them from Tibetan Lamas. For a complete, systematic
study of the transformation of a Buddha body, I have
written a brief essay based on the doctrine of
anuttarayoga from Tibetan sources.
PART TWO
Anuttarayoga gives more important details for the
transformation into a Buddha-body through unique
technical psycho-physical practices, enabling the
practitioner to achieve success in trikaya in one lifetime.
I shall systematically deal with these techniques here,
avoiding trifling matters and too many Sanskrit terms
which are unfamiliar or puzzling to Western readers.
In general, the anuttarayoga contains the six secret
methods of Naropa, which were introduced to Western
readers many years ago. In particular, each yidam has
his own anuttarayoga and different stages thereof, such
as the five or six stages of the Guhyasamaja Tantra, the
four stages of the Mahamaya Tantra, or the six stages of
the Kalacakra Tantra. They are similar in most respects.
All are under the classification of four initiations or six
secret methods. In the Hevajra Tantra, which has been
translated into English and published by Oxford
University, all the practices are classified under the four
initiations. (See my booklet No. 78, "A Safe Guide for
the Practitioner of Hevajra Tantra." It describes the
exact practical sequence, which in the text was
purposely mixed up in order to keep it secret.)
