Lamaism Buddhism? (1) - A Culture of Black Magic The ritual of receiving precepts in Tibetan Lamaism, which is called abhisheka, is designed to transfer the energy and thoughts from a lama master to his disciple. The transference is normally conducted through words, sometimes by using gestures and images. But apart from these human to human exchange, Tibetan Lamaism also allows non-humans to transfer their energy and thoughts into human lama practitioners, including that between a spirit master and a human disciple during meditation or in dreams, and between a female demon (Dakini) and a lama who was led to dig out Tantras (Terma) allegedly buried by lamas of the past.
The lamas who host the abhisheka are considered in Lamaism as gods and the disciples have absolute obligations to obey their masters. During the ritual period, disciples are required to recite a hundred-pages long instrument, six times a day, which includes lines like this: From now on I’m your god (Vajrapani), and you must do everything that I said; you must never show disrespect for me, and if you do, death will come upon you, and you will go to Hell. [1] The purpose of the abhisheka is to turn the disciple into an empty vessel to accommodate the spirit of his master, and make him virtually a walking corpse subjected to his master wills. From that moment on, to him his Lama master is his god who rules his body and soul, while his master is ruled by his god - his master - and the chain can be traced back to an ancient spirit described in the Lamaist tantras.
