How Lama Tsongkhapa transforms to Vajrayogini

The best anyone can do if not enlightenment for now, is to gain mastery over taking rebirth coupled with developing Three Principle Paths. Where you want to take rebirth can be determined by yourself if you practice the sacred Vajra Yogini Tantra thoroughly.

*

Start now before you are awarded the Vajra Yogini empowerment by:

Holding vows and commitments.
Be honourable and have integrity.
Whatever work or practices you've been assigned, do it diligently and happily.
Develop contemplations on the good qualities of one's lama again and again.
Never give up.
Practice the 8 Verses of Thought Transformation.

Make it a point to get along with everyone or as much as possible & be forgiving.

Study Lam Rim, Wheel of Sharp Weapons, Bodhisattvacha-avatara by Shantideva, Lojong, 50 Verses of Guru Devotion by Ashvagosha.

Commit to one practice that is light and easy yet profound such as Tsongkapa Guru Yoga daily without fail.

Follow your Teacher loyally and all the way.

*

Then next step:

Engage in the preliminary practices slowly but surely and finish.

Guru Yoga
Vajrasattva
Mandala
Prostrations
Water offerings
35 Confessional Buddhas

Don't start practice only when you get Vajra Yogini's empowerment, because you can start now! Prepare for the empowerment immediately by engaging everything I mentioned above. You have Vajra Yogini now. She is everywhere and She is ready for you. If you wish or if your teacher says start, start in this way that I've written. Start now. Don't wait. Nothing happens when we wait. It gets harder the longer we wait.
Obtain a sacred image of Vajra Yogini on your shrine and do all the practices I mentioned 'directed' or focused towards Her. All the practices, readings, contemplations use Her as your Universal Buddha. The Buddha that encompasses all Enlightened Beings as your focus. Hence you create powerful affinity with Her this way. So you should be starting now. If you do as I have mentioned, then when you finally receive the Empowerment of Vajra Yogini, you will be READY to practice Her sacred Tantra and reap the results much quicker!! Reap the results quicker because you have prepared for it well and thoroughly. Don't recieve a sacred empowerment of Vajra Yogini without doing the preparatory practices now when you have the chance.

Good Luck!

Don't waste time and procrastinate due to excuses that arise from empty reasonings.

@dabeisyin I'm also new to Buddhism. I don't understand what you mean One Buddha and many transformations. Based on your interpretation, it sounds like Hinduism (One god but many transformations). My interpretation of One Buddha is "Everyone who attains Buddha-hood will see the same teaching of The Buddha, the One path of enlightenment as the same as what The Buddha has achieved." I see the "Buddha"(you mean) as the teaching not a form of deity. Again, I also don't know if it's correct.

Do you think that Vajrayogini goes to Sukhavati for tea too?

[dabeisyin]

This is kinda hard to understand but one time I was in this class and I read this line in the Sutra where it says there is in reality only one Buddha. And so I was very new to Buddhism you know and learning about all these different Buddhas like Guan Yin and Earth Store Bodhisattva and stuff and when I read it in the Sutra it just came to me... oh they are all the one Buddha with many transformations, so I wanted to see if I was correct or not, because like I said I was really a Baby Buddhist

This is a rare teaching by HE Tsem Rinpoche on how Lama Tsongkhapa is Vajrayogini ... it explains why we need to focus on Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga practise, sadhana and mantras
