As the practitioner progresses along the various paths and levels, the manner in which luminous wisdom perceives its object, reality, becomes more and more refined. [NO 4, 17] As a specific completion stage practice, Dza Patrul explains, "There are three forms of luminosity: those of the ground, path, and fruition. The first of these is further divided into the luminosity that occurs during deep sleep, union, and death. Path luminosity is divided into fine luminosity, dense luminosity, and experiential luminosity. Finally, fruitionalluminosity refers solely to that which is supreme and eternal." [DR 444] According to Jamgön Kongtrul, "The various classifications of subtle energies and the instructions on illusory body and luminosity are treated extensively and clearly in the ''Guhyasamaja Tantra'' and the other Father Tantras."

  • Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary  + (The term "non-Buddhist," which is often tr … The term "non-Buddhist," which is often translated literally as "forder," is often used in a pejorative sense to refer to non-Buddhist Indian religions and philosophical schools. The original term, however, also implies certain similarities between some of these traditions and Buddhism. When it comes to the development stage, such similarities do exist between practices found in the Hindu tradition and those practiced in Buddhist Tantra. There are also important differences, however. Taking a polemic approach, Jigme Lingpa explains, "From a general point of view, the practices found in the non-Buddhist traditions do involve a tremendous amount of virtue. Nevertheless, it is nothing more than a moderate degree of virtue, insofar as these practices do not involve any sense of self-discipline. Their development stage practices are bereft of the vows of the knowledge holder and, despite their status as methods of the Secret Mantra path, they have no capacity to bring enlightenment. The specific problem is that these individuals do not grasp the interdependent link between the basis of purification and the methods that comprise the process of purification, insofar as these relate to development stage practice. Demonstrating a complete lack of understanding, in this style of development stage practice, the apparent aspect, shape, and color, for example, are believed to be permanent. This is the approach taken by the non-Buddhist schools, as well as some powerful spirits." [YT 408]s well as some powerful spirits." [YT 408])
  • Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary  + (The term "recollecting purity" refers to t … The term "recollecting purity" refers to the symbolic associations between the features of the deity and the celestial palace and the enlightened state. Along with clear appearance and stable pride, this is one of the key features of the development stage. As Tenpe Nyima explains, development stage practice forms a link between the enlightened qualities that are present as our own fundamental nature and the state where these qualities actually manifest. He writes, "Once the experiences of clarity and stability have arisen, you should use the development stage to mature the proximate cause of the supreme spiritual accomplishment. To do this, recall the purity [of the divine form]. This will form a link with the fundamental fruition. Nevertheless, you should not fixate on the visualization as being an independent entity that really exists. In reality, it is just the natural manifestation of wisdom. The wisdom maṇḍala does not have projected features like color, shape, a face, or hands. Rather, the qualities that naturally appear with the state of buddhahood arise, from the perspective of disciples, in various symbolic forms, such as those of the support and supported, the celestial palace, and the deity."

The fundamental meaning of ''byang chub'' alone, however, is to perfect, or to master, and it is used to describe the mastery of a particular science such as medicine. In this work ''mngon par byang chub'' is primarily a synonym of fourth-stage clear light and is rendered as "mastery." The same term is found in generation-stage practices when referring to the visualized transformation of the practitioner into the five buddhas by way of seed syllables, and in such instances, I have used enlightenment" to distinguish it from the completion-stage practice and to indicate that such a transformation, although imagined, is a transformation into the forms of enlightened deities.ion into the forms of enlightened deities.)
