Group of 6 doctrines of the Bouddhisme vajrayâna container, with the Mahamudra, the main part of the techniques of meditation of the school Kagyupa.

Internal heat

In Tibetan " tummo". It is about a technique making it possible to increase its internal heat. One includes/understands the interest of such a technique in a context where the ascetics Tibetans were (and A) accustomed to contemplating in caves of the the Himalayas, in high-altitude, vêtus of a simple cotton dress.

According to secret teaching, the tummo is a method which makes it possible to extract the Prana from the inexhaustible reserve of nature and to store it in the battery of the human body, then to employ it to transmute seminal liquor into subtle energy by which a psychophysical heat interns is produced and circulates in the fluidic channels of the psychic nervous system (the Nadi).

The art of the tummo is accompanied by Visualization S complexes, Méditation S, Respiration S and includes/understands physical exercises. The sexual abstinence is also of rigor.

Alexandra David-Néel returned celebrates these practices which described as follows:

“By one night of winter when the moon shines, those which are believed able to undergo the test victoriously, go, with their Master, on the edge of a noncold river (...) the candidates under Repa, completely naked are assoient on the ground, the cross legs. Cloths are plunged in ice-cold water, it freeze there and come out from it stiff. Each disciple rolls up one around him of them and must thaw out it and dry it on its body. As soon as the linen is dry, one it replonge in water and the candidate wraps oneself some again. The operation continues, until the rising of the day. Then that which dried the greatest number of cloths is proclaimed the first of the contest” (Mystical and Magicians of Thibet, p 228/29, Plon, 1929).

The rule is that the yogi must dry at least three cloths of continuation to have the right to carry the badge of his science of the tummo, which is a dress (cloth) of white cotton being worth the title of Repa to him (from where Milarepa: Mila with the cotton dress). Another test consists in sitting down in snow where one judges heat released by the body with the quantity and the surface of snow melted around the yogi.

the body of illusion

It is about an adaptation of the doctrines of Mâyâ which considers the sensitive world as a simple dream, misleading appearance, illusion.

The yogi is accustomed to regard his own body as being unreal. Then it realizes it carries out “the mâyâ state of visualization”. In this practice, one is accustomed to visualize any thing as being the body of a guardian deity being reflected in a mirror. According to the following stage, “the mâyâ of the perfect state”, the glance fixed on a single point of the empty space of the sky (see Sunyata), one visualizes directly the Bouddha or in the form of Nirmanakaya, of Sambhogakaya (through a sound). In the third and ultimate state Dharmakaya, Samsara and nirvana are transmuted both into wisdom of not-duality and the apparent truths are included/understood as being the illusion of the Samadhi. The spirit, concentrated in a state of perfect peace, plunges then in the Claire Lumière of the full realization of the Ultimate Truth (see Madhyamika).
