So I'm rereading Introduction to Tantra by Lama Yeshe. In his discussion on the Development Stage, he ties the Three Kayas in with the three stages of visualization.
I'm never heard of this before. Is this Orthodox, or just something Lama Yeshe came up with?
Development Stage with the Three Kayas
Development Stage with the Three Kayas
Equanimity is the ground. Love is the moisture. Compassion is the seed. Bodhicitta is the result.
-Paraphrase of Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsephel citing the Guhyasamaja Tantra
"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.
Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.
Through the qualities of meditating in that way,
Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."
-Ra Lotsawa, All-pervading Melodious Drumbeats
