The sadhana we tend to use in Drikung also draws heavily upon Sangye Lingpa's Dorje Phurba for the most essentialized daily practice. When I can find it I'll post the exact names and lineage detailed at the beginning of sadhana itself. I'm sure there are copies online for purchase of nothing else.
Oh, thank you, Plzang!!
Actually they are using this sadhana: “Great Treasure Revealer Ratna Lingpa’s Unsurpassed, Innermost Secret Sādhana of Kīla,”
You can get it here: http://www.gartrust.org/vajrakila.html#

Oh, thanks. Hm, kidna strange since the empowerment was from Chogyur Lingpa ... but why not I guess.

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

Well, since you got the Sangtik Phurbha you can do that sadhana which is available for free on the internet.There is a great book on the Sangtik called "Powerful Transformations", highly recommended. If you prefer you can do the Ratna Lingpa sadhana which contains a lot of interesting details.

Is this the sadhana called the 'Essence of the Play of Concerned Activity' ?

There is a slightly bigger version of the Sangtik Phurba but it isn't available online.

Oh, thanks for the info! Could be fun to practice it, but I guess this would be better to practice under a teachers guidance for some time at least.

That's odd. The one I have from a Garchen Rinpoche empowerment some years ago is Ratna Lingpa's:
The Daily Practice of the Secret Attainment of the Unsurpassed Extremely Secret Vajrakilaya called 'The Essence of the Play of Concerned Activity'.
The daily practice in the ebook is called; “Essence of Manifold Activity Displays: A Manual for the Regular Practice of the Unsurpassed, Innermost Secret Sādhana of Vajrakīla”
There could be several daily practices.

Someone would need at least to lead you through the Sangtik sadhana unless you are very used to doing sadhanas, but there are real instructions how to practice is in the book "Powerful transformations".

There's four of them.
Either a bad thangka painter or an other tradition of Phurba that I don't know.

f.e.:
Sangthig Phurpa stands on 2 "demons"
Ratling Phurpa on 4.
It isn't "demons", it is Mahadeva and Umadevi.

It's interesting, both Garchen R. and Drupon Rinchen Dorje Rinpoche emphasized in these teachings, that without the basis of love, compassion and bodhicitta, one can practice these sadhanas and accomplish the deity, but it's a worldly deity, a demon, not a Wisdom Being. They both used the word 'demon.'

Does that mean shiva = demon?
Mahadeva (Lha chenpo) and his consort also appear as worldly protectors to the Dharma and there are even sadhanas for them. I have no idea why it is like this perhaps someone like Malcolm can help out with that?

Do you have a recording of the teachings?
It is on their FB page. Click on one of the previous links and you will find them somehow there.
