A Brief Guide to the Stages of Visualization
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

A Brief Guide to the Stages of Visualization (Tib. དམིགས་རིམ་བསྡུས་པ་, Mikrim Düpa; Wyl. dmigs rim bsdus pa) — a text by Patrul Rinpoche on the stages of visualization of the Longchen Nyingtik Ngöndro. This text is also known as the ཟུར་རྒྱན་, Zur Gyen (‘appendix’, literally ‘extra adornment’) because it appears at the end of some of the Tibetan editions of Kunzang Lama’i Shelung. The Mikrim Düpa closely follows the explanations for the practices given in The Words of My Perfect Teacher, but is a far more condensed text and some of its descriptions are slightly different.
