Tantra in meditation on emptiness (Buddhism, Tibetan)

  • Action tantra: kriya
  • Performance tantra: charya
  • Yoga tantra
  • Highest yoga tantra: anuttarayoga

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.
