Tantra union-in-learning-application awareness
Description:
This state of awareness is represented as the fourth and final Tantric initiation in which the initiate receives the "word" or teaching concerning the highest worldly dharma on the path of Tantra. This teaching explains that at the higher limit of the corresponding fourth meditative cultivation, the union of wisdom-knowledge (prajna-jnana), has given access to all the subtle-energy focal-points (cakras) in the body. As a result the body at the higher level of awareness with be one of the noble ones (adamantine or rainbow). In addition, perseverence in repeating the union of realization and emptiness leads to buddhahood, which is said to be the union surpassing union-in-learning.[[Context]] In Tibetan Sakya Buddhism this is one of the states in the "Ascension Stages Game". In some sets it is numbered 58 on the board.
