Dear one,
There are many methods that can make children listen. For example, you can do Kurukulla practice or blessing the speech. And there are mantras you can recite to cause others to generate virtue and loving kindness in the heart. If you recite these mantras before teaching, it helps to generate virtue, loving kindness, and compassion in people’s hearts.
There are also different controlling deities that can be practiced depending upon the one with which you have more karma. For you, your karma is with Red Tara. If you have received a great initiation, you can generate yourself as the deity. But in your case, you haven’t received the initiation so you can’t generate yourself as the deity. Instead, you can visualize Red Tara in front of you and receive red light coming from Red Tara, bringing all the many qualities of the holy body, speech, and mind of Red Tara, especially the omniscient mind, perfect power, and having completed the mind training in compassion for all sentient beings. You also receive the power of controlling.
Also, request Tara to send red light into the children, whoever you have difficulties with, those who you would like to listen to you, to obey you, to do what you wish. Red light goes into them, completely burning wrong concepts, delusions, and superstitious thoughts that harm you and others, such as thoughts of dislike toward you. Everything is pacified. Think that they are generating the thought that they like you most; they are drawn to you most. They are so happy to obey you, to do whatever you wish. They also generate loving kindness, compassion, and faith in cause and effect so they abandon negative actions of body, speech, and mind which are the causes of suffering, and only engage in virtue, which is the cause of happiness. You can think they have generated the ultimate good heart, bodhicitta, and actualized the whole path to enlightenment. Do a strong visualization of this and chant the mantra:
OM TARE TUTTARE (insert the names of any or all of the school children you wish to control) WASHAM KURU SVAHA
Another deity that can be used for controlling is Dö-gyel, Hayagriva. There are many methods. Basically, you need controlling power.
The conclusion is that there are various practices that can be done but, of course, it’s all based on a good heart, compassion. It is because of your good heart and compassion that you want them to listen to you so you can teach them how to abandon negative actions and create good karma. This way you can lead them to happiness in this and all future lives, until they are free of samsara. Having to die and be reborn, that could be endless, so you are able to cause them to have happiness in future lives. Not only that, but the best thing is that you are able to bring them to liberation, because being in samsara is still temporary happiness. So, the best thing is to liberate them from all suffering and its causes. The very best thing is to bring them to peerless full enlightenment. This is how you are going to benefit them. That’s why you can use these methods. The motivation is to benefit them; it’s not ego or self-cherishing. You get controlling power so you can help them and guide them, so they don’t harm themselves, which is the small benefit, and instead benefit others, the country, and the whole world, bringing peace to all sentient beings, which is the great benefit.
Generally speaking, in daily life, if you always attempt to create good karma your merit or good luck will be great. Then, others do not interfere with your wishes. They support you. What makes you create a lot of merit every day is keeping in mind the good heart, the wish to benefit others. If your mind is kept in this, everything you do—eating, walking, sitting, sleeping—every action becomes pure virtue and has the highest result, enlightenment, while liberation from samsara, the end of all suffering, comes by the way.
As a Buddhist, there is an incredible opportunity to create merit because of faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. That opens up vast opportunities to create great merit. If one is not a Buddhist, one needs to create merit by having a good heart. Good luck is not created by God; your mind has to create good luck. This is the same meaning as “taking care of yourself,” “guiding yourself,” or “loving yourself.” When you live life with a good heart, not allowing yourself to become a slave to the ego or the self-cherishing thought, or a slave to ignorance and attachment, being controlled by them, when you practice renunciation and guru devotion, then that is loving yourself. From that, all success comes: success for yourself and for others. All happiness comes from that: this life’s happiness, future lives’ happiness, enlightenment for oneself and for all sentient beings.
When you practice renunciation, there is a definite emergence from suffering and from the causes of samsara, the continuity of the contaminated aggregates, which are in the nature of suffering. When your mind is transformed into the good heart, bodhicitta, the right view, that is your best love for yourself—transforming your mind into bodhicitta.
On top of that, the secret quick path to enlightenment is tantra. That is even more “loving yourself” because tantric practice is the quick way to get free from samsara and achieve enlightenment. When you follow the self-cherishing thought, you create many obstacles for your wishes to happiness being fulfilled. That means you become an enemy to yourself though you don’t know this. It’s the same when you follow ignorance, anger, attachment, and the delusions. You become an enemy to yourself, also you bring suffering. You hinder yourself from achieving happiness in this life, future lives, and liberation from samsara—the continuity of the contaminated aggregates, the body and mind, which are in the nature of suffering.
