The Six Yogas of Naropa

A unique system of advanced tantnc meditation originating from the great Indian master Naropa. The SIX YOGAS OF NAROPA constitute the heart of completion stage practice in the Kagyu school and later became popular amongst Gelug practitioners as well. The six yogas are:

1) the yoga of inner heat;

2) the yoga of inner radiance/clear light;

3) the yoga of the illusory body;

4) the yoga of the intermediate state (bar-do);

5) the yoga of consciousness transference;

6) the yoga of resurrection.

Alternative systems of enumerating the six yogas substitute bar-do with the yoga of coalescence/union or the yoga of resurrection with dream yoga.
