This implies that every single action, word or thought, even the most trivial, is dedicated to the good of all beings.To accomplish the good of others, we must first perfect ourselves, by purifying and transforming our minds. This is the aim of what we all the preliminary practices, which establish the foundations of all spiritual progress. In this book Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche explains a key practice text composed by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892) on the Vajrayana preliminaries: taking refuge, generating the thought of achieving enlightenment for the sake of all beings, performing the meditation and recitation of Vajrasattva to remove hindrances on the path to enlightenment, offering the mandala to accumulate merit and wisdom, and developing proper reliance on a spiritual teacher. Clear, direct and personal, these instructions illuminate the heart of Vajrayana practice. Included here are the Tibetan text as well as the mantras and prayers commonly recited in conjunction with this practice.00aMkhyen-brtseʼi-dbaṅ-po,cʼJam-dbyaṅs,d1820-1892.tSṅon ʼgro mdor bsdus byaṅ chub lam bzaṅ. 0aMeditationxBuddhism. 0aMeditationxRnying-ma-pa (Sect) 0aRnying-ma-pa (Sect)xRituals.
