Vajra Wisdom presents the commentaries of two great

nineteenth-century Nyingma masters that guide

practitioners engaged in development stage practice

through a series of straightforward instructions. The rarity

of this kind of material in English makes it indispensable for

practitioners and scholars alike. The goal of development

stage meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is to

directly realize the inseparability of phenomena and

emptiness. Preceded by initiation and oral instructions, the

practitioner arrives at this view through the profound

methods of deity visualization, mantra recitation, and

meditative absorption.DOWNLOAD PDF FILE www.contentin.org/2fpe9aN.pdf
