Highest Yoga Tantra
Highest Yoga Tantra (Skt. Anuttarayoga/Yoganiruttara/Yogānuttara Tantra[1]; Wyl. rnal 'byor bla na med pa'i rgyud) is the highest of the four classes of tantra. According to the Sarma tradition, Highest Yoga Tantras are divided into Mother Tantras, Father Tantras and Non-dual Tantras. In the Nyingma tradition, this would correspond to the Mahayoga, Anuyoga and Atiyoga.
Notes
- ↑ Despite the popularity of Anuttarayoga as a so-called 'back translation' from Tibetan into Sanskrit, this is not attested to in any original Indian text, and scholars generally believe the correct form to be yoganiruttara or yogānuttara.
