Tsong-ka-pa and H.H. Dalai Lama. (1987). Tantra in Tibet. Jeffrey Hopkins (Trans. and Ed.)

"According to Highest Yoga Tantra, some persons attain Buddhahood in one lifetime, and because these persons are not born with a body adorned with the major and minor marks they must achieve such a body through the practice of deity yoga.

  • Meditation on oneself as undifferentiable from a deity is the special cause... for attaining Buddhahood. If one meditated only on emptiness and did not cultivate any method -- either that of the Perfection or that of the Mantra Vehicle -- one would fall to the fruit of a Hinayana Foe Destroyer.

  • In order to attain the definite goodness of the highest achievement, Buddhahood, deity yoga is needed. Also, ... one must view one's body clearly as a divine body and train in the pride of being a deity.

Without deity yoga, the Mantra path is impossible; deity yoga is the essence of Mantra."

Tsong-ka-pa and H.H. Dalai Lama. (1987). Deity Yoga in Action and Performance Tantra. . Jeffrey Hopkins (Ed.).

"When you get tired, it is appropriate to repeat mantra. However, for a beginner the main part of the meditation revolves around the six deities* (*ultimate, sound, letter, form, seal, and sign) which should be cultivated carefully and leisurely.

  • This is because clear appearance of oneself as a deity must be achieved for the sake of amassing the two collections of merit and wisdom, achieving firm meditative stabilization, and transforming all physical and verbal actions into powerful aids for others' welfare.

  • Hence, before repeating mantra, the yoga of non-dual profundity (realization of emptiness) and manifestation (appearance as a deity) should be sustained, developing clarity in observing the divine form and in ascertaining its lack of inherent existence.

When, having done this one-pointedly, you become tired, then for the sake of resting begin repeating mantra.

... Tsong-ka-pa also says that in the approximation phase meditation is chief, mantra repetition is secondary."

 Deity Yoga in Action and Performance Tantra by HH Dalai Lama, Tsong-ka-pa, and Jeffrey Hopkins

"...it is said that through the power of believing one's own body, speech, and mind to be undifferentiable from the deity's exalted body, speech, and mind all one's physical actions and movements are seals and all one's speech is mantra. In this way the Vajrapani Initiation Tantra says:

  • "A son or daughter of lineage* who has seen a mandala, who generates the mind of enlightenment, who is compassionate, skilled in means and in teaching the ways of letters--the door of Secret Mantra--should think thus, 'Separate from speech, there is no mind.

  • Separate from mind, there is no speech. Separate from mind, there is no divine form.

  • Mind itself is speech; speech itself is mind; divine form itself is also mind, and speech itself is also divine form.'

"If a mantra practitioner believes in this way that these are undifferentiable, he attains purity of mind. At those times when he has a pure mind, he always views in all ways his own body to be the same as the deity's body, his own speech to be the same as the deity's speech, and his own mind to be the same as the deity's mind; then, he is in meditative equipoise."

* One who is a suitable vessel for the teaching."

 
from Essence of the Heart Sutra: The Dalai Lama's Heart of Wisdom Teachings by H.H. the Dalai Lama, tran-ed- Geshe Thupten Jinpa

"The mantra of the perfection of wisdom--the mantra of great knowledge, the unexcelled mantra, the mantra equal to the unequalled, the mantra that quells all suffering--is true because it is not deceptive."--The Heart Sutra

The perfection of wisdom is called "the mantra of great knowledge" because thoroughly understanding its meaning eliminates the three poisons of craving, hatred, and delusion. It is called the "unexcelled mantra" because there is no greater method than the perfection of wisdom for saving one from the extremes of cyclic existence and the isolated peace of individual nirvana. It is called the mantra "equal to the unequalled" because the Buddha's enlightened state is unequalled, and, through the deepest realization of this mantra, one attains a state equal to that state. Finally, the perfection of wisdom is known as the "mantra that quells all suffering" because it quells manifest sufferings and also removes all propensities for future suffering.

The perfection of wisdom is the ultimate truth, thus the statement "it is true." In the realm of the ultimate truth, there is no disparity, as there is in conventional reality, between appearance and reality, and thus this manifest ultimate truth is "not deceptive." This nondeceptiveness also suggests that, through actualization of this mantra, the perfection of wisdom can enable one to attain total freedom from suffering and its causes. From this perspective too, we can say that it is the truth.

"The mantra of the perfection of wisdom is proclaimed: tadyatha gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!
Shariputra, the bodhisattvas, the great beings, should train in the perfection of wisdom in this way."


"Love for Krishna, devotion for Krishna, is there within everyone's heart, but he has forgotten.

So this Krishna consciousness movement is simply meant for awakening that Krishna consciousness.

  • This is the process. Just like when you are sleeping.

  • I have to call you loudly-"Mr. such and such, such and such, get up. You have got this business."

  • No other senses will act when you are sleeping.

But the ear will act.

Therefore , in this age, when people are so fallen they will not hear anything, if we chant this Hare Krishna maha-mantra, he'll be awakened to Krishna consciousness.

This is practical."
