The Vajra Dance is principally a means to harmonize the energy of each individual. If one has a more profound knowledge of the meaning of the Dance, it becomes a method for integrating the three existences of body, voice, and mind into knowledge of the state of contemplation.
The Dance of the Three Vajras is related to the dimension of Mind, or the Dharmakaya level. The three syllables OM A HUM represent our three existences and the three pure states of all Enlightened Beings. This is one of the most important mantras in the Dzogchen teachings, and it is also a powerful mantra of purification. The Dance of the Three Vajras is an excellent introduction to the Vajra Dances, as practiced worldwide by students of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.
