The original text, beautifully translated and introduced by Sarah Harding, is further brought to life by an in-depth commentary by the contemporary master Thrangu Rinpoche. Key Tibetan Buddhist fundamentals are quickly made clear, so that the reader may confidently enter into tantra's oft-misunderstood "creation" and "completion" stages.
In the creation stage, practitioners visualize themselves in the form of buddhas and other enlightened beings in order to break down their ordinary concepts of themselves and the world around them. This meditation practice prepares the mind for engaging in the completion stage, where one has a direct encounter with the ultimate nature of mind and reality.
Creation and Completion: Essential Points of Tantric Meditation Reviews
-
The brilliant 19th century rime classic on the fundamentals of sadna practice. Suprisingly readable. Lots of rich, valuable detail on the meaning of visualizations and the psychic mechanics of sadna practice. Recommend it very, very highly for vajrayana students. Anyone else, though, wouldn't be so appropriate.
