Rainbow Body of Great Transformation ('ja' lus 'pho ba chen po). When, through having performed the ultimate practices of the Great Perfection, a yogin is on the verge of dissolving his or her body into rainbow light, he may concentrate awareness on the tips of the finger nails (which are considered dead parts of the body). As with Vimalamitra and Guru Padmasambhava, doing so results in a body of light remaining visible for the sake of all sentient beings. This is the wisdom form called the Rainbow Body of Great Transformation ('ja' lus 'pho ba chen po). If the yogin chooses not to do this concentration, as with Chetsun Senge Wangchuk (lce btsun seng ge dbang phyug 10th-11th cent.), his body will dissolve entirely into light. [MR-ShabkarNotes]

Rakta {rak ta}. Inner offering symbolizing blood. [RY]
 
rakta of the "six causes" liberated through being slain. The Rakta of the six causes of Samsara. These six causes are the six kleshas or mental afflictions: There are at least three different enumerations of these six. In a Vajrayana context, they are taught in relation to the six syllables of the mani mantra and the six realms of samsara. In these explanations there are the more common set of five kleshas (taught in relation to the five Buddha families): ignorance, anger, pride, desire, and envy. Added to these are either doubt (for the human realm, as for example in the 15th Karmapa's short instruction text on the practice of Avalokiteshvara), or miserliness (for the preta realm, desire being associated with the human realm). In the Abhidharma, the six root kleshas are described as being ignorance, anger, desire, pride, uncertainty and wrong views. [Peter Roberts]
 
rakta that contains the thirty-five ingredients. The thirty-five ingredients of rakta (literally "blood", though the highly charged Tantric terminology should not be taken literally. This "blood-offering" is in fact meant to be seen as the offering of the blood of the slain mind-poisons of ignorance, pride, anger, attachment and envy.): / The first ingredient actually consists of three kinds of rakta : A) "The rakta of completely pure space" which means ideally blood from the lotus of a dakini such as Padmakara's consort, Yeshe Tsogyal (space and lotus being euphemisms for vagina), or otherwise the first menstrual blood of a human yogini with special characteristics, or otherwise the menstrual blood of a virgin of a good family, or otherwise of a healthy female of a good family, or otherwise sindhura (see the following note) from a powerful sacred place. / B) "The Rakta of Existence", which is natural bitumen, said to originate from the menstrual blood of the Consorts of the Buddhas of the four directions: Buddha-Lochana, Mamaki, Pandara and Samaya-Tara, who are the consorts of Akshobhya (east), Ratnasambhava (south), Amitabha (west) and Amoghasiddhi (north). / 3) "The Secret-Channel Rakta", which is the heart-blood from the life-channel (the aorta) of someone who has died of old age. This is also called "The Channel-Rakta of the twelve phases of interdependent origination", because all twelve, from ignorance to death, are complete within it. / The next ten ingredients are "fixatives" for the root ingredient. They are such substances as red sandalwood, safflower, cloves, nutmeg, pomegranate and mulberry leaves. / The other twenty-five ingredients are the "branch ingredients" and are five groups of five substances, all called "The Rakta (blood) for which no life has been taken". That is they are all natural substances. there are five kinds of stone-rakta, such as vermilion and red ochre; five kinds of wood-rakta, such as lac, sandalwood and wolfsbane; five juice-raktas, such as musk, raw sugar and honey; five fruit-raktas, such as raisins, barberries and emblic myrobalan; and five flower-raktas, such as Incarvillea. / There is a special method to prepare and bless these substances, therefore their acquisition and processing is a specialist task. A practitioner therefore relies upon a little ready-prepared rakta being supplied. / This is also the case for the dharma-medicine used for the amrita, which requires an even greater range of ingredients. [Peter Roberts]
 
rakta that has sindhura as an ingredient. Sindhura literally means "sediment from the banks of the Indus", a red earth from a place sacred to Vajrayogini, though the word is used for sacred red earth from any place. Lead oxide (red-lead powder) is often used as a substitute. [Peter Roberts]

Rechungpa - The long-life empowerment, according to the tradition of the "Sole Mother Queen of the Siddhas" (ma gcig grub pa'i rgyal mo), is an important longevity practice in the Kagyu lineage. When Rechungpa, Milarepa's moon-like disciple, was struck by leprosy he was sent to India to find a cure for his illness. There he met the Indian master known as Guru Balachandra (bla ma ba la tsan dra). One day Balachandra told Rechungpa, "Today, you must go to the Happy City (dga' ba)." There Rechungpa met an Indian ascetic, wearing a deerskin on his shoulder, who was blowing a thighbone trumpet. Staring piercingly at Rechungpa, the ascetic told him: "You have only seven months more to live." Filled with anxiety, Rechungpa came back to Balachandra and told him what had happened. Balachandra said: "I knew all about it, but so that you would believe it, I sent you there." Then Balachandra went on: "Go to the place called the 'Golden Mandala of Meadows and Woods" (shing spang gser gyi mandal) and meet there the dakini called 'The Sole Mother Queen of the Siddhas' (ma gcig grub pa'i rgyal mo). She has attained the siddhi of Amitayus (tshe dpag med), the Buddha of Boundless Life, who blessed her in reality; she alone can save you from dying within seven months." Rechungpa went and made his request to the dakini,who asked: "How much more life do you want?" Rechungpa answered: "Until I feel it's all right to die." So the Sole Mother made the prayer: "May the son live the number of years that separate him from his father," and spoke: "Live forty-four years more!" (Milarepa, 1040-1123, was forty-four years older than Rechungpa, 1084-1161). When Rechungpa did the longevity practice that the Queen of the Siddhas had taught him, he became cured of his illness. He went back to Tibet and again met Jetsun Mila who, offering a mandala, asked Rechungpa to give him one of the pith instructions that he received in India. Accordingly, Rechungpa offered to Mila this longevity practice, which is focused both on Amitayus to extend life and on Hayagriva to dispel obstacles. The transmission then came down to Gampopa and to all the teachers of the Dagpo Kagyu lineage. It came to the Drukpa Kagyu lineage through Gyalwa Götsangpa (rgyal ba rgod tshang pa, 1189-1258) and later to the Gelukpa lineage through Je Tsongkhapa (rje tsong kha pa, 1357-1419). See sgrub thabs kun btus, vol. 1, pp.263-309 and 377-90. [MR-ShabkarNotes]
