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.
