The Secret Yoga Of Naropa That Changes Everything

The Six Doctrines of Nāropa are the most significant yogic and meditative techniques of the Tibetan Kagyu School. Also known as the Six Yogas of Nāropa, or the Six Dharmas of Nāropa, they encompass what Tibetan masters call “the oral instruction transmission for achieving liberation in the bardo,” which is the path to achieving Buddhahood, the condition and state of a buddha.
This collection of advanced tantric practices was transmitted by Tilopa and Nāropa to the Tibetan translator-yogi Marpa Lotsawa. Although Tilopa initially taught these techniques, it was Nāropa who refined and expanded them into a comprehensive system and then transmitted this knowledge to his disciples, particularly Marpa. This is why these practices bear Nāropa’s name.
As with almost all Buddhist teachings, it is said that the original source of the Six Doctrines of Nāropa comes from Buddha himself, who 2,500 years ago taught many sutras and tantras. The Six Yogas are thus considered a synthesis of numerous tantric doctrines he taught.
As we previously mentioned, this system was first formulated by the Indian master Tilopa. So it's only fair that we start by asking ourselves:

When we refer to the Six Doctrines—Tummo (Inner Heat), Gyulu (Illusory Body), Ösel (Clear Light), Milam (Dream Yoga), Bardo (Intermediate State), and Phowa (Transference of Consciousness)—we are referring to practices that, as with all Buddhist teachings, ultimately aim to lead individuals to Buddhahood, a state characterized by compassion, wisdom, and skillful means.
The yoga of Inner Heat (Tummo) is considered the root of the path, as it purifies our mind and body, leading to profound states of realization and blissful awareness. The practice begins with visualizing our body’s energy channels, winds, drops, and chakras. Through specific breath-holding exercises, we generate inner heat, which helps vital winds flow into the central channel, inducing blissful experiences. This yoga also involves focusing on seed syllables at the chakras and meditating on emptiness. Over time, we aim to master this process, achieving enhanced clarity, inner heat, and bliss.
The yoga of Illusory Body (Gyulu) helps us recognize the illusory nature of all phenomena, including our own body, thereby deepening our insight into emptiness. By studying our reflection in the mirror, we visualize our nondual bodymind and aim to dissolve duality into a state of nonduality.

Good introduction to the topic 👍 I particularly liked the inclusion of the historic and geographical origins of the "Six Yogas" being the Swat Valley and Kashmir regions - as I have been for some time studying the similarities between Kashmiri Shaivic Tantra and Buddhist Vajrayana.

Thank You ❤🙏

Phuwa or phowa is what every buddhist receives when they die from a monk or buddhist religious practitioner. It is a very important ritual that needs to be undertaken... You need to visit the monk or practitioner with a belonging of the deceased like a ring or anything and they will do the phuwa part..

Separating vajrayyana and mahamudra into two paths is misleading

To get into this world, one must start early. I have seen many failed examples who get into all these higher level tantric activities at a later stage in life and lose mental balance because this requires a strong mind groomed properly right in the beginning.

[jonjosephbarnes]

Thanks for the video but the bass eq is WAY too high.

[tashinagay]

Plz do not. Make this public ... Those sutras and practice need to be kept secret

[GirigiriBharath]

Don't say lie. Its not only Buddhist university. One of the oldest university in the world. First one was thakshashila. In Nalanda has teaching all subjects. But that period was little bit buddist influence in india. Thats true.
