Hello, I'm sorry for writing so many comments, but I read that Vajrayana if practiced wrong can lead one to hell or to never encounter dharma again, so now I'm afraid that I did something wrong, I would very much appreciate your answer to the other comment I wrote 🙏🙏🙏

Hi there, the answer to your previous question is there in the replies- you might need to click to see it. If you practiced as stated in the text and guided in the video, there is no need to worry. Also remember karma is not about punishment or reward or fate- it is just the natural consequences of our actions. If your action of practice was done with a positive motivation, it will result in purification and happiness.

Ani Yonten la is this meditation okay to do if I don’t have initiations? I wanted to make sure 😬

[@VenYonten]

For Vajrasattva, yes. Purification practice like this is a special case so the the short version is ok for non-initiates. Thanks for checking. If you prefer, change the visual to the single deity version of the practice.

[@nomad_333_]

@@VenYonten Ok. Thank you. I will do the short version with single diety.

@@VenYonten Venerable, if I don't have initiations, can I do the meditation in this exact video, if I only change the visualization to the solitary form of Vajrasattva, without the Wisdom Mother? Or, should I avoid doing the meditation in this exact video, and only do the meditation you linked above?

[@VenYonten]

@@googleuser8055 great question. Vajrasattva is sort of a "special case" where the Highest Yoga Tantra image is seen by many as ok to use above the crown of the head for the uninitiated.
Without empowerments you don't do the self-generation or blessing the offerings section but for Vajrasattva those parts are not usually included anyway. Just something to know if you do the Vajrasattva Tsog etc.
But! If you feel more comfortable with a less confronting image, shift to the simple, kriya tantra form where only the Wisdom Father is explicit (and the Wisdom Mother is implicit).
