Emphasis is placed on the highest three vehicles in this scheme, namely Mah&#196;?yoga, Anuyoga, and Atiyoga. Generally speaking, these three \u201cinner\u201d yogas correspond to three stages in tantric practice, namely the generation stage, during which the details of the visualizations are stabilized, the perfection stage, in which those visualizations are then employed towards familiarizing oneself with the state of enlightenment, and finally the Great Perfection, the spontaneous accomplishment of buddhahood. Being the second of the three inner yogas, Anuyoga is thus associated with the practices of the perfection stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">The perfection stage practices are often divided into those without signs (mtshan med) and those with signs (mtshan bcas). The former refer to practices in which the enlightened view is accomplished instantaneously, without any effort, \u201clike a fish leaping out of the water.\u201d The latter \u2013 the practices with signs \u2013 are generally the perfection stage practices known collectively as \u201cchannels and winds\u201d (rtsa lung). Here, the practitioner works with a system of channels within one\u2019s body, through which are moving the \u201cwinds\u201d \u2013 subtle energies closely related to one\u2019s mind.

Let us examine some of its major facets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">The Nyingma (Old Translation Period) tradition divides Buddha\u2019s teachings into nine vehicles (theg-pa dgu): three sutra and six tantra. This contrasts with the Sarma (New Translation Period) schools of Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug, which divide the teachings into three sutra and four tantra vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>The three sutra vehicles are the shravaka, pratyekabuddha, bodhisattva vehicles. The first two are in the category of Hinayana, while the latter is Mahayana.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>The three outer tantras are kriya, charya, and yoga.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>The three inner tantras are mahayoga, anuyoga, and atiyoga or dzogchen.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>[See: The Terms Hinayana and Mahayana. See also: Basic Features of Tantra.]<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">The first six vehicles in Nyingma and Sarma are the same. The three Nyingma inner tantra vehicles are roughly equivalent to the Sarma category of anuttarayoga tantra. This is because both categories deal with a subtler level of mental activity (mind) than the lower vehicles do for actualizing the third and fourth noble truths \u2013 true stoppings of the first and second noble truths (suffering and its causes) and the true pathways of mind that bring about and have true stoppings. True causes are confusion about reality (unawareness, ignorance) and the fleeting levels of mental activity at which they operate. Because they are fleeting levels, they can be removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><strong>Maha, Anu, and Atiyoga in Comparison with Father, Mother, and Nondual Anuttarayoga Tantra<\/strong> &#8211; Mahayoga, anuyoga, and atiyoga all contain the same basic elements of practice on the tantra path to enlightenment. They differ in terms of emphasis. The same distinction is true concerning the three divisions of anuttarayoga tantra: father, mother, and nondual tantra. The two division schemes, however, are not equivalent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">The practice of anuttarayoga tantra entails the generation stage (bskyed-rim) and the complete stage (rdzogs-rim, completion stage). On the generation stage, we generate ourselves as Buddha-figures merely with the power of our imaginations (visualization). On the complete stage, everything is complete for actually generating the immediate causes for the body and mind of a Buddha \u2013 not just in our imaginations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">On the complete stage, we cause the energy-winds (rlung, Skt. prana) to enter, abide, and dissolve in the central channel. This enables us to access the subtlest level of mental activity (clear light, \u2018 od-gsal) and use it for the nonconceptual cognition of voidness \u2013 the immediate cause for the omniscient mind of a Buddha. We use the subtlest level of energy-wind, which supports clear light mental activity, to arise in the form of an illusory body (sgyu-lus) as the immediate cause for the network of form bodies (Skt. rupakaya) of a Buddha.<strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><strong>Within this scheme of anuttarayoga tantra:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>father tantra emphasizes illusory body practice,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>mother tantra emphasizes clear light practice,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>nondual tantra emphasizes the unified pair (zung-\u2019jug) of illusory body and clear light.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">If we use the same scheme as in anuttarayoga to analyze the Nyingma presentation, and divide the complete stage into two phases \u2013 before attaining actual clear light nonconceptual cognition of voidness, and after, when we attain the immediate cause for a rupakaya \u2013 then:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>mahayoga emphasizes the generation stage,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>anuyoga emphasizes the first phase of the complete stage and working with the energy-winds, channels, and chakras,<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>atiyoga (dzogchen) emphasizes the second phase of the complete stage, at which we actualize the immediate causes for the enlightening mind and form bodies of a Buddha.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>READ FULL ARTICLE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berzinarchives.com\/web\/en\/archives\/advanced\/dzogchen\/basic_points\/major_facets_dzogchen.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">&gt; <\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">H<\/span>ERE &lt;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #800000;\">:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.deinayurveda.net\/wordpress\/?p=10357\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">TIBETAN AND HIMALAYAN LIBRARY &lt;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hinduism.co.za\/buddhism1.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Buddhism in China, Japan and Korea by Swami Abhedananda &lt;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.snowlionpub.com\/samples\/GEST_Ch1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Anu-yoga Tantra-s in the Collected Tantra-s of the Ancients &lt;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Berzin-Archives-The-Buddhist-Archives-of-Alexander-Berzin\/287334521689?v=app_2347471856#!\/pages\/The-Berzin-Archives-The-Buddhist-Archives-of-Alexander-Berzin\/287334521689?v=wall\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Meet Berzin Archives, friends and studies on facebook &lt;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.thlib.org<br \/>\nwww.berzinarchives.com<br \/>\n\u00a0Tibetan Studies, Conference, 2010, Tsering, Shakya<br \/>\nAnuyoga (Skt. \u0905\u0928\u0941\u092f\u094b\u0917 &#8218;further yoga&#8216;) is the designation of the second of the three Inner Tantras according to the ninefold division of practice used by the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.
