i've ordered Riwo Sangchö incense, for karma purification and also for wisdom.
'The purpose of Riwo Sangchö is to realize the perfection of wisdom, by accumulating merits through two main aspects of practice: offerings, and purification—especially of impurity and of obstructions'.
... i can't do Ngöndro (i am mentally ill, so i have mantras to practice, but meditation is disallowed for me) so I need other ways to purify karma. Perhaps burning this incense is an answer to my need to purify karma.
Why purify Karma?
One needs to help himself/herself first, when one wants to help others efficiently and wisely.
... I've considered Diamond Mind incense, but it's hard to find something at reasonable price. Plus, Riwo Sangchö offering helps to develop Wisdom beside purifying karma. Extra Wisdom will be useful, as it is not my strongest point so far.
Beside Ngöndro, there are two other ways to purify karma that I know of ... but I have mental obstacles that make practicing these difficult, to say at least:
1. How does one purify karma that causes pain?
2. Diamond Mind Mantras: OM BENZA SATO HUNG.
... it is a (Riwo Sangchö) terma that was hidden by Guru Rinpoche and revealed in the seventeenth century by the great yogin and tertön Lhatsün Namkha Jikmé (1597-1653),
... can Lama Ole Nydahl's students use it?
(Guru Rinpoche is part of Transmission Lineage in Karma Kagyu Buddhism, i hope this argument is not 'overstretch', however).
... i wish to break as little of my vows as possible, so I wish my incenses (all of my incenses, not only this one) to work as Lama Ole Nydahl wishes.
... similarly, i wish my candles and crystals to work as Lama Ole Nydahl wishes.
... my TAROT Magick however, is a tool of Witchcraft/Wicca, and should serve my Wiccan/Witch friends the most. Not only TAROT Cards, also TAROT Ritual Tools (Athamé, Chalice, Pentacles and Wand).
Hopefully they (my magical fiends) will join our Sangha, if not in this life, then in future lives. I think that we should be nice to them, i think that they are worthy of our time and efforts.

How does one purify karma that causes pain?
The Solution.
This happens through four stages of one's inner attitude:
- First, one realizes that one has caused pain.
- Second, one wishes to remove what is disturbing.
- Third, one makes the firm decision not to do it again.
- Fourth, one consciously decided to act in the opposite way.
-- Quoted from 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.

Purifying Karma that causes pain can occur because of the two reasons:
- Because we are Compassionate, we do not wish others to suffer,
- Because bad Karma chases us or we feel attacked.
When someone or something causes a pain to us, we often forget that it's our own bad Karma that caused this situation.
When we experience bad karma, we should understand it's ripening result of our own bad actions from the past.
i think we should try to understand what we did in past - in this life or in previous lives - research the Causes of current Karma & situation, then purify it using the four steps mentioned above.
An important step in Understanding the Causes of Pain is learning that Karma we seed comes back - that the energy we send returns to us ... in other words what we do to others we'll experience later as well.
This is not only a Buddhist Lesson, it's also a Polish Catholic advice: 'Don't do unto others what you don't like'; i think that other Religions & World Views also have similar lessons - i mention this for the benefit of non Buddhist readers as well.
Considering that, the Causes of Pain might seem obvious - perhaps if i am poor, it's because that i caused poverty in others, or i was greedy - so perhaps i should just make a wish that Protects every being from Poverty - then as a consequence go to honest work & share the wealth with others now instead ... but let's not forget about the deeper Causes - these should be addressed as well.

Other wishes:
- i wish our Mind(s) to be Stronger, our thoughts & feelings to be better Guarded - including being Guarded from being perceived by enemies or from being manipulated by enemies as well; this wish should reduce Mental Ilness i suffer from, i think; this wish should reduce other Causes of Pain i suffer from as well, i think.
