Summary: The Four Deities Combined Practice is an important Shangpa Kagyu practice with Vajradhara, Six-Armed Mahakala, Vajrayogini, Chenrazig, and Green Tara. It is a beautifully simple and profound purification and accomplishment deity practice with blessing from the Guru and the four deities.

In deity meditation, “we focus our attention on an archetype image and identify ourselves in it to awaken the most hidden aspects of our being and to manifest them in the present reality . . . if we identify as fundamentally beings pure, strong and capable, we can really develop these qualities, while if we continue to think of ourselves as stupid and dull this is what we will become.” (Lama Yeshe)
