The term “Zhuo Huo Ding” (Tummo Concentration 拙火定) is widely recognized in Tibet. Practicing this skill has the potential to alter body temperature, and when mastered, it is believed to eliminate all diseases within oneself. Moreover, adept practitioners can employ Zhuo Huo to heal others, and advanced individuals may even achieve the transformation of their bodies into light. However, finding individuals who have truly mastered this skill is rare nowadays. Notably, there have been recent reports of Tibetan yogis practicing Zhuo Huo in winter, gradually drying wet felt cloth draped over their bodies.
While many have heard about the dharma of Tummo Concentration, witnessing a genuine manifestation of Tummo power is exceptionally challenging. In contemporary Tibet, India, and other locations, numerous lamas engage in Tummo concentration. However, when they emerge from extended seclusion practices, only a few manage to demonstrably raise their body temperature. At most, they symbolically wear a wet blanket while moving around the temple. Those who attain this initial level are revered as holy and venerable, reflecting the gradual loss of tantric dharmas across generations.
Tummo concentration, as a high-class Buddha-dharma of meditation, is an essential practice for cultivating the life power of the body, mind-wind, and bright spot, leading to the accomplishment of a rainbow-light body. Regardless of the ailment, Tummo practice is believed to have the capacity to eliminate it entirely, making it the nemesis of the demon of illness. Positioned within the realm of supreme yoga, mastering this dharma combined with Vajra Body Substitution Meditation can elevate one to the rank of a Bodhisattva at the twelfth stage or higher.
Two types of Tummo concentration practices exist: Yoga Tummo from Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism and Corpse-Laying Tummo, regarded as the “King of Tummo.” The practitioner’s ability to raise body temperature correlates with their realization power, surpassing typical human body temperatures. The realization power evolves through four steps, from the Initial Warmth Step to the Delight at Extreme Temperature. Each step corresponds to an increase in body temperature and an augmentation of the practitioner’s healing abilities.
Comparisons between practitioners often highlight the mastery of Zhuo Huo, with some claiming attainment of high levels. However, when juxtaposed with the technique of the renowned Rinpoche Wangze, these claims fall short.
On October 15, 2009, five Buddhist masters of the Gelug school, including the 8th SongJi Rinpoche, Gamadega Gonglare Rinpoche, Yongdeng Gongbu Rinpoche, American Rinpoche Zhaxi Zhuoma, and the 16th Chongdi Rinpoche, received a “Zhuo Huo removal of obstacles blessing” from the highly respected Holy Master Wangze Rinpoche, in the United States. Wangze Rinpoche is a devoted disciple of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. This blessing miraculously eliminated their illnesses and negative karma.
During the blessing ceremony, Rinpoche Wangze engaged in a sequence of actions with SongJi Rinpoche. First, he placed his palm in front of SongJi, making three deliberate motions of opening and closing his hand while instructing him to pay close attention. Subsequently, Rinpoche Wangze gently rested his palm on the top of SongJi’s head. Initially, SongJi perceived the touch as gentle and soft. However, within a few minutes, a sensation of heat began to radiate from his feet, gradually enveloping his back, neck, the back of his head, and culminating at the top of his head.
Suddenly, Rinpoche Wangze’s palm emitted an intense, fiery sensation at the crown of SongJi’s head, causing an unbearable pain within a mere two seconds. Describing the experience, SongJi expressed, “It was more agonizing than placing a red-hot iron on the top of my head.” In that brief span, a conspicuous red lump manifested on the crown, with certain areas burning through the skin and emitting black smoke. Simultaneously, SongJi experienced an extraordinary sense of physical and mental comfort. Several hours later, a yellow, crystal-like substance emerged at the site of the lump. According to insights from an elderly hidden yogi, this phenomenon is known as “merit honey,” a rare and auspicious occurrence indicating the elimination of impurities or karmic obstacles accumulated by Buddhists.
Following the release of merit honey, all existing ailments in SongJi Rinpoche’s body miraculously vanished. Kama Dege Gongla Rinpoche, belonging to the Kagyu sect, also underwent the Zhuo Huo Dispelling Obstacles Empowerment from Wangze Rinpoche. In a matter of seconds, a distinctive mark was burned into his philtrum. Yongdeng Gongbu Rinpoche bore a notable imprint on his forehead and between his eyebrows, outcomes of the empowerment. Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche, too, retained a Zhuo Huo mark on her throat, accompanied by the flow of black qi from the respective marks.
