The first phase, that of creation, relies primarily on the use of the imagination to effect personal transformation. The phase of completion allows the practitioner to perfect the process of transformation by training in methods that manipulate the energies and constituents of the mind and body. The result of this path is the direct experience of the fundamental nature of mind and phenomena. \u003cem\u003eThe Elements of Tantric Practice\u003c\/em\u003e concerns the meditative processes of the inner system of secret mantra—that of highest yoga tantra—and is based primarily on tantric sources. The author introduces the subject by describing the path of tantra and its underlying principles. The main body of the book deals with two major elements essential to all highest yoga tantras: the practice of the creation phase and that of the completion phase. For the first phase, Kongtrül describes the visualization sequences in which ordinary perceptions are transformed into the forms of awakening and explains how these practices purify the stages of cyclic existence—life, death, and rebirth. The creation phase prepares the practitioner for the techniques of the completion phase, which entail focusing directly on the channels, winds, and vital essences that form the subtle body. Kongtrül presents the key elements of a variety of tantras, including the Guhyasamaja and Yamari, belonging to the class of father tantras and the Kalachakra Hevajra Chakrasamvara Mahamaya Buddhakapala and Tara mother tantras. All these tantras share a common goal: to make manifest the pristine awareness that is the union of emptiness and bliss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46187011146043,"sku":"3547","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4402\/2331\/files\/TK_Vol_8_Part_3_The_Elements_of_Tantric_Practice__66702.1445644420.1280.1280.jpg?v=1691699766"},{"product_id":"the-treasury-of-knowledge-books-nine-and-ten-journey-and-goal-by-jamgon-kongtrul-lodro-taye-translated-by-richard-barron-chokyi-nyima","title":"The Treasury of Knowledge: Books Nine and Ten: Journey and Goal by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, translated by Richard Barron (Chokyi Nyima)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eJamgön Kongtrul's ten-volume \u003cem\u003eTreasury of Knowledge\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique, encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as they were preserved in Tibet.
