive in exchange for this information is 27. Use your utmost discretion as you decide with whom to share this secret of secrets. Materials: One gourd with an easily discernable neck, and with a cap (The size will depend upon use, so keep reading before you make a purchase.) Read A Bit of History at the end of this document. One piece of red ribbon cut either 9 inches in length, or a multiple of 9. It must be long enough to tie around the neck of the gourd. Procedure Before Use of the Gourd: 1. Perform this procedure either between 11 to 1 midday, or 11 to 1 midnight. This is done one time only, and here are Professor’s words about this one-time ritual: The chanting is extremely rich and very strong. You can “always” use the vase, and it will be an “endless resource.” You can draw from it “forever,” and “it will never need a new battery.” However, do not forget to reinforce this power with the Three Secrets each time you use the sacred vase. (There is more information about this unending power at the end of this document.) 2. Begin by tying the red ribbon around the neck of the gourd. Now you are ready to proceed. 3. Chant 10 mantras into the gourd in the following manner: a. Uncap the gourd. b. Chant one mantra 9 times as you simultaneously flick your fingers 9 times using the Ousting Mudra. (One recitation, one flicking motion) (See Mudras in Deep Wisdom: Healing, Companion Volume.) c. Then blow 3 times into the gourd, simultaneously flicking your fingers 3 times using the Ousting Mudra as you blow. (You will flick a total of 3 times—one breath, one flick.) d. Repeat steps b and c above until you have chanted 10 mantras into the gourd. © Katherine Metz 2 Important Notes: If you do not know 10 mantras, you can chant the mantra of Lord Tonpa Shenrab 108 times into the gourd. (This is Professor’s second choice.) Om Ma Tri Mu Ye Sa Le Du Or Professor added another possibility: Chant the Six True Words 108 times Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum And Chant the Calming Heart Mantra 9 times. Gatay Gatay, Para Gatay, Para Sam Gatay, Bodhi Swaha e. Visualize that the light of the Buddhas is shining brightly. See the light, characters, and sound of the mantras, infused into the gourd. f. Here is the secret within the secret. Now chant the Kalachakra Mantra into the gourd 9 times while simultaneously flicking your fingers 9 times using the Ousting Mudra. Om Ah Hom, Om Ah Hom, Om Ah Hom, Cha MaLa Wa La Ya Soha1 g. Visualize that the light of the Buddhas is shining brightly. See the light, characters, and sound of the mantra, infused into the gourd. h. Put the cap back on the gourd. Do not forget this important step. Precious Uses of the Gourd: 1. To guard the house and offer protection, place the gourd in the following manner: a. Uncap the gourd and place it discretely in the house, store, factory etc. The placement should be strategic, not prominent. This is the yin placement (unlike the placement of the Ten Mantra Treasure Vase). You do not want to create curious questioning. This placement is especially important if there has been an inauspicious event such as a robbery, illness, death, etc. It is also an important placement if evil events happen over and over again, or happen unexpectedly. b. Place the gourd inside the home or office, on its side, with the mouth of the gourd facing the main door. This can be to either the right or left of the door. It can also be hung facing the door. If any bad chi enters, it will be “absorbed” into the gourd where it will be “dissolved.” Used in this manner, the gourd will remain uncapped. Reinforce with the Three Secrets. Visualize that any inauspicious chi will be “absorbed and dissolved.” Also, visualize that all auspicious chi will pour forth into the building providing protection and blessings. 1This mantra falls into the category of “totally incomprehensible.” You can choose to chant the Tibetan Bon sequence: Ah Om Hom, Ah Om Hom, Ah Om Hom, Cha MaLa Wa La Ya Soha. © Katherine Metz 3 c. You can place the gourd in the master bedroom facing the bedroom door. d. If the gourd is small, it can be used in the same way as a small Buddha statue—hidden on a beam (with the mouthpiece facing the door.) e. In all cases, remember to leave the gourd uncapped. 2. To promote safe travel, the gourd can be placed in a car, boat, train, airplane, etc. a. Uncap the gourd and place it at the back of the vehicle, on its side, with the mouthpiece facing the person driving, or piloting, the craft. b. Reinforce with the Three Secrets. 3. According to Chinese folklore, the Treasure Gourd has the power to capture ghosts, demons, and evil spirits. Its blessing power is very high and can expel any strange or unwanted chi. a. Uncap the gourd and aim the mouth of the gourd at any negative or inauspicious place, or at any person possessed by evil chi.2 This possession is often felt as cold, a chill, or dampness. Perform the Three Secrets Reinforcement using the Ousting Mudra. Visualize that the evil spirit, demon, or negative chi is drawn into the gourd. Leave the gourd in place for at least 15 minutes. See the bad chi “dissipate and then vanish completely.” Then cap the gourd. The gourd will also be effective to absorb illness chi from a person or place. The difficult chi will all be “dissolved,” and there will be no need to do anything further.3 You can use the gourd to help a child with spirit attachments that are adversely affecting the child’s performance at school. You can use the gourd to absorb any evil or yin chi from yourself. The procedure is the same. You can use the gourd to overcome any deficiency, including a Five Element imbalance. You can use the gourd to eliminate the effect of living on a cul-de-sac. b. This method will be effective if you have “faith” and “complete sincerity.” You must know in your heart that the evil chi and/or evil spirits have been successfully drawn into the gourd. Treat this method with great respect, and do not “laugh about it” with others. c. Do not mention this cure to anyone. It should be undetectable. It is vitally important to concentrate, focus on the visualizations, and keep your use of the cure to yourself. 2Do not use the Ten Mantra Treasure Vase to help someone who is possessed. Use only the gourd to absorb evil chi from a person. 3Even if a gourd has absorbed bad chi, it has been “dissolved” and the gourd can be used again to absorb auspicious chi. © Katherine Metz 4 4. The Treasure Gourd can be used as a Feng Shui adjustment. a. Within 24 hours of chanting the mantras into the gourd, take it to 9 places with either very good business chi or with abundant spiritual and/ or wealth chi. You can absorb the wealth chi of a bank. Uncap the gourd and visualize the money chi entering the gourd. You can absorb the career chi in an office building. Uncap the gourd and visualize the chi of expertise and advancement entering the gourd. You can also absorb the auspicious and happy chi at a wedding. Note: If you must collect this auspicious chi at night when an establishment is closed, you can stand outside. Visualize that the chi from inside is being absorbed into the gourd. This requires a very high spiritual cultivation. Professor then made the following comment: If your cultivation is high enough, you don’t even need to leave your house. “You can simply visualize.” Note from Katherine: Be careful here. There was that twinkle in Professor’s eyes. b. At each place, uncap the gourd and perform the Three Secrets Reinforcement visualizing that auspicious and prosperous chi are drawn into the gourd. The length of time you spend visualizing will vary depending upon your spiritual ability. However, you must do this inconspicuously. “You do not want anyone to mistake you for someone who is mentally unstable.” Recap the gourd when you are ready to leave one location and move to another. c. Return home or to your office, uncap the gourd and aim the mouth of the gourd, now filled with auspicious chi, at the trigram position that needs adjustment. Reinforce with the Three Secrets, visualizing that the auspicious chi is filling the trigram position, and, in turn, the entire space. State your desires with clarity and precision. Also, visualize that all the mantra chi is pouring out of the gourd into the space.
