A Brief Guide to the Stages of Visualization

A Brief Guide to the Stages of Visualization - (Tib. Mikrim Düpa) a text by Patrul Rinpoche on the stages of visualization of the Longchen Nyingtik ngondro. This text is also known as the Zur Gyen (‘appendix’, literally ‘extra adornment’) because it appears at the end of some of the Tibetan editions of Kunzang Lama’i Shelung. The Mikrim Düpa closely follows the explanations for the practices given in The Words of My Perfect Teacher, but is a far more condensed text and some of its descriptions are slightly different.
