Who knew?

I have only been present at one chod and chips practice. The chips are usually on my shoulder or in some pain, dukkha or stiffness.
Fortunately my pet demons and good friends from the hell realms accept all negativity, suffering physical or mental as picnic treats.
Eat me!
It is quite natural when we are new to the dharma to focus on building stability and positive associations and sacred mind space. This is a foundation of refuge and confirmation.
The Chod practice I was present at involved transmission to a Buddhist in a wheel chair.
Imagine offering pain, illness, disability, anguish, fear, Donald Jay Rump and other impediments to demons ... They love all that bad stuff.
In Dharma the worst demons are our anger, lust for 'my little pony' perfections, egoic expressions of self esteem, avoidance of hard and painful realities, fear from our imagination etc.

That's the great thing about Buddhism, the sheer diversity, all sorts of weird and wondrous ideas are included.
