Hi, I am new here.

Just finished reading the translation articles posted here...But need to ask a question. Grandmaster mentioned dispersing mudra several times. How does one form it? from the way Grandmaster described it, it seems to be the polite way of sending off deities without offending them?

Tried to look for it in tbsn.org, no mention of how to form it...Thought it would be useful to add footnotes (or hyperlinks ) to unfamiliar terms...

just some thoughts ::)

Dispersing mudra........here at all the TBS ceremony, what we do is first chant Om Mani Padme Hum once......clap our hands twice and then cross our hands and make a snapping sound with the middle finger and the thumbs on both left and right hands at the same time.

Once we snap our fingers, we are dispersing the Dieties by
telling them politely to go back.
