THE GENERATION STAGE IN BUDDHIST TANTRA, by Gyatrul Rinpoche

THE GENERATION STAGE IN BUDDHIST TANTRA

by Gyatrul Rinpoche

This book offers an exceptionally clear and accessible presentation of the generation stage practices of deity yoga. Gyatrul Rinpoche explains the state of mind to be established at the beginning of the practice session, the details of the visualization sequences, the three types of offerings and proper mantra recitation, as well as mudras, tormas and malas. Practitioners from all lineages of Tibetan Buddhism will find that these teachings enhance their understanding of sadhana practice. Rinpoche's detailed explanations make it possible to practice these meditations as they were intended and as they were practiced in Tibet and ancient China.

This title was originally published as Generating the Deity.
