Khon Skyakya Lodro ('khon shakya blo gros), a member of the Khon family that
would later initiate the Sakya tradition and a holder of the same Yangdak Heruka
and Vajrakila lineages, saw in Ralo a serious rival to his influence and survival as a
sought-after teacher. He accused Ralo of propagating a non-Buddhist teaching, one
that would lead all Tibetans to Hell.
According to the hagiography Ralo slew Shakya Lodro with the killing rite of
Vajrabhairava, and witnesses saw Vajrabharava in the sky carrying the 58-deity
maala of Yandak Heruka as a sign of the Vajrabhairava's superiority. Shakya
Lodro's disciples and feudal subjects then became disciples of Ralo.
Later a similar contest arose between him and Langlap Jangchub Dorje (lang lab
byang chub rdo rje), another important Vajrakila master. Ralo had gone to pay his
respects to the venerable teacher, but Langlap, like Shakya Lodro, dismissed Ralo as
a purveyor of non-Buddhist magic.
In the ensuing contest, however, Ralo was defeated, his disciples slain by Langlap's
superior magic. According to the hagiography Ralo then experienced a vision of
Tara, who sent him to Nepal for further instructions from Bharo and other Nepali
masters. Upon his return to Tibet he once again engaged Langlap, this time
emerging victorious and slaying the Nyingma lama.

Biography of rechungpa
We find an explicit example of the defence of sorcery in the biography of one of its
great practitioners, who was a contemporary of Rechungpa and appears in his
biographies. Ra Lotsawa was a master of the Yamntaka practice, which is
particularly associated with lethal sorcery. In some biographies, Milarepas sorcery is
said to have been Yamntaka.
Ras biography lists a number of other lamas and lotsawas that he slew, including
Marpas own son. Shortly after slaying a number of people with a twirl of his phurba,
he is implored by Ngok Dod (rNgog mDo-sde) the son of Marpas pupil Ngoktn,
not to harm beings, as it will give him a bad reputation. In reply, Ra Lotsawa sings:
This slaying activity of mine,
In terms of benefit for oneself or benefit for others,
Is for the benefit of others.
It is to benefit beings that are difficult to teach
It is said in the Guhyasamja
If through this kind of secret vajra
One slays all beings
One will be reborn as a bodhisattva
In the realm of Buddha Akobhya.

This is what Vajradhara taught.

In another parallel, Ra Lotsawa is depicted as teaching Ngok Dod (10901166), the
pupil and successor of Ngoktn, one of Marpas principal pupils, and it is made clear
that it is Ras instructions that bring him to liberation.
Ra also liberates Marpa Sonam Rinchen (Mar-pa bod-nams Rin-chen), who was a
pupil and relative of Marpa, and a holder of his lineage, but who had failed to gain
success through fourteen years of practising Marpas instruction.This establishes
the superiority of Ra Lotsawas instruction to those of the Marpa Kagyu lineages.
Furthermore, through his superior sorcery, Ra Lotsawa kills Marpas son, Darma
Dod, whose own sorcery attacks had failed to harm Ra Lotsawa. Also, Ra Lotsawa
magically slays those pupils of Marpa who try to prevent him from paying homage
at Marpas tomb; he then passes through its walls and there spontaneously appear
miraculous relics for him to take away, thus showing that even Marpa, after his
death, honours the lama who killed his son.
