Once that is completed, then you visualise within your head, you have to visualise a tetrahedron, 3 dimensions, 3-sided inside white, red, there is no colour, just a transparent shape. So one point is over here (Rinpoche pointed to the forehead), one point is over here (right ear), one point is over here (left ear), one point is over here (throat), there is the tetrahedron. As it goes downward it goes sharper and sharper, right? So that’s that.
Then in the center of that, you have to visualise the letter AH. Whether you visualize in a Sanskrit letter AH, whether you visualise in a Tibetan letter AH, whether you visualise in an English letter AH with the A and H, that is your own preference.
Then that is in the middle of your triangle shape, then that AH itself is translucent, a little bit like a silver colour.

You visualise that and you focus your mind on the AH. After that, as your mind is focused on the AH, with your speech you have to say like this:
AH AH AH AH AH that is 5 times
AH AH AH AH AH 10 times
AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH AH 21 times total, right?
Then once the 21 times is completed, then you move to the next stage of the visualisation.
Then once the 21 times is finished or you can do 21 three times, so you can do 1 time, 6 times of 21 times, that is the limit of time that you have.

The second stage of the visualisation goes like this, the second stage you say:
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH 21 times in total
The second stage you have to visualise from the center of the AH the nectar starts to come down and flows around the whole tetrahedron shape.
Then you do 21 times of this or 3 times or more, like I said before.
Then the 3rd stage is that you visualise “AH AH AH AH” 21 times and once that is done, you visualise the nectar overflowing the tetrahedron and then spreading throughout the internal part of your body and then cleansing it. Then you do 21 times.
Then after that you visualise “AH AH AH AH” again, everything that is external is also cleansed.
During that cleansing time, think that all the negativity, all the suffering, all the misery, all the trauma, everything has been dissolved. With that thought in your mind, you meditate.
Then you make a dedication at the end. You say “I dedicate all this positivity to all the sentient beings”.
