Question asked by Marije
Namaste,
In the last couple of weeks a lot of video's appear of you on my YouTube feed. Talking about Vajrayoghini and her practice. I am very drown to her and the practice, but I have no idea where to begin. I am in Kathmandu, Nepal at the moment and there are several tempels here who worship Vajrayoghini, but I haven't found a teacher who can help me to understand more about it. As I want to explore more about Vajrayoghini and her practice, I feel like there are many things that I love about it.
As I know, that there are no coincidences, I know I need to dive deep in this path. Could you help me to find a center or teacher where I can go in Kathmandu?
Warm regards,
Marije
Dear Marije,
Thank you for your question. We have an entire category here full of teachings by Tsem Rinpoche regarding the practice of Vajrayogini: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/category/vajra-yogini
One article I would highly recommend is Starting on Vajrayogini Now: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/inspiration-worthy-words/starting-on-vajra-yogini-now.html
While you are in Nepal, you should go to the Vajrayogini temples there, make many offerings and many aspirational prayers to receive her practice and meet a guru who can guide you. Even though you are in very holy places there, the main issue will be finding a guru who can guide you if you do not speak Nepali.
Also the practice itself belongs to the Higher Yoga Tantra class, which is the highest form of Tantric practice in Buddhism. There is a lot of preparations needed before you can receive the full practice, which is all listed in the article above.
I hope this helps you. Thank you.
