Vajrayogini Blues
Lama Phurbu Tashi said I should start practicing the Vajrayogini sadhana. This is not so surprising, as it's traditional to follow ngondro practice with Vajrayogini and I finished ngondro last year. And that's the way it's done (or used to be done) in Shambhala. But I'm having trouble getting a copy of the sadhana. I tried to order a copy from Kagyu Droden Kunchab in San Francisco May 7th. First they sent me the wrong sadhana (Vajrakilaya) and now they say that they don't have it, even though it's listed on their site with a price. So I just wasted two months and twelve dollars pursuing the issue with them when I could have been looking for the sadhana elsewhere. And I'm left with the feeling that they're being less than candid with me when they say they don't have it. The funny think is, I can download the Vajrayogini Sadhana for free, with no restrictions. But it's Tibetan only. Makes me wish I paid more attention to my Tibetan studies.
