'''Deliberate conduct''' (Skt. ''vratacaryā''; [[Wyl.]] ''brtul zhugs kyi spyod pa'') is a form of behaviour, often transgressing social conventions, which is practised by accomplished [[yogi]]s in order to develop their realization even further. Given its emphasis on the unconventional and outrageous, its practitioners have often been labelled 'crazy yogins'. Examples include [[Thangtong Gyalpo]], [[Tsangnyön Heruka]] and [[Drukpa Kunley]].

==Definition==
The Tibetan term for deliberate conduct is literally 'taming' (''brtul'') and entering (''zhugs''). [[Dezhung Rinpoche]] explains this as "taming worldly behaviour and entering into the behaviour of the buddhas. Or else, taming bad behaviour and entering into perfect behaviour."<ref>Stearns (2007), p.60</ref>

==Subdivisions==
Cyrus Stearns highlights three types of deliberate conduct: Avadhuti, Totally Good (Wyl. ''kun tu bzang po'') and Completely Victorious (Wyl. ''rnam par rgyal ba'').
