Introduction

Black Manjushri is the wrathful healing form of Manjushri,

the Buddha of Wisdom. The practice of Black Manjushri helps
us to heal our deep inner negative emotions and the mental
sufferings that arise due to problems or sickness; it is also a
powerful antidote against the harm and disturbances caused
by negative astrological influences.
There are numerous benefits to this meditative practice; above
all it supports, both mentally and physically, those suffering
from so-called incurable diseases. It helps us to confront and
deal with the negative emotions, such as anger, depression,
fear and denial, which arise when we are challenged by serious
health problems or when we are confronted with problems in
our daily life.
The practice of Black Manjushri can also be used to purify the
negative consequences that can be created when, for example,
on astrologically inauspicious days we perform important
actions such as a marriage ceremony, a cremation, cut down
trees and so on. This practice gives us the opportunity to stop
our energy flowing into the wrong path, due to astrological
influences. Reciting Black Manjushri mantras protects us from
inauspicious and malevolent astrological configurations -
caused by conjunctions, transits, oppositions, eclipses, the
passage of comets and so on - that can result in sickness,
accidents, loss of property, social problems and discouraging
life experiences.

 Practice of Black Manjushri

If we combine the recitation of mantras with meditation and

concentration on this particular form of Manjushri it is also
possible to block the harm of black magic and the evil eye
and protect our self from the interferences of spirits, such as
the Naga serpent spirits, who cause skin problems, infectious
diseases and contagious viral epidemics.
Black Manjushri protects us from the four maras that hinder
our spiritual practice and success. It also halts the negative
actions of all malefic beings and Geg (trouble making) spirits
that obstruct the attainment of long life, it protects us from
the Tsen (middling) and Gyalpo (king) spirits that cause inner
mental sicknesses as well as sicknesses of the physical body.
This practice also offers us a practical solution to stop the
superstitious and fearful projections that our mind can create,
for example when we walk alone in the dark, as well as those
relating to digging the earth, cutting trees and moving rocks
where Naga serpent spirits abide.

How and when to practice

This practice is most effective when completed daily before
sunrise; we should sit facing the eastern direction in the cross-
legged lotus posture. However, if it is not possible for us to
follow these indications we should do the practice whenever
possible and however we feel comfortable.
The traditional Black Manjushri retreat consists of reciting
700,000 Essence Mantras and 10,000 Action Mantras. During
the retreat it is advisable to follow a vegetarian diet, avoiding
garlic, onions, sesame and alcohol.
This NgalSo Tantric Self-Healing practice, which includes
meditational exercises, begins by taking refuge in the Three
Jewels and renewing our commitment to generate bodhichitta,
the great altruistic mind.

Nine round breathing meditation to purify the subtle wind

energy

Sitting in the vajra posture I visualise that my gross physical

body, composed of flesh, organs and bones, gradually melts
into light until I am left with only a holographic image that
sparkles like a rainbow.
With my left hand I make a vajra fist (by pressing my thumb to the
base of the ring finger and closing the other four fingers over it to form
a fist) and place it under my right armpit. With my right hand
I make a vajra fist and then extending my right index finger
I place my middle finger on top of it. I use my index finger to
gently block my left nostril.
Visualising clearly my central channel and the two channels
flanking it, I inhale through my right nostril imagining that
the pure essences of the five elements’ positive and healing
energies and all the blessings of the holy beings enter my right
channel in the form of white light. This white light absorbs
into the subtle wind energy at my heart. I now block my right
nostril and exhale through the left nostril in three short

 Practice of Black Manjushri

breaths, imagining that all my sicknesses, polluted elemental

winds, negative side effects, inner demons and interferences,
relating to the left side of my body, are expelled in the aspect
of polluted black smoke.
I now repeat this exercise on the opposite side to purify my left
channel by expelling all the negativities relating to the right
side of my body.
Placing my hands in the meditation mudra and breathing evenly
through both nostrils, I visualise that all the positive and
healing energy of the holy beings enter both my right and left
channels and absorb into the subtle wind energy at my heart.
In three short breaths, through both nostrils, I breathe out all
negativities, physical and mental sicknesses, interferences,
negative side effects, demons and polluted winds from both
sides of my body.

Everything is the same nature as emptiness.

Out of emptiness appears a black syllable PAM, which

transforms into a black coloured lotus.
In the centre of this black lotus, arises a white syllable
AH which transforms into a white moon-disc.
Above this moon-disc appears a green syllable YAM,
which transforms into a green wind mandala.
In the centre of this wind mandala, arises a red

The essences of the five elements contained in the lotus,

out from this syllable and then reabsorb back into it fulfilling
the two purposes of making offerings to the enlightened beings
and alleviating the sufferings of all other beings.
In an instant, from the black syllable HUNG, I arise as Black
Manjushri.
I am in a very wrathful aspect with one face and two arms.
My right leg is bent and my left leg is outstretched.
In my right hand with a wrathful mudra I brandish a wisdom
sword that eliminates all interferences, and in my left hand
I hold the Kadampa Emanation Scripture and the Prajnaparamita
Sutra at the level of my heart.
Half my red hair is knotted at my crown and the other half falls
on my shoulders.
I have a big belly and wear a tiger skin loincloth.
I wear wrathful bone ornaments - a crown of five skulls and a
necklace of fifty freshly cut heads.
My three eyes are red and wide open and in the nature of YAM,
RAM and BAM.
I am surrounded by fiercely blazing flames of wisdom.
My root guru is above my crown in the form of Buddha
Amoghasiddhi, who embodies the entire lineage.

