This important collection of teachings from the Northern Treasures Vajraki-la cycle includes liturgical practice texts (sadhana) from the original treasure revelations, together with explanatory notes and commentaries by the 17th century master Padma ’phrin-las on how to take these practices into a closed retreat and employ them for the highest benefit of oneself and all living beings. Having become empowered in the mandala of Vajraki-la by a master guru, trainees may use the skilful esoteric techniques, described herein, in order to develop a profound experiential certainty of the true nature of reality. These texts are manuals, designed to be studied by disciplined individuals who wish to train themselves in skilful altruism. They are traditional methods for overcoming the instincts of egoistic self-interest, allowing the mind to become focussed on the general welfare of the world, so that beneficial changes of great social value may be brought about in both thought and behaviour. Painstakingly researched and annotated, this volume includes English translations of eight important texts, together with much of the original Tibetan. Within the instructions for the preparation and protection of the retreat area are hitherto unpublished details of the means to suppress the various classes of afflicting demons (sri) that are potential causes of downfall for all tantric yogins. This is an ancient and vital aspect of vajrayana ritual practice that has been much neglected until now.
Vol.1 Gathering the Elements A detailed study of the Vajrakila tradition, looking at its origins, significance and lines of transmission, as well as a history of the Northern Treasures (Byang-gter) school and an overview of the approximately 200 available texts of Vajrakila that it maintains. This book is a new and completely revised edition of the study formerly published as The Cult of the Wrathful Deity Vajrakila, incorporating the latest research on the subject and freshly translated material.
Vol.2 A Roll of Thunder from the Void Including ritual practice texts (sadhana) from the original treasure revelations, together with explanatory commentaries by the master Padma ‘phrin-las on how to employ these practices for the highest benefit of oneself and all living beings. Within the instructions for the preparation and protection of sacred space are details of the means to suppress the various classes of afflicting demons (sri) that are potential causes of downfall for all tantric yogins. (This book)
Vol.3 A Blaze of Fire in the Dark Rituals for fire sacrifice (homa), traditionally performed at the end of a retreat, and rites of empowerment (abhiseka).
