  2. satisfaction of the practitioners as a result of the vajra food and drink,
  3. satisfaction of the wisdom beings as a result of the refined essence of nectar,
  4. satisfaction of the deities of the body mandala as a result of the pure awareness of bliss and emptiness,
  5. satisfaction of the outer and inner dakinis as a result of melodic song, and
  6. satisfaction of the arrogant and active spirits as a result of the torma offerings.[1]

Notes

  1. Based on Gönpo Tseten Rinpoche, The Udumbara Bouquet, where the list is attributed to Jikmé Lingpa. A similar but slightly different list appears in Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö's Yeshe Saldrön.
