Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary + (Atiyoga is the highest of the Nyingma trad … Atiyoga is the highest of the Nyingma tradition's nine vehicles. In the textual tradition of this tantric system, Atiyoga is equated with the Great Perfection, the naturally-occurring wisdom that is free from conceptual complexities and not subject to any sense of partiality or limitation. As such, it is considered the very pinnacle of all the various vehicles since it contains all of their significance. Within this Great Perfection, all the various phenomena of saṃsara and nirvāṇa, all that appears and exists, arise as the play of naturally-occurring wisdom, apart from which nothing exists. The fundamental basis of existence, in this tradition, is this naturally-occurring wisdom. In terms of the path, there are two forms of practice: the break-through stage of innate purity and the direct leap stage of spontaneous presence. Through these two practices the four visions are brought to a state of culmination and one attains the result of this process, liberation into the very ground. Said differently, one attains the permanent state of the youthful vase body. [TD 3118]state of the youthful vase body. [TD 3118])
