The Song of the Vajra is a form of Guruyoga. For a simple practice, sounding a long and melodious A, all phenomena related to form, sound, and consciousness are totally integrated in the instant dimension of rigpa. Remaining in this state of total equality and inseparability, relax in the contemplation of the sound of the Song of the Vajra. Then dedicate the merits.

The book Guruyoga explains the most important aspects of Guruyoga practice. It is also available as an ebook.
