A short Sadhana for Vajrayogini
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

I prostrate to you, Glorious Vajrayogini. You have complete control over your mandala circles andtheir Dakinis. Possessing the five pristine awarenesses and the three Buddhakayas, you protectliving beings. I prostrate to as many Vajra Dakinis as you manifest, who, as ladies engaged inworldly affairs, cut off our bondage to preconceptions.

Final Dedication
By the merit of this may I quickly achieve the Dakini powerful attainment and may I lead all livingbeings, without exception, to this state.By remembering Vajrayogini, sufferings of the heart are eliminated. If one meditates withperseverance, the great state of Enlightenment, Mahamudra, will be easily bestowed in this life.May all be auspicious for achieving the supreme and mundane attainments of the ruler of Kachö.
