Every Vajrayana practice
has two phases to it: the creation stage in
which one creates the visualization and the
completion stage in which one dissolves the
visualization. Jamgon Kongtrul wrote an important
text describing these two processes and Thrangu
Rinpoche gives a detailed commentary on this
root text. The book includes a translation of
the root text as well as Rinpoche’s commentary.
The entire practice, starting from the very
beginning of the generation stage of the deity
and culminating with the dissolution or withdrawal
of the deity and mandala into the clear light,
corresponds to all the events of one life. The
very beginning of the generation corresponds
to the entrance of the consciousness into the
womb, for example, in the case of a human life.
As the practice goes on there are specific elements
that correspond to the birth, to all the experiences
of this life, and finally in the withdrawal
phase, to death.
