Chilu (Wyl. 'chi bslu), 'ransoming from impending death' — the main type of practices performed in the Sakya tradition when a practitioner seems to near the time of death because the dakinis are calling him or her back. With this practice we make offerings to the dakinis as a 'ransom' to lengthen the life of the practitioner. They are similar to sundok practices.
