The third part of the meditation is Buddha breath. On every inhale imagine you are removing the ignorance and suffering of others, other people specifically, and those generally locally and globally. And on every exhale imagine you are sending them compassion and happiness. Imagine you are a conduit of Buddha or supreme consciousness. Imagine that the transmutation of suffering and ignorance into happiness and compassion is all done through you, instigated by you making the connection with above and below.
Imagine lotus flowers from Buddha consciousness being transported through you on every exhale, and on every inhale the fiery pain and suffering of Samsara is drawn into a fiery lotus flower that remains in front of you. This flower burns up the ignorance and suffering drawn into it. Finish the meditation by keeping a lotus flower for yourself, perhaps on the crown of your head, and imagining light shining through you and onto you cleansing you of any leftover negativity.
Each step of the process can take as long as you like or as long as it takes to come to a realization through the first four concepts, send love through the second set of concepts and complete the Buddha Breathing that is inhaling suffering and exhaling healing as a seed of Buddha.
