The "condensed" practice, for daily recitation, revolves around the Peaceful guru, as yidam. However, there is a complete ngondro, as well as the various levels of practice involved with the three roots--though mainly one takes the Guru as Yidam, and progresses from outer practice, [[Guru Mebar]] (Peaceful Guru), through Inner practice, secret practice [[Sengdongma]] ([[Lion-Headed Dakini]]) and extremely secret practice [[Guru Drakpo]] (Wrathful Guru).Also in the sadhana that was written by [[Jamgon Kongtrul]], vol. 12 [[Rinchen Terdzö]], he added the [[Tsedrub]] (Long-life preactice) of Guru [[Pema Obar]], which is a form of [[Guru Rinpoche]] manifesting as [[Amitayus]] ([[tshe dpag med]]).
