Please enjoy this rare opportunity to receive comprehensive teaching from Ven. Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal on the ‘Creation and Completion Stages according to the practice of Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara)’, the embodiment of the compassion of all the buddhas. In this teaching, Venerable Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal gives a detailed guide to the very essence of mind training—the creation and completion stages of Vajrayana practice. According to the Vajrayana path, the main practices of meditation, which follow the successful conclusion of the preliminary practices, include the generation and the completion stages.  The initial generation stage is characterized by the meditative processes of the practitioner’s gradual identification with the form and pristine cognition (yeshe / jnana) of the meditational deity and it is during this stage that, with the support of mantra recitation, the elaborate visualization of the deity is gradually generated and stabilized.  The completion stage then follows, which includes techniques for controlling the energy channels and vital energies within the visualize transmuted body, with the purpose of generating an ever-deepening realization of the ultimate nature of mind. The teaching is given based on the practices related to the meditational deity Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), the embodiment of the compassion of all the buddhas. The teaching is given in Tibetan with translation in English by Karma Yeshe Chodron.
