rig pa spyi blug su 'jog pa;Resting In the Immediacy of Complete Awareness;resting in the immediacy of complete awareness;This is one method of entering into meditative absorption. Jamgön Kongtrül explains, "There are two methods for settling the mind in a state of nonconceptual concentration: resting in the immediacy of complete awareness and resting subsequent to insight." "With the former," he continues, "having set the stage by ascertaining the view, go to a place free from anything that can harm your meditation, sit in the sevenfold posture of Vairocana, and settle your awareness in a fresh and uncontrived state. This is called 'the resting meditation of a simple yogi.'" [TK 4, 7] +

slob pa'i zung 'jug;Unified Path Of Training;unified path of training;The unified path of training is one of five stages linked with the five luminosities. The five luminosities, as explained above, relate to the progressive refinement in the practitioner's perception of reality. Khenpo Yönga explains, "[These five luminosities] should be understood as: 1) the divine form of dedication linked with the path of accumulation, 2) the divine form of the energetic-mind on the path of joining, 3) the luminous divine form on the path of seeing, 4) the unified divine form of training linked with the path of cultivation, and 5) the unified divine form beyond training in the state of buddhahood."

lta spyod sgom 'bras;View,Meditation,Conduct,and Fruition;view,meditation,conduct,and fruition;These four factors subsume the various elements involved in Buddhist practice. Jamgön Kongtrül explains one view on these four principles: "Though there are a great many divisions when it comes to the view, meditation, and conduct, they can all be applied to the individual mind. The view is absolute conviction in its actual nature, while meditation entails applying this view to one's own state of being. Conduct involves linking whatever arises with this view and meditation. Finally, fruition is the actualization of the way things are." [NO 6] +
mtshan bcas rdzogs rim;Conceptual Completion Stage;conceptual completion stage;The completion stage is divided into two categories, the conceptual completion stage and the nonconceptual completion stage. In the former, the practitioner works primarily with the subtle body - the channels, energies, and essences. As Ju Mipham points out, "This path is conceptual insofar as one must maintain mental reference points and make intentional effort, both physically and verbally." [ON 417] +
dod khams;Desire Realm;desire realm;One of the three realms that comprise sarpsara. The sentient beings of this realm are attached to material food and sex, primarily because they sustain themselves through the five sense pleasures. This realm is referred to as such due to the fact that this environment is home to desirous sentient beings. [TD 1414] +
