Dear Mooch,
For the short Kawang see SHORT SADHANA OF DORJE SHUGDEN on our homepage, right after the praise:
KAWANG
HUM !
Heart’s blood drinking offerings set out like the flow of the Ganges,
Flowers of the sense organs blossoming and clouds of smoke gathering,
Human bile perfume, flesh and blood, and the sound of thigh bone trumpets,
Please accept these as well as an ocean of undefiled nectar!
Also sensual objects and the seven royal objects,
The intelligent horse, elephants, frightful yaks, sheep, and dogs,
Saffron robes, strong, hard armour and shields,
Arrows, spears, swords, and outer, inner, and secret bases,
With these clouds of offerings, both supramundane and worldly,
O Dorje Shugden and all your wrathful entourage,
May your heart commitment be fulfilled and degeneration restored!
Especially, each accumulated faulty deed of body, speech and mind
We have committed under the influence of ignorance,
Which goes against your mind, protector,
We confess with a mind of remorse and regret.
Furthermore, transgressions of our commitments to the protector
And entourage, neglect or degeneration of retreat practice,
Tormas, offerings, and so on,
We practitioners confess all of these
Within the unobjectifiable emptiness of the three spheres.
This is very beneficial as here we make offerings and confess and restore broken commitments.
In other words, we make our connection 'clean and clear', without which it is difficult for Dharmapala to help.
He can only help if we have good motivation and a minimum of sincerity.
He cannot help with things that harm others or ourselves. In fact, he will try to keep us from doing so - i guess older practitioners have all experienced the hints and signs and the heavy conscience that can suddenly awake in us when we are about to be seduced by selfish notions.
All the best for your practice!
Yours, beggar
