Buddhism often relegates the body to a role subordinate to that of the mind; the focus of Yangönpa's Hidden Description is the body itself, with its manifold layers - coarse, subtle, and very subtle.\u003cbr\u003e In his presentation of the human body's energetic structure he contends that it is not simply the means to achieve enlightenment, but enlightenment itself, blending the Highest Tantra notion of the body as the method with the Total Perfection (rdzogs chen) principle of inherently present enlightenment as the fundamental nature of all phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGyalwa Yangönpa\u003c\/strong\u003e realized the nature of mind at the age of eight upon hearing instructions on the Dzogchen mind cycle of teachings. And at age nine he was installed as the abbot of Lhadong monastery, where he gave profound religious discourses, establishing his reputation as an enlightened emanation.\u003cbr\u003e During his lifetime, 1213-1258, he was devoted to four precious masters of different lineages. Under the guidance of the first two, he undertook solitary retreat and, following a clear vision of the energetic system of body and mind, came to master this inseparable matrix.\u003cbr\u003e An exceptional being gifted with powers, knowledge, and wisdom, Yangönpa led an exemplary life and his spiritual achievements won him a large number of followers. His literary output left a mark in the writings of later masters of all Tibetan schools, including Tsongkhapa, the Eighth Karmapa, Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye, Raga Asya, and Jigmed Lingpa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13520101\"\u003eGyalwa Yangönpa\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shang Shung Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788878341395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8878341398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL007050\"\u003eBuddhism | Tibetan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL007030\"\u003eBuddhism | Sacred Writings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-OCC\"\u003eMind, Body, Spirit\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-OCC010000\"\u003eMindfulness \u0026amp; Meditation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shang Shung Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52913713512757,"sku":"9788878341395","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/9656\/7605\/files\/img_1a8cb235-511e-4d29-8f8b-2b5ea1d2ad95.jpg?v=1779472769","url":"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/secret-map-of-the-body-visions-of-the-human-energy-structure-9788878341395","provider":"Indiana Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
