This method for improving harmony in the family was an oral instruction from Rinpoche, who translated the text at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, in 2007. Scribe Jean Luc Castagner. Lightly edited by Sandra Smith.

You will need:

-  A round mirror
-  Ribbons of the following colors: white, red, yellow, blue and green
-  Sindura powder
-  Water
-  Sugar

The technique:

  • First mix the sindura with water and sugar to make a sort of liquid that will stick to the mirror. It needs to have a special consistency and it's good to do trials beforehand.
  • On the mirror, write the letters HA RI NI SA SUKSA SIDDHI DZA with the sindura mixture. The letters can be written either like this or in Tibetan script.
  • In the middle of the living room, position the mirror facing downwards, with the five ribbons attached to it, like beams in all directions.
  • On the western wall of the room, draw a sun and half-moon with the same sindura.
