Magical Attraction Practices with Kurukulla and Mahadeva
In the Higher Tantras of Tibetan Buddhsim, known as Anuttara Tantra, there are four principal kinds of magical activities, corresponding to the colors white, yellow, red, and green. Nevertheless, in each case in terms of Buddhism, the motivation of any Trinlay, or magical action practice, is always Bodhichitta, or compassion for all sentient beings and the desire to release them from their suff ering experienced in Samsara. Vashikarana, or red magic, functions to attract, overpower, and magnetize whatever obstacles may appear on the spiritual path.
