With so many people dying in the war on both sides, many teachers recommend that we include prayers for the dead in our daily meditation. This one is used in the Chagdud Gonpa Nyingma centers, but it can be used by everyone.
Visualize yourself as Tara, the female Buddha.
From Tara's heart rainbow light shines forth throughout the six realms and the bardo, enveloping the deceased ones wherever they are, purifying their karma and infusing them with Tara's radiant blessing.
Their forms become brilliant spheres of light and dissolve into Tara's heart-mind--a realm beyond the cycles of suffering, a realm of absolute purity and bliss.
Meditate in this way during the forty-nine days after death, dedicating the merit of your practice to the deceased.