At my crown chakra is a white OM representing

the nature of the enlightened body.
At my throat chak ra is a red AH representing
the nature of enlightened speech.
At my heart chakra is blue HUNG representing
the nature of the enlightened mind.

Essence mantra

At my heart is a sun-disc with a black syllable HUNG at its

centre, around this disc circle in a clockwise direction two
garlands formed by the mantra OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI
HUNG. As I recite the mantra I meditate on the emptiness of
phenomenon, self and others, based on a method I am familiar
with, such as the Heart Sutra or dependent origination.

ༀ་ཨ་ར་པ་ཙ་ན་དྡྷཱིཿཧཱུཾ།
OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI HUNG

Special essence mantra

After repeating as many times as possible the Essence Mantra

and meditating on emptiness I repeat the Special Essence
Mantra, which helps me to stabilise and empower my practice.

The seven Tantric Self-Healing exercises of

Black Manjushri

Reciting the mantras with the Mahayana attitudes of

compassion and wisdom makes the following seven exercises
more effective.

1. Purification of obstacles

Flame-like lights radiate out from my heart, burning up all my

emotional problems, mind pollution, interferences and karmic
obstacles that cause sicknesses and problems to myself, other
beings and the environment. I recite the Action Mantra 21 times.

ༀ་པྲ་སོད། ཆུ་སོད། དུར་ཏ་སོད། དུར་མི་སོད། སྙིང་མགོ་ལ་ཆོད། ཁ་

2. Protection from sickness

After repeating the Essence and Action Mantras as many times

as possible, I join the thumbs of each of my hands to the roots
of my respective ring fingers. Holding my hands at the level of
my heart I blow on the tips of my ring fingers. I then rub the
tips of these fingers on the soles of my feet and in my armpits.
If I find a black substance in these places, I put it on nine points
of my auric body whilst repeating the Action Mantra.
If I do not find a black substance I simply imagine it and touch
the soles of my two feet, urethra, anus, navel, nipples, mouth,
nose, eyes, ears and fontanel.
I now envisage a suit of Vajra Armour underneath my skin that
protects me from contagious diseases and pollution that attack
my body at the auric entrances.

3. Calming disturbing people and spirits

With my hands in the prayer mudra, above the crown of my

head, I click my tongue three times against the palate of my
mouth and then clap my hands together three times. I recite
the Action Mantra 21 times.

ༀ་པྲ་སོད། ཆུ་སོད། དུར་ཏ་སོད། དུར་མི་སོད། སྙིང་མགོ་ལ་ཆོད། ཁ་

4. Dissolving interferences

Visualising myself in the aspect of Black Manjushri, I sit with

my knees brought up to my chest with my arms wrapped around
them. I place the big toe of my right foot over the big toe of my
left foot. Keeping this posture I imagine that I press down and
trap all interferences that cause me harm under my feet until
they become powerless. I recite the Action Mantra 21 times.

ༀ་པྲ་སོད། ཆུ་སོད། དུར་ཏ་སོད། དུར་མི་སོད། སྙིང་མགོ་ལ་ཆོད། ཁ་

5. Healing nectars

I place a container of water in front of me and I visualise myself

in the aspect of Black Manjushri. Nectars radiate from the
syllable HUNG at my heart chakra, flowing out on my breath.
The nectar’s special qualities are transferred to the water when
I blow on it and the water transforms into nectar. Finally, Black
Manjushri dissolves into the water, making it so powerful
that those who drink it are purified of their obscuration and
sicknesses caused by negative karma and physical health
problems improve. I recite the Action Mantra 21 times.

ༀ་པྲ་སོད། ཆུ་སོད། དུར་ཏ་སོད། དུར་མི་སོད། སྙིང་མགོ་ལ་ཆོད། ཁ་

6. Healing arthritis

I drink the healing water and recite the Action Mantra before
blowing on my mala that I then use to massage, outwardly towards
the extremities, the affected limbs and joints. I also follow the
self-healing diet of avoiding eating meat and consuming strong
alcoholic drinks. I recite the Action Mantra 21 times.

7. Healing nightmares

When I awaken from a bad dream or nightmare, or if possible during

my dream, I visualise myself as Black Manjushri who emanates
a wisdom fire that burns up the dream enemy, bad feelings and
negative side effects. I recite the Action Mantra 21 times.

Long life prayer

If foreseeing signs of a premature death, may I, by a clear vision of

Black Manjushri, defeat the Lord of Death and rapidly obtain the
siddhi of immortality.

Short six session guru yoga

To the guru and three jewels I go for refuge. Visualising myself as

Vajrasattva, holding vajra and bell, I uphold all the dharmas of sutra
and tantra, refrain from all misconduct, gather all virtuous dharmas
and with the four givings benefit migrators.

In short, by the collection of the white virtues I have gathered here,

may this world transform into Shambala, the treasury of jewels,
and may we complete the stages of the path of highest yoga tantra.
