Related to the Five Paths

According to Longchenpa:

Khenpo Ngakchung states:

  • Those who have the ability to purify the ordinary body with the fire of concentration and transform it into a subtle body acquire the power of immortal life and are called vidyadharas with power over life.
  • Those who have not been able to purify their bodies but whose minds have ripened into the deity’s body are known as matured vidyadharas.
  • Those who are on the second to the ninth bhumis are mahamudra vidyadharas.
  • Then, at the end of the path, at the moment buddhahood is reached, they are spontaneously accomplished vidyadharas.
