OVERVIEW:
The practice of the female buddha Vajrayoginī (Dorje Naeljorma in Tibetan) is first mentioned in the Root Tantra of Cakrasaṃvara. Of the several lineages of this deity, the form of Vajrayoginī most popular in the Sakya and Gelug traditions stems from the teachings of the great Mahāsiddha Nāropā and is therefore often referred to as “Nāropā’s ḍākinī.”
The practice of the generation and completion stages of Vajrayoginī is profound and simpler than that of most other Highest Yoga Tantra deities. The practice texts are relatively brief and the visualizations accessible, with the essential points codified in a system of teachings known as the eleven yogas. The practice of Vajrayogini employs the methods of tantra to transform afflictions into the path.
IMPORTANT PREQUISITES:
Participation in the Blessing of Vajrayoginī requires having previously received empowerment into a deity practice of Highest Yoga Tantra such as, Cakrasaṃvara, Yamāntaka, Kālacakra, or Guhyasamāja.
PRACTITIONER COMMITTMENTS:
You will be required to recite the Six Session Guru Yoga Sadhana and Vajrayoginī Mantra daily.
