+In general, visualizing the projection and absorption of light takes place in
+the following way.  First, light streams forth from the mantra chain in the
+heart center and emerges from the crown protuberance, the hair between the
+eyebrows, the tongue, the endless knot at the heart center, the pores of the
+skin, and other such places.  The light pervades all the realms in the ten
+directions, such as our present billionfold world system.  At the tip of the
+light rays are an inconceivable number of male and female bodhisattvas who
+bring forth offering clouds, songs of praise, showers of flowers, and streams
+of perfume.  They make these offerings to all the buddhas and bodhisattvas and
+sing their praises, entreating them to accomplish the welfare of sentient
+beings.  They all then assume the form of yidam deities of various sizes and
+appearances, arising as a display that guides those in need.  Then all the
+deities project divine bodies and light from their navels, secret places,
+hips, knees, soles of their feet with thousand-spoked wheels, and other such
+places.  This display utterly fills the entire world, which resounds with the
+sound of mantra.  In this way, the karmic actions, disturbing emotions, and
+deluded perceptions, along with all habitual tendencies, of all six types of
+beings in the three realms are purified, like frost melted by sunlight.
+Everyone transforms into the form of the yidam deity and the mantra resounds
+on its own, humming like bees from a broken hive.

+     Buddhism by Shechen Gyaltsap IV"
