The Six Yogas of Naropa

by C. A. Musés | 1961 | 44,116 words

Summary: The English translation of “The Six Yogas of Naropa�: An ancient collection of Tantric practices within Tibetan Buddhism compiled in the 11th century by Tilopa and Naropa—both Indian Maha-Siddhas. These Six Dharmas are also known as "the oral instruction transmission for achieving liberation in the bardo". They represent key Tantric Buddhist practices in the Kagyu and Gelug traditions, focusing on transforming the subtle body and accelerating the path to Buddha-hood.

The primary six practices include inner heat (tummo), clear light (ösel), dream yoga (milam), illusory body (gyulü), bardo yoga, and consciousness transference (phowa). They essentially require initiation and guidance from a Tantric Guru.
