I do Vajrayogini practice, I do the Heruka body mandala practice and they go well. I have done the full Vajrayogini retreat and I did get certain signs. There was nothing spectacular you understand, but something at least. They involve profound practices these, such as working with the Inner Fire. Milarepa, who felt it to be the foundation of the path, particularly stressed this latter thing. Meditation on the inner fire is something that comes up in all the practices of the Highest Yoga deities. A special section set aside for the visualisation and working with this inner fire at the end of the mantra recitation indicates its pride of place. It figures in the Vajrayogini, as in the other generation and completion stage practices. They are profound practices. I have faith in them and I do them myself. However, some people try to make out as though Vajrayogini is in fact not really a Sakya practice. However, they can point to no texts on the subject by Je Rinpoche or his main disciples. These people are therefore forced to resort to a line of reasoning in which they go through eliminating each of the other Tantric practices, and come up with the conclusion that it was this one that was Je Rinpoche's chief practice, but that he performed it covertly. In reality, this is a Sakya teaching."

That is ridiculous; it was not like that at all. One just has to look at the works that they composed, like the Stages of the Path by Phabongkha or that of Trijang Rinpoche. They were really both masters of and heirs to that tradition. I took many Stages of the Path teachings from Trijang Rinpoche. It was quite evident that there was something quite distinct in his way of explaining, something very special about it. In terms of Tantra, as well, he was a master, particularly of Heruka Chakrasamvara, and that he was a great yogi is a generally accepted fact. Therefore, the real contribution and achievement of both of these two figures was in terms of their mastery of the Stages of the Path, Mind Training and Heruka practise. Dolgyal was only ever a secondary thing..... Anyway, I am of the opinion that Phabongkha and Trijang Rinpoche's promotion of the worship of Dolgyal was a mistake. But their worship represents merely a fraction of what they did in their lives. Their contributions in the areas of Stages of the Path, Mind Training and Tantra teachings were considerable. Their contribution in these areas was unquestionable and in no way invalidated by involvement with Dolgyal." </FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">( </FONT><A title=http://www.dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/speeches-by-his-holiness/gelug-conference href="http://www.dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/speeches-by-his-holiness/gelug-conference"><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">http://www.dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/speeches-by-his-holiness/gelug-conference</FONT></A><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">&nbsp;)</FONT></DIV><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT></DIV><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT></DIV><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV> </DIV> <FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small"><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><BR></DIV></FONT> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">&nbsp;</FONT> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr></div> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><font size=3 face="Century Gothic"><img style="HEIGHT: 295px" id=INCREDIINSERTIMAGE border=0 align=absMiddle src="trijang45559.jpg" incrediimageextensions></font></div> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><STRONG>The saintly Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche - </STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><STRONG>Junior Tutor of the Dalai Lama</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr> <div align="justify"><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">" ... Kyabje Phabongkha Rinpoche was really an incredibly great master. As I always say, he is virtually the supreme holder of the Stages of the Path (Lam rim) and Mind Training (Lo jong) traditions. But with regard to Dolgyal he seems to have made mistakes. Rinpoche himself was a highly realized being. He was capable of enthralling anything - human or non-human - at will and so call on their assistance. That is quite possible, but it is a different matter (from seeking ordinary assistance). Trijang Rinpoche was also an exception..... Similarly, with regard to Trijang Rinpoche, I don t believe his behaviour in relation to Gyalchen ( or shugden )&nbsp;was correct. I don t visualise it as divine activity. However, I don t use it as ground for losing faith in him either. He was really such an important Lama to me. I received immeasurable kindness from him even when I was very small. It may seem a little boastful if I give you this example of my strong faith in Trijang Rinpoche. I often dream of my lamas, and in one clear dream Kyabje Rinpoche was urinating and I was lapping it up. So, I do have single pointed faith in him.....</FONT></div> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">But the fact that I have faith in him doesn t mean that I should have faith in everything that he did. And when Kyabje Rinpoche was still alive, I was able to tell him so. Now, I belong to the line coming from Kyabje Phabongkha, and I hold the lineage of my two tutors.....</FONT></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">( </FONT><A title=http://www.dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/speeches-by-his-holiness/dharamsala-teaching href="http://www.dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/speeches-by-his-holiness/dharamsala-teaching"><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">http://www.dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/speeches-by-his-holiness/dharamsala-teaching</FONT></A><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic">&nbsp;)</FONT></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><STRONG><EM><U>________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</U></EM></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><STRONG><U><FONT size=5>Sponsors' list for Most Venerable Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche's projects at Tso Pema</FONT></U></STRONG></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr><FONT size=3 face="Century Gothic"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; DIRECTION: ltr; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: x-small" dir=ltr> <DIV><STRONG><U><EM>Names:</EM></U> <U><EM>Received Amount:</EM></U></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 12pt" dir=ltr id=IncrediOriginalFontSize> <DIV id=INCREDI_TEXT_AREA> <DIV>1.
