Chod Practice
Chod pratice enable the yogi to transform a non-conducive condition into the path which ultimately leads to liberation very quickly.The yogi uses the power of negative karma to overcome habitual instincts and realize the dharmata. This is called "using an adverse condition to be set free." Chod Practice helps to clear karmic debts and pacify the suffering of beings who is afflicted with illness. Chod is also a powerful means of accumulating merit because one is practicing the generosity of offering one’s body. This practice is popular among beggars or retreatants who have given up everything and live isolated in the mountains. They have nothing concrete to offer, no possession at all, except for their body. So they invite the lamas, meditational deities, dakinis, dharma protectors and lesser gods and spirits to come and partake of their body. In this manner, they accumulate tremendous merit. While practicing chod, from the external point of view, gods and demons will appear; from the inner point of view, these gods and demons are simply one’s own conceptual proliferations that are out of control. Through realizing identitylessness, the practitioner can no more be affected by both the external and internal problems..Ultimately, the practioner establishes himself in the state of the primordial nature-The Prajnaparamita.
