The Dark Red Amulet presents the Vajrayana practice of Vajrakilaya according to the oral transmission lineage of the seventeenth-century treasure-revealer Tsasum Lingpa. Vajrakilaya embodies the enlightened activity of all the buddhas, subjugating delusion and negativity to clear obstacles to spiritual practice. The essential purpose of Vajrakilaya practice is to discover the absolute vajra nature, transforming dualistic hindrances into clear wisdom and compassion. In this text, renowned scholars and meditation masters Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche present the history of this lineage and the story of how Tsasum Lingpa revealed this terma teaching. Their line-by-line commentary on the short and condensed sadhanas provides an invaluable guide for practitioners to combine the skillful means of compassion and wisdom foundational to Tibetan Buddhism.
