sandeyeDifferent Styles:Ati Yoga
September 4th 2008 15:45
The word Ati stands for supreme. Ati Yoga is something I had already heard about due to my Buddhism practice, long before researching Yoga styles to write about for Yogatap. I already knew it was connected with Dzogchen Buddhism, although not entirely certain what precisely it related to, prior to further investigation.
It appears to be a title for Dzogchen practice, also known as the Great Perfection, which in Sanskrit is called Mahasandhi. It is the third of the inner tantras of Dzogchen, which are Mind Section, Space Section and Instruction Section. It comprises the highest teachings within the Nyingma School of Buddhism. The Ati Yoga teachings were first given to Garab Dorje in Uddiyana, Western India. Well known masters include Garab Dorje, Manjushrimitra, and Padmasambhava.
Following previous initiations, the fourth or Word Initiation is an empowerment allowing the recipient to receive and understand this Highest Yoga Tantra. It refers to entering the depths of Samadhi, using natural insight and primordial enlightenment, and a centering to the core from sideward emotional movements - such as like/dislike or hope/fear. It uses the core realization to liberate one within a short time span.
