Reading from Introduction to Uncommon Yoga of Inconceivability sadhana
  1. Visualising channels
  2. Generating Vajrayogini at the navel - generating mind Vajrayogini = the most important practice for the practice of the uncommon yoga of inconceivability to be successful

The 6 stage: we practice this visualising the channels for 2 reasons - a) to … b) to receive blessings on our inner channels drops and winds so that our practice on the uncommon yoga of inconceivability will be successful

  1. Purifying and transforming the world and its beings. With the motivation of cherishing of all living beings, believing that their happiness and freedom are more important than our own, we engage in this practice to fulfil our Tantric vows. So we will experience the world and its beings as completely pure. The purpose of this meditation is to develop universal compassion. We should know that learning to cherish others is the best method to be happy.

When we receive HYT empowerments we have commitment to benefit all living beings right now. We have no ability to benefit living beings because we are still beginners. So we do this through imagination or believing with a good heart. We purify all worlds and beings and transform them into pure worlds and being. From the heart of my mind Vajrayogini at the navel, immeasurable 5 coloured rays of light radiate (see the sadhana).

At Fall Festival in Berlin 2005, Geshe-la said:

When we hear these 19 (commitments) at first we think they are so complicated. In reality they are simple. First, cherish others. This is necessary for success in our tantric practice. In reality, if we think I must cherish others without exception and try to put it into practice, then we won’t receive any downfalls.

Portugal:

If we fulfil the Tantric commitments as promised we will experience everything as pure. Our world as Keajra Pure Land, ourself as Vajrayogini, surrounded by dakas and dakinis. We can do this with correct imagination. It does not matter if it is the real truth. We can’t find the real truth of anything. There is only emptiness. Belief or imagination means imputation. We should be satisfied with imputations. This works very well. If we believe all the beings surrounding us are yogis and yoginis, dakas or dakini, heroes or heroines, we will naturally respect them. How beneficial! We should really believe this mentally. If we say this verbally people will think we’re crazy. We should never say this. But mentally this is correct. If we see others as bodhisattvas, we will never see their faults, but only their good qualities. If we see others as pure beings we will respect them. And if we respect them they will respect us and fulfil our correct wishes. This will work and be beneficial.

  1. continued… Gaining deep familiarity with our mind Vajrayogini is very important. We should do this with the vase breathing meditation.

The actual practice of the uncommon yoga of inconceivability:

Because the mind is empty it can reach anywhere just by thinking. By gaining deep familiarity with my mind Vajrayogini we will instantaneously attain the pure land of Keajra. {Engage in sadhana}. We are rushing, and because we are rushing we are travelling.
