"Oṃ Amitābha Hrīḥ"
May my conduct always be flawless and without lapses / May I always diligently and patiently perform the perfections / Pure in the immaculate deeds of morality / May I never forget Enlightenment mind / And completely remove / Whatever negativities may obscure it....
Make the connection to Amitabha. He's red in color. He can distinguish desire and attachment, "red with desire". The connection will help to transform neurotic forms of attachment, anger, and blind passion for self discipline into "Discriminating Awareness", which consciously identifies those emotions we want to attach vs. those we want to reject. Transmute and transcend these poisons of attachment and desire to liberate oneself from these negative emotions and physical ailments. When this root chakra is cleared, open, and liberated, you are able to depart from your root connections. The physical forms of your karmic past, karmic connections, karmic patterns, and karmic contracts will no longer serve you any purpose. Self 1 is liberated.
