VAJRASATTVA PRACTICE INSTRUCTIONS
by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
[...] The practice of Vajrasattva, or Dorje Sempa in Tibetan, is the second of four sections in the ngondro practice. For those who are currently doing ngondro, and more specifically the Vajrasattva practice, it is important and helpful to receive the empowerment of Vajrasattva, which should help you relate to and strengthen your practice.
The wholesome tradition of transmission by empowerment has been passed down carefully from teacher to student until the present time. It is referred to as "ripening the practitioner through the empowerment". The empowerment (or WANG in Tibetan) is a transmission of the blessing that empowers us to perform the practice. Through the empowerment, the practice has a ripening quality, but still we must receive instruction in what we have been empowered to practice. Once we have received instructions and are doing the practice, this is what liberates us from habitual patterns and conflicting emotions. [...] excerpt from page 1.

GURU PUJA
by First Panchen Lama
Within the Tantra tradition, reliance upon and devotion to one's Guru are of paramount importance - without them progress on the path to Enlightenment cannot be made. Thus, Guru Yoga is the foundation of Mahayana tantric practice, and gives vitality to the serious practitioner's meditation. This fifth reprint of The Guru Puja and The Hundred Deities of the Land of Joy provides the student with two essential prayers for such practice, and the juxtaposition of the Tibetan transliteration and English translation of these prayers is intended to facilitate their use by non-Tibetan Buddhist practitioners.

GURU YOGA: According to the Preliminary Practice of Longchen Nyingtik
by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, trans. by Gelong Konchog Tenzin (Matthieu Ricard)
Why is the practice guru yoga, (union with the nature of the guru) so important? Because, with the help of the outer teacher, the inner teacher (the true nature of our own mind) is discovered. This particular guru yoga is called The Wish-fulfilling Jewel and is the outer practice of the guru from the Longchen Nyingtik revelation of Rigdzin Jikme Lingpa. It was during a summer retreat in France in 1984 that Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche gave teachings on this text. This is a new commentary and not a re-edit of teachings in the book The Wish-fulfilling Jewel.

UNION OF BLISS AND EMPTINESS: On the Practice of Guru Yoga
by H.H. the Dalai Lama
The origins of the instructions on this Lama Choepa (guru yoga) practice are traced back to the explanatory tantra called Vajramala, in which the visualization of the body mandala deities on the guru's body is explained according to Guhyasamaja. Since the integral practice of Yamantaka, Guhyasamaja and Heruka has great merit and advantages, Lama Choepa explains how to do it on the basis of this guru yoga practice. In this unique and clearly laid out commentary, the actual practice is explained on the basis of Guhyasamaja, the preliminaries such as the self-generation on the basis of Yamantaka, and the performing of offerings and so forth according to Heruka.
