10 Benefits of Vajrayogini practice & how to practice, chanting 8 praises, powerfully chanted

Why do many Buddhist teachers describe Vajrayogini as the one practice for our busy, hectic, terrifying times which can lead us, in one lifetime, to Enlightenment? Why is Vajrayogini the Sarva Buddha Dakini — the Dakini who is the essence of all the Buddhas? What are the ten benefits of her practice? How can we practice Vajrayogini now, if we don't yet have the empowerment and permission of a teacher? We answer these questions, and more, in our brief documentary on the great Dakini Queen Vajrayogini.
PLEASE NOTE: A kind commenter indicated there is an error in the hard-coded subtitle during the fourth line of the chant. It should read: OM NAMO VAJRA SANI AJITE APARA-JITE VASHAM KARI-NETRA HUM HUM PHAT (pronounced Pey in the Tibetan). Please turn on CC and select English Subtitles (this is Sanskrit, but we have entered the Sanskrit in the English) and display it if chanting along. (Full chant also below, as text).
Increasingly, modern life is almost too hectic for deep yogic practices that can lead to Enlightenment in one lifetime.
Today, most of us do not have the luxury of retiring to a cave for hermetic practice over many years.
Although all Buddhist practices potentially can lead to Enlightenment in one lifetime, Vajrayogini practice — above all others — is the one recommended by teachers for modern times.
Why?
Clarity and simplicity.
Brevity — yet a comprehensive practice.
Easy — yet advanced.
Her visualization is not difficult even for those who have trouble with visualizations.
Her practice is complete — containing all the 11 Yogas required to generate the Enlightened mind — yet can be accomplished in an astonishingly brief period of time.
Her practice doesn't require "retiring from the world" — in fact, it is encouraged to use our "daily lives" as an opportunity to practice.
One of the 11 Yogas of Vajrayogini is the Yoga of Daily Activities.
Another is the Yoga of Sleeping.
There is even the Yoga of Awakening.
And the Yoga of Tasting Nectar — which we can combine with our morning breakfast.
In other words, our daily, modern lives become the practice!

The ten benefits of Vajrayogini practice are also highly appropriate in modern times. Whether you are concerned with the suffering of daily life, the stress of "making a living" or even health issues, Vajrayogini practice is helpful in these practical ways. It is also the ultimate advanced practice — a complete path to Enlightenment exemplified in the 11 Yogas of Vajrayogini.
FULL EIGHT LINES OF PRAISE:
This is a praise that pays homage to Vajravarahi Vajrayogini who is the supreme wisdom of the Buddhas. In each line we are basically asking her to cut our delusions, our inner and outer obstacles, and our attachments to illusory notions of reality. She is the Queen Dakini who dances in Shunyata (emptiness) — and is the epitome of the concepts found, for example in the Heart Sutra (Often in her practice we chant the Heart Sutra Gate mantra first).
HUM and PHAT are common to all the lines. Hum means the Union of Wisdom and Compassion in the context of Dakinis and PHAT means to “Cut our obstacles” (or destroy, eliminate, help us see them as illusions, etc.)

OM NAMO BHAGAVATE BAGAVATE BAGAVATE VAJRA VARAHI BAM HUM HUM PHAT
OM I prostrate to Bhagavati Vajravarahi HUM HUM PHAT. (PHAT usually means “cut my delusions and obstacles)

OM NAMO ARYA  APARA-JITE  TRAI-LOKYA  MATI VIDYESHVARI HUM HUM PHATOM Arya, queen of knowledge women, invincible in the three realms HUM

OM NAMO SARVA BHUTA BHAYA VAHE MAHA VAJRA HUM HUM PHAT

OM You destroy all fear of evil spirits with your great vajra HUM HUM PHAT

OM NAMO VAJRA SANI AJITE APARA-JITE VASHAM KARI-NETRA HUM HUM PHAT
OM You abide on the vajra seat, invincible, with overpowering eyes HUM
HUM PHAT

OM NAMO BRAHMANI SHOSHANI ROSHANI KRODHE KARALENE HUM HUM PHAT

OM You desiccate phenomenon (sense passions and attachments) with your fierce and wrathful female form HÜM HÜM PHAT.
(Brahma here, refers to illusory phenomenon (caused by passions and attachments from the sensory illusions) of our world, NOT to the creator god)

OM NAMO TRASANI MARANI PRABHADANI PARAJAYE HUM HUM PHAT
OM You conquer opponents by terrifying and desiccating demons HÜM
HÜM PHAT (*demons is inner and outer, opponents is all the 10 poisons)

OM NAMO VIJAYE JAMBHANI STAMBHANI MOHANI HUM HUM PHAT
OM You vanquish all those that stupefy, paralyze, and confuse HÜM HÜM PHAT

OM NAMO VAJRA VARAHI MAHA YOGINI KAME-SHVARI KHAGE HUM HUM PHAT
OM I prostrate to Vajravarahi, great yogini, dakini-queen of desire HÜM
HÜM PHAT

A dream of a Hindu female goddess appearing with more than one face telling me “ You must have faith and believe to live your truth and eat the harvest. I saw her walking with me in a subway station protecting me from harm I didn’t know was around each corner. I immediately woke up today to research who this was about and landed here. I have no idea how or why this happened but I am grateful.

Thank you! I received the Vajrayogini empowerment last year but... it was difficult, lots of mental obstacles. I will engage in my practice. Your video was inspiring.

好棒的视频！Luckily enough, I will gain the initiation of vajra yogini from my guru in TSINGHAI province. I have never been so looking forward to it ！

Very beautiful video! Excited to what's next! 💮

This channel is amazing. The most useful Mahayana/Vajrayana channel on youtube. Can I recommend something? Fudo Myoo seems to be virtually unknown in English. There are no thorough teachings of him on youtube, no instructions on how to properly chant any of his mantras, and nothing about any of his benefits besides some general stuff. So little, even though his image in Japan inspires awe. He's a fascinating Buddha. If you did some videos on him, it would be pretty groundbreaking in English. You would be basically single handedly introducing him to the west. Anyways, just a thought. Thanks for all the videos. Best, Khun Paen ;)

[okamii]

Ow My goddess can someone tell me the name of the song playing in the middle of the video it makes me feel like a snake being charmed. Please bestow this knowledge on me.

[goodbarbenie]

The only difference between an enlightenment person...is his or her ability to see everything in life as forms of enlightenment...whether U are bowing at a temple or feeding your pigs the medition is all the same. For example, Lord Krishna received enlightenment during a battle, while he was at war. Hah...

HI BUDDHA WEEKLY, I am leaving a comment because there is no direct message function on YouTube. In the two Vajrayogini mantra videos, the first mantra is written twice in the description section and there is no second mantra, so I left a comment to tell you, ALWAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
