Vajra Guru mantra is probably the simplest way.

Re: Meditation techniques to achieve the Rainbow Body
Has anyone read Namkhai Norbu's book "Rainbow Body?" I am wondering if it is just a straightforward account of this practitioner's life as best as can be pieced together or if it is something a bit more with insightful teachings and hints at things maybe never before gleaned about rainbow body.

I knew a girl once who painted her whole body the colors of the rainbow.
I miss her a lot

Re: Meditation techniques to achieve the Rainbow Body
Well, the methods of Vajrayana and Dzogchen are for this purpose.
Re: Meditation techniques to achieve the Rainbow Body
Well, Dzogchen Thögel has that for purpose ... therefore it is not to be discussed on a forum.deepbluehum wrote:Well, the methods of Vajrayana and Dzogchen are for this purpose.

By understanding everything you perceive from the perspective of the view, you are freed from the constraints of philosophical beliefs.
By understanding that any and all mental activity is meditation, you are freed from arbitrary divisions between formal sessions and postmeditation activity.

"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa
