tshogs lam;Path of Accumulation;path of accumulation;The first of the five paths;this stage forms the basis for the progression to nirvāṇa, in which one gathers a vast amount of merit (that accords with liberation) and realizes selflessness through study and contemplation, albeit this realization occurs only in an abstract, conceptual sense.

bsdu rim;Dissolution Stage;dissolution stage;The dissolution stage is the part of the development stage in which the entire visualization successively dissolves, to the point where nothing remains and the practitioner rests in a state of empty awareness for as long as possible. The primary function of this phase is to purify clinging to confused perceptions as being real. [LW 135] +
mnyam nyid ye shes;Wisdom of Equality;wisdom of equality;Quoting the ''Sūtra of the Levels of Buddhahood'', Jigme Lingpa explains, "With the wisdom of equality, one internalizes the fact that all phenomena are equal, in the sense that they are all devoid of characteristics." [YT 431] +

sbyang bya;Object of Purification;object of purification;There are four factors that subsume all aspects of development stage practice. Jamgön Kongtrül explains, "To engage in development stage practice, one needs to have at least some understanding of four factors: the basis, object, and process and result of purification ... The object of purification is constituted by the various factors that obscure our buddha nature. In other words, this refers to the impurities associated with the ignorance that have been incidentally confusing us from time immemorial. Just like the sun's innate capacity to give off light and the clouds that obscure it, incidental impurities temporarily obscure the innate enlightened qualities we all possess. These impurities, the afflictive, cognitive, and meditative obscurations, are the object of purification." [ND 13-14] +

chi srid;Death;death;The death process is considered to be of vital importance in the Buddhist tradition, primarily because it affords a uniquely powerful opportunity to attain liberation. In terms of tantric practice, this process is purified by the completion stage. According to Tsele Natsok Rangdröl, there are outer, inner, and secret signs that mark this process. The outer signs relate primarily to the steady decrease of the body's ability to function correctly and the experiences that ensue from this decay. The inner signs have to do with the various mental states that accompany this process. The secret signs, such as the perception of smoke and mist, are associated with the mind's luminous nature.
