Vajrayana Practices
(Empowerment Required)
EmailListButton_Opaque SearchSite Button ViewCartButton0202

These practices require empowerment and/or lung in order to purchase. Please check with your initiating Lama if you have questions.

This page - various Practices (see below).

Page 2 - the Nam Chö Ngöndro practice, which also requires an empowerment.

The practice texts below are available in two sizes: 8.5"x11" and 6"x9". In both of these sizes they are also available in both a spiral-bound printed book and as a downloadable PDF file so you can print it yourself. The 6"x9" size has margins such that the PDF pages can be cropped to fit in a 5.5" x 8.5" binder.  One printing note from our experience is that if you want to print the 6”x9” PDF file double-sided, cut your paper to a 6" width before you put it in the printer. Then when you print the back side, both sides will fit on the paper (the margins will line up). You can trim the pages afterwards to the 5 1/2" size if you like.

Chime Sog Thig

A long-life practice of Amitayus and consort, Chendali, revealed by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche. This is the practice accomplished in Maratika cave by Guru Rinpoche and Mandarava.

We offer a teaching on this practice by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo at Dakini Valley. This teaching was given while doing the actual Chime Sog Thig practice and inserting the tsog offering portion from the Shower of Blessings. You must have the empowerment and transmissions to hear this teaching (or have been present when it was given). The recordings are of the complete practice and include a tsog. We recommend you set up a tsog and listen in exactly the way it was done, chanting along with Jetsunma and the Sangha as they do it in English, listen to her explanations and then with gratitude offer a tsog to seal the blessing. You will be glad you did.

The AudioCD set has been divided into tracks (and particularly into separate tracks for each of Jetsunma’s explanations of the five Mandalas) so you can re-listen to the explanations more easily as you deepen in the practice. Unfortunately, it is not possible to do this with the mp3s.

Jetsunma subsequently led the Chime Sog Thig practice at KPC-Maryland. We offer two MP3 files from that practice here, that may also help to learn the core of the practice - the six HRI visualizations and the chant tunes associated with them. 

The first MP3 file provides Jetsunma’s explanations of the six HRIs along with her leading the chants for them:

GPC-158B_CSTatMD-JAL_HRIsWithExplanation.mp3 (7 MB File)

The second MP3 file only contains Jetsunmas chant tunes for the six HRIs:

GPC-158C_CSTatMD-JAL_HRIs-ChantsOnly.mp3 (4 MB File)

To download these files, right-click on the MP3 file, choose “Save Target As”,
and save it on your computer.

May your life be long and healthy and may all beings reap the benefit!
