You can look at the wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantra_of_Light The audio file there is computer generated and messed up but there is this Youtube video as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puhzLkiCtDo Duh, I just realized that is probably the Mantra of Light, which is central to the Shingon tradition.

It was probably a standard Japanese mantra (sinofied Sanskrit). Was it just a single phrase over and over again? Since I didn’t witness that one at Burning Man, I’m not sure.

I was blessed to have witnessed it. It was very beautiful, and very spiritual. Do you by chance know where I can get a copy of the prayer/chant that is said during the Goma ritual? Thanks for any help you can offer. There was indeed a Goma performed at Burning Man in 2005. I was blessed to have witnessed it. It was very beautiful, and very spiritual.

I know that completely doing a retreat for a deity normally involves a fire puja at the end. You can find a few examples on Youtube (at least in part) but I'd already cluttered the post up with enough video. :-) Yeah, you seem them at three month retreats for deities.

Wasn't there also one in _Monsoon Wedding_? Hey Al,
