Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
Hello.
Let me ask you a question about practice "The unelaborated, easy to implement Sadhana of the Sole Mother Chokyi Drolma".
It is not clear to me how to do the Yidam practice. The text says that the transformation takes place in Vajrakilaya. But then Tara appears from somewhere.
It is not clear to me at what moment we transform into Tara. Or do we not transform into her, but she is in front of us, and we are transformed into Vajrakilaya?

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
You should ask your teacher, because experience shows that different teachers give very different explanations to different students.

I want to ask the same.
The webcast was not in good quality, so I couldn't understand very much....

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
And yet the same sadhana text exposes the same letters to all practitioners without the slightest individual adaptations!
So, who is then right: The teacher who provides individualized explanations, or the sadhana text that does not?
Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
The sadhana texts differ from teacher to teacher most of the time - AFAIK.
Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
This particular sadhana is very loose and unconventional in many ways.It doesn’t describe the appearance of the yidam in the meditation part but only describes it in the activities.Hence,the confusion.

Kaung, thanks for the answer.
Can you tell me if these comments exist in writing, in the form of text? I find it difficult to comprehend English by ear.
Or maybe you will write a short answer here? How to visualize a yidam?
Thanks.

Yes, it seems because of that and because the name of the yidam and the mantra in this sadhana
is the same as that of an other main male yidam

Keep going with this thread, personally it’s of interest to me. I would like to read more.

This is very technical specific question.
As a general rule of thumb, one does not stand in front normal, without transformation first.
That’s actually not very good thing to do. So your question is very valid, and needs clarification.
Not from me though lol...apparently there’s something “wrong with me”.
Makes perfect sense to me.. but it needs to make perfect sense to you. You need instructions.
Please feel free to PM
Always happy to share what I know.
Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
There isn’t much going on with this cycle,what you’ve got is what you’ve got and that’s it.Maybe we can supplicate Tritsab Rinpoche to compose a commentary or expand it but he doesn’t seem very keen on that.I personally don’t think expanding it would be a good idea.After all,the title says “unelaborated”.But yeah,there are some rituals like divination that might be quite useful but no one to instruct.
Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
Ok, un elaborate is a tell tale sign no?Kaung wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 1:11 pmThere isn’t much going on with this cycle,what you’ve got is what you’ve got and that’s it.Maybe we can supplicate Tritsab Rinpoche to compose a commentary or expand it but he doesn’t seem very keen on that.I personally don’t think expanding it would be a good idea.After all,the title says “unelaborated”.But yeah,there are some rituals like divination that might be quite useful but no one to instruct.
So yes, again I have a personal interest. Beyond just curiosity. Would be happy to chat with the Rinpoche.

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
That’s just my opinion,that it should be practiced in a simple manner,nothing much.Yeah,it’s an interesting practice and would be helpful if Rinpoche can compose a commentary but he can be hard to get to at times and we might have to request as a group.Otherwise,what you get is what you get,just add Mahamudra or Dzogchen and it’s complete.Actually,Drikung lamas tend to have the lung for it,just ask around.As you might already know,you just need the lung for this cycle and any Achi empowerment will do.Danny wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 9:38 pmOk, un elaborate is a tell tale sign no?Kaung wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 1:11 pmThere isn’t much going on with this cycle,what you’ve got is what you’ve got and that’s it.Maybe we can supplicate Tritsab Rinpoche to compose a commentary or expand it but he doesn’t seem very keen on that.I personally don’t think expanding it would be a good idea.After all,the title says “unelaborated”.But yeah,there are some rituals like divination that might be quite useful but no one to instruct.

Re: Achi Chokyi Drolma Yidam
Cool I will.
And it’s related to dzogchen for sure.
I just need to know why.
And that’s what’s the query form my side.
Not expecting anyone else to know the why.
I don’t need an empowerment.
.
Thanks
