Poem
“Patients, carefully wash your hands and mouth As the spirits are offended by our smells And get yourself clean of the defilements” Thus Matho announced the arrival of the **Dakini To the séance of the Stok Monastery. Then Dakini donned her ritual costume Preparing the alter of seven offerings of Water, flowers, incense, a butter lamp, cakes As well as ‘golden drinks” and juniper incense She was ready with the bell, and small hand drum. “Eik….hic….hic…chuuaam….chhukkkk Bummmm aummmmm bum bum blah Did you hear the hiccupping, sneezing And the mysterious chanting of the oracle See her offering the drinks to please the god.
