Vajrasattva of the Buddha Field of Manifest Joy
Vajrasattva of the Buddha Field of Abhirati (Tib. རྡོར་སེམས་མངོན་དགའ་, Dorsem Ngön Ga, Wyl. rdor sems mngon dga’) — a Vajrasattva practice from the Longchen Nyingtik. It was revealed as a mind terma by Jikme Lingpa, after which Khyentse Wangpo expanded it with the pith instructions. In his commentary on the Gathering of Vidyadharas, Khenpo Chemchok Döndrup Tsal says that it is good to have received the empowerment of this practice before beginning the Vajrasattva accumulations of the Longchen Nyingtik Ngöndro.
