Sādhanas

This short daily sādhana of Vajrakīlaya concentrates on the ultimate nature of the deity, which is one's very own awareness, beyond imagery and attributes.

A popular practice of Vajrakīlaya in standard form, consisting of refuge and bodhicitta, visualization, mantra recitation, dissolution, dedication of merit, and prayer for auspiciousness.

This simple sādhana of Vajrakīlaya, requested by Sogyal Rinpoche, contains, in the words of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's colophon, 'the concentrated blessings of kama and terma'.

Jamyang Khyentse wrote this recitation guide (bklags thabs) for the Vajrakīla Root Tantra Section (phur pa rtsa dum) at the request of his master of ceremonies, Lama Chokden.

When Jigme Lingpa was in his sixties he ‘translated the signs’ of the four specific sādhanas of Palchen Düpa—Yamāntaka, Hayagrīva, Yangdak Heruka and Vajrakīlaya—at the request of Dodrupchen Jigme Trinle Özer, Jigme Losalchen, and Tsewang Lhamo, the Queen of Derge. This is the sādhana of Vajrakīlaya.

The concluding stages of the Neck-Pouch Kīla (Purba Gulkhukma) sādhana: offering, praise, receiving the attainments, dissolution, dedication of merit and words of auspiciousness.

This is the main text of the Purba Gulkhukma cycle of Vajrakīlaya practice, which Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok revealed at the Asura cave in Yangleshö, Nepal. It includes the empowerment, sādhana and gaṇacakra offering.

This brief Vajrakīlaya sādhana, complete with tsok offering, was revealed as a terma at Katok Monastery.
