After all these years, i wanted to learn this. Thank you for posting and sharing this video! Such detail explanation. Thank you for the teaching, Buddha Bless =)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Such a long time I marvel at the wisdom of Tibeten hand gestures, and for the first time I listen explanation of their meanings. Pray I may have more learning and skills to dive deeper in such ocean of bliss. Kind and caring ways of Ven. Thupten Donyo.
I received a dorja and bell from a friend while we were thrifting at goodwill of all places I felt intuitively drawn to it and even had the choice to pick something else but I felt I had to have it like it was destined I had no clue what it was and it took forever to find but then I found this video and have been practicing with it since 🙏🏼📿 thank you so much my spiritual path has opened up even more and now I feel this was a gift from the spirits
Thank you for the nice thoughts, Liam. We have several posts about mantras on our website, which you can reach through the link in the video description. If you go to the Tibetan Buddhism section on the menu of the that webpage, you will find links to posts about Green Tara, White Tara, and the Refuge Prayer. All of these have mantras written out with English interpretations. You can also sign up for free for our YoWangdu Tibetan Culture newsletter, for more mantra content. Hope this helps!
Ven. Donyo is such a compassionate soul!!! He bent over backwards to accomodate my friend and I during a visit! If you are nice they will let you stay at the center :D
Thank you! I have been searching for a video like this. Near the end, Ven. Thupten Donyo mentions that what is important is that during the visualizations, you must think about each offering you are visualizing. In my opinion, this is the key. The Vajra, Bell, and hand mudras all reinforce this key to training the mind to great compassion. At least, that is the way it works in my mind. Harder mental work -- better results -- more kindness. Drag that dead donkey up the hill!
I don't like to recite the Mantras in an unknown language . Can you translate the Mantras in English or French language ? I just ordered a Vajra and a Tibetan Bell. I am also happy that you can teach us how to use properly these Meditation tools. You said the offering can be Alcool or spices . But can i use Essential Oils and or Incense also ?
OM means the eternal energy from which everything including the universe and Gods are born of. It has no shape, form, state or properties. OM ARGHAM AH HUM means offering milk water OM PADYAM AH HUM means offering normal water OM PUPE AH HUM means offering flowers OM DHUPE AH HUM means offering Incence OM ALOKE AH HUM means offering fire light OM GHANDE AH HUM means offering perfume OM NEUDE AH HUM means offering food OM SHAPTA AH HUM means offering the above 7 but the Tibetan site says music? (Shapta means 7 so maybe it means the 7th tone of music) (Edited) I translated these on my own knowledge so there might be some differences in meaning. Also in translation from Sanskrit to English, words lose half of their meaning so actually there can't be an accurate translation unfortunately. Eg people might say Aloke means light. But it means a very specific type of light. Even my description of fire light won't be completely accurate. You would have to know the context of where and when the word has been used to know the complete meaning. There are scores of word in Sanskrit for light each having slightly different meaning depending on their context.
Namaste. Beautiful ritual. Vajra has entered my presence. Next to find bell. Then to come back for mantra, mudra and meditation. Are written mantras (and English interpretations) available? Peace, Liam

Hi Minh, sorry for taking so long to reply. You can find the mantras in the link to the YoWangdu Tibetan Culture website at the beginning of the video description. www.yowangdu.com/tibetan-buddhism/hand-mudras.html
Hi John. Gen la used the Guru Puja and some Tara practice texts, but we can say exactly what the text was. You may try to contact the Gyuto Foundation in Richmond, CA.
Excuse me... i am vietnamese and i think the vietnamese and some person in other place want to know how to use vajra and bell... but Listening skill is not good... can you write the sub for me and for every one... We can read or help by translation google, else... Tashi delek and hope you long life rinpoche _()_

Eight years along from when this was posted and I have found the answer to my question :) thank you for making this video.
Wanted to learn this for several years. So happy this teaching was shared here. Thank you Ven. Thupten Donyo and Gyuto Vajrayana Center!
Tashidele Lamaji. Thank you for the instructions.
I was expecting him to demonstrate his soul powers and shoot lightning bolts with the vajra... What a modest person he is! :)

What he says at 14:30 is really interesting. He says the visualization is the most important
Mind over matter hehe
Thank you - I needed a refresher as I have just purchased a vajra and bell...
Same😊. God bless you on your journey ❤

Helpful video. Is there any way someone could post the words to this offering mantra, I can't make out some of lines in it. Thank you.

Could you please write the mantras accompanying the mudras. Thanks.
Hi Maria, sorry we don't actually know them ourselves, but will try to get this someday.
I do not understand the answer, I just asked about the mudras. Thank you
Sorry, Maria. We do not know the answer to your question.
they are all here: www.yowangdu.com/tibetan-buddhism/hand-mudras.html
María Trujillo .... it is pronounced MADRAS , and there is chicken, lamb or beef
Thanks for posting
You are so welcome, Karma la. Thanks to Gen. Dhonyo!
Thanks you❤
Hi, thank you for uploading. Can I have the mantra please???
Hi Minh, sorry for taking so long to reply. You can find the mantras in the link to the YoWangdu Tibetan Culture website at the beginning of the video description. www.yowangdu.com/tibetan-buddhism/hand-mudras.html
Thank you so much. Keep up the good practice and take care
:-)
Beginner thank you🙏🏿
🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
What's uses of vijra in Buddhism ? I want to know that , seriously 💐🙏🌹
Hi Mahendra. We’re not really experts on this. Maybe search the FPMT website? Best to you!
Namaste. Nice explanation. Thanks. I am a devotee of Ganapati. Is there any separate procedure for Ganapati?
Namaste, Nishanth. Sorry, we don't know if there is a separate procedure. Best to you.
For Ganapati, there is no use of a vajra. His favourite offerings are durva grass, red flowers, and modhakam.
what textbook are you using?
Thank you Rinpoche. where can I find what to say during the mudra practice?
Hi John. Gen la used the Guru Puja and some Tara practice texts, but we can say exactly what the text was. You may try to contact the Gyuto Foundation in Richmond, CA.
I have a singing bowl in my shrine. Can that be used instead of a bell? Do I also need a Vajra?
Hm, traditionally Tibetans don't use singing bowls for religious practice. We're not really experts on the vajra and bell, sorry we can't help more.
Can one use just the vajra and not bell?
Em ah Ho! Thank You! Love your web site.
Wonderful, thank you Shawn!
Excuse me... i am vietnamese and i think the vietnamese and some person in other place want to know how to use vajra and bell... but Listening skill is not good... can you write the sub for me and for every one... We can read or help by translation google, else...
Tashi delek and hope you long life rinpoche _()_
thank you so much,
+moktan peace You are welcome!
how does dorje pendant works
Sorry, what do you mean by that? Can you say it another way?
Is it ok to write your own mudra? I would like to do this.
Ange Ashley mudras are hand gestures, to write your own mantra would of course be ok, but wouldnt be buddhist,
Thanks 🙏🏽🌼🙏🏽🇨🇭
Thank yo so much! I now know the proper way to honor my bell and dorge.
You are welcome Sujoya!
Can u please add the mantra lines used with the Dorjee & Thilbu?
sould incense be cold or lit
no explanation of the mantra? Just the physical movement of the mudra? Where is the wisdom of the chant?
Sir Whistler Bhagwan its explained ‘very clearly in “becoming vajrasattva” by lama yeshe
Thank you very much!!!.... I´m going to practice :)
We are so happy that Gen La’s teaching inspired you. May you be well!
Thank you for posting this
