Guru Yoga 上師瑜伽
Sogyal Rinpoche, Lerab Ling, 2006
Guru Yoga (Skt. guruyoga; Tib. བླ་མའི་རྣལ་འབྱོར་, lamé naljor; Wyl. bla ma'i rnal 'byor) — the practice of merging one’s mind with the wisdom mind of the master. The practice consists of visualizing the guru (either in his own form or in the form of deity), requesting his blessings, receiving his blessings, and merging one's mind with the master's wisdom mind.

The Importance of Guru Yoga
Dudjom Rinpoche said:
- In particular, it is vital to put all your energy into the Guru Yoga, holding onto it as the life and heart of the practice. If you do not, then your meditation will be very dull, and even if you make a little progress, there will be no end to obstacles, and no possibility of true, genuine realization being born within the mind. Therefore by fervently praying with uncontrived devotion, after a while the direct blessing of the wisdom-mind of the lama will be transmitted, thereupon empowering you with a unique realisation, beyond words, born deep within your mind.[1]
