Geshe Jampa Gyatso


ManjushriThe Two Stages of the Guhyasamaja Tantra


By Aku Sherab Gyatso




Summary of the Text

A thorough explanation of the generation and completion stages related to Guhyasamaja. The presentation of the generation stage includes an explanation of the visualization and generation of the mandala and deities and how to carry death, the intermediate state, and rebirth into the path to respectively the truth body, enjoyment body, and emanation body. The presentation of the completion stage discusses the six branches: the isolation of body, isolation of speech, isolation of mind, illusory body, actual clear light, and the union of clear light and the illusory body.

In order to study the Two Stages of the Guhyasamaja Tantra, it is necessary to have received the highest yoga tantra initiation of Guhyasamaja from a qualified lama.
