Offering a Feast of Tsog
OM AH HUM. [3x] Clouds of outer, inner, and hidden offerings, fearsome items and objects to bond us closely spread out beyond the range of thought, pervading the reaches of space, the earth, and the sky. In essence, they are deep awareness; in aspect, inner offerings and offering items; the function of each, as objects enjoyed by the six sensors, is to enhance a special deep awareness of bliss and voidness.
E-ma-ho! In the grand play of deep awareness, all lands and regions are vajra-fields; the structures majestic vajra-palaces; oceans of clouds of Samantabhadra offerings billow forth.
The objects of enjoyment possess every glory wished; all dwelling therein are actual viras and virinis; not even the words "impurity" or "flaw" exist: nothing is less than infinitely pure.
HUM – within a state of Dharmakaya in which all fabricating is absolutely still, on top of a turbulent wind and blazing fire, upon the crown of a tripod of three human heads: AH – within a ritual skullcup, OM – the ingredients brilliantly appear one by one.
Standing above them are an OM, AH, and HUM, each sparkling with its brilliant color. The wind becomes turbulent; the fire flares; the ingredients melt. From their boiling, vapors billow copiously forth.
From the triad of syllables, a profusion of light-rays radiates to the ten directions, inviting the three vajras, together with nectars. They dissolve into the respective three syllables, which then melt into nectar and blend with the ingredients, purifying, transforming and expanding them. E-ma-ho! They become an ocean glittering with every glory wished.
OM AH HUM. [3x]

Ho! By offering this ocean of leftovers from the ritual feast to you remaining guests and your crowd, may the precious teachings flourish; may the upholders of the teachings, the offering patrons, with their circle,
And especially we yogis gain freedom from sickness, long lives, glory, fame, good fortune, and bounteous wealth.
Open the way to our actual attainment of enlightening effects such as stilling and increasing. Oath-bound ones, protect and help us to meet the karmic price for all actual attainments.
Exterminate untimely death, diseases, demons, and obstructing ghosts. Make nightmares, ill omens, and disasters all become extinct.
May worldly happiness, crops, and harvests abound; may the Dharma thrive; all goodness and joy come about; and every wish in our minds be fulfilled.
When, by the force of this bountiful giving, we become Buddhas, automatically arising for wanderers' sake, may we free by our generosity the masses of beings untamed by the Triumphant of old.
