Mahāyoga sadhana

AMahāyoga sādhanapossibly relating to theGuhyasamāja-tantra. CompareIOL Tib J 331/2, which may be a later version as it includes a number of additional explanatory passages, and because several passages, when compared to the same lines in the present item, have been corrupted. The present item skips the entire first part of the ritual described inIOL Tib J 331/2, cutting straight to the sexual yoga. This section has been discussed in. Note that folio1vis blank, while folio2vcontains a distinct item (seeIOL Tib J 464/2).

"Performing the worship by means of the four suchnesses" (de kho na nyId bzhi'i tshul gyIs mchod pa bya ba) may be a reference to the four stages of propitiation and accomplishment (bsnyen bsgrub bzhi) which are often applied to the sexual practice inMahāyogaritual texts.
