Tantra in meditation on emptiness

Description:

Tantra is a rapid path for those who are fit to follow it; but these are persons of great compassion who so wish to be a source of help and happiness for others that they cannot bear to spend unnecessary time in achieving Buddhahood. The most qualified will achieve the path in one lifetime, but lesser qualified practitioners who maintain their vows may achieve it in seven or in sixteen lifetimes. Those following the highest yoga tantra will not have to pass sequentially through the initial stages of meditation on emptiness. Having achieved calm abiding and special insight with emptiness, it is accepted that a phenomenon qualified by emptiness can continue to appear to a consciousness realizing its emptiness. In the fifth stage of the meditation on emptiness there is a series of techniques designed to manifest the four subtle minds and, using the most subtle (that of clear light), to cognize emptiness.

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.
