visualized; third, in the meditator's heart a moon is<br />

visualized, representing the Buddha's gnostic mind;<br />

fourth, the moon should be seen in the Buddha's body in<br />

front of the practitioner. Hence through the movement<br />

of the moon from the meditator's heart to that of the<br />

Buddha, one's wisdom is identified with that of the<br />

Buddha. The movement of the mantra is the life-energy,<br />

chief among the five energies upon which the<br />

foundation of forming the Buddha-body is based.<br />

C. Yogic Yoga<br />

When "Yogic Yoga" is practiced both the five forms of<br />

the Buddha-body <strong>and</strong> the five elements of the pagoda<br />

are identified. The philosophy of the six-element yoga,<br />

which contains the right mental view (the ninth holy<br />

consciousness) is stressed, along with the five material<br />

elements. The Buddha-body <strong>and</strong> its palace have been<br />

well founded. Starting from this stage, there is no<br />

differentiation between mentality <strong>and</strong> materiality, spirit<br />

<strong>and</strong> flesh, mind <strong>and</strong> body, or metaphysics <strong>and</strong> material<br />

science. All practices beyond this stage are free of<br />

duality. This is real yoga, in which all opposites are<br />

united <strong>and</strong> harmonized. This point should be clearly<br />

kept in the mind of the practitioner of this yoga <strong>and</strong><br />

those following it.<br />

Now we turn to the main practices of the anuttarayoga.<br />
