Synopsis

Powerful Transformation elucidates the alchemical principles of development and completion stage practices applied in a sublime manner. What prevents the meditation experiences and realization from arising, are mainly our misdeeds, obscurations and habitual patterns, these can be purified by Vajrasattva Practice. When a yogi attains accomplishment, the obstacles become greater and can be overcome by Vajrakilaya Practice, combined with recognition of mind nature. In the Secret Heart Essence, these two powerful yidams are combined as conduits to realization and accomplishment. These teachings on the hidden treasures of Chokgyur Lingpa by Karmey Khenpo Rinchen Dargye, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche, and Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche exactly describe how to train.

About this title

About the Author:

Padmasambhava has influenced countless beings through the Vajrayanateachings and in particular through the activity of the profound termatreasures. Padmasambhava came to Tibet upon the invitation of KingTrisong Deutsen who wished to establish Buddhism there but wasobstructed by hostile spirits. Once Padmasambhava came, in five yearsthe work was completed for the temple complex of Glorious Samye, the Unchanging and Spontaneously Accomplished Temple. Padmasambhava gave numberless other profound and extraordinary teachings to many destined students headed by the king and his sons and the twenty-five disciples. It is impossible to count exactly how many students inTibet received empowerment from Padmasambhava in person. Many of theseclose students had bloodlines that have continued until the present day. At present he dwells on the vidyadhara level of spontaneous presence in the form of the regent of Vajradhara, unshakable for as.long as samsara remains. Full of compassion he sends out emanations tobenefit beings.

In truth, Vajra Kumara is the most powerful of all deities to dispel obstacles on the path toward enlightenment. This is why many great practitioners focus on the Vajra Kumara practice to overcome adverse circumstances.

Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The dharmakaya state is our own essence, but we consider the dharmakaya buddha, as being `up there' and descending `down here' to give teachings. However, the nature of our own mind, our buddha nature itself, is the `dharmakaya buddha'. Because we fail to acknowledge this fact, the dharmakaya has to manifest some visible versatile forms for us to be able to understand what our own nature actually is.

First, we should understand the basic idea. Attaining the state of enlightenment simply means becoming (one with) one's nature - the dharmakaya state.

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
