Thanks Element.

Are you asking me to name particular rites/rituals that are used by (and are reported as being efficacious) and attributed to certain mystic or sages?

Hi,

I hope that you dont mind if I jump in here a bit.

I can only speak from my own tradition of TB. There are a great many Rituals and "Rites" that are used to help us along the path. Fomaly taking Refuge , Vows of Personal liberation, Enpowernments and others are all part of what the Lamas laid out as a skillful means to end suffering. Marpa, Milerepa, Gampopa and many others set out these methoids in a very orderly sequence.

Of course there are other equaly valid Paths that do not use these means.

All the Best
