Question asked by Marcus Foo
Hi Kechara,
It’s me again.
Thank you for your reply to my first question, I greatly appreciated it. But in regards to my numbers of Sadhana’s… should I just cut them down and just focus on Dorje Shugden and Lama Tsongkhapa Sadhana’s instead? Maybe just follow the Diamond Path?
Thank you so much Pastors.
Sorry to bug you again….
Hello again Marcus!
The key to success for sadhana practice is to do them consistently everyday with focus. As such, it can and does get a little overwhelming if we try to practice too many sadhanas in a day, especially when we have other commitments that we need to fulfill, such as work, studying, family life, etc.
Since this is the case, it would be best just to concentrate on one sadhana. Since you have strong faith in Dorje Shugden, we would recommend that you follow the Diamond Path sadhana daily. However, if you would like, you can include the mantras of other deities you like, between the sections of Lama Tsongkhapa’s Guru Yoga and the Invocation to Dorje Shugden. This way, you do not need to recite the full sadhana of these deities, only their mantra recitation, and you still get the benefits of their practice. But again, it would be best to keep your practice consistent daily. Therefore, most people opt not to include additional mantra. This is however, dependent on your own timing and other commitments. I hope this helps!
