 +'''Anuyoga''' (Skt.; Tib. [[རྗེས་སུ་རྣལ་འབྱོར་གྱི་ཐེག་པ་]], [[Wyl.]] ''rjes su rnal 'byor''; Eng. 'subsequent yoga') — the second of the [[three yanas of powerful transformative methods]] specific to the [[Nyingma]] school. 
  
 +Anuyoga focuses mainly on the [[completion stage]] (Tib. ''dzogrim''), and emphasizes the inner yoga of [[Psycho-physical system|channels, winds-energies and essences]] (Tib. ''tsa lung tiklé''). Visualization of the deities is generated instantly, rather than through a gradual process as in [[Mahayoga]]. 
 +
 +==Overview Given by [[Alak Zenkar Rinpoche]]<ref>{{LH|tibetan-masters/alak-zenkar/nine-yanas|''A Brief Presentation of the Nine Yanas'' by Alak Zenkar Rinpoche}}</ref>==
 +The vehicle of Anuyoga , or ‘following yoga’, is so-called because it mainly teaches the path of passionately pursuing (or ‘following’) [[wisdom]], in the realization that all phenomena are the creative expression of the indivisible unity of [[absolute space]] and [[primordial wisdom]].
 +
 +===Entry Point===
 +One’s mind is matured through the thirty-six [[empowerment]]s in which the four rivers—outer, inner, accomplishing and secret—are complete, and one keeps the [[samaya]]s as described in the texts.
 + 
 +===View===
 +Through logical reasoning one determines that which is to be known, the fact that all phenomena are characterized as being the [[three mandalas]] in their fundamental nature, and realizes that this is so.
 + 
 +===Meditation===
 +Meditation practice here consists of two paths. On the [[path of liberation]] one practises the non-conceptual [[samadhi]] of simply resting in a state that accords with the essence of reality itself, and the conceptual samadhi of deity practice, in which one visualizes the [[mandala]] of supporting palace and supported deities simply by reciting the [[mantra]] of generation. On the [[path of skilful means]] one generates the wisdom of bliss and emptiness through the practices of the upper and lower gateways.
 +
 +===Conduct===
 +One practises the conduct that is beyond adopting or abandoning in the recognition that all perceptions are but the display of the wisdom of great bliss.
 + 
 +===Results===
 +At the culmination of Anuyoga’s own uncommon [[five yogas]], which are essentially its five paths, and the [[Ten Stages according to Anuyoga|ten stages]] that are included within these five, one attains the level of [[Samantabhadra]].
 +
 +==Subdivisions==
 +There are two sections of Anuyoga:
 +*sutra (Wyl. ''mdo'')<ref>The sutras of Anuyoga are different from the [[shravaka]], [[pratyekabuddha]] and [[bodhisattva]] [[sutra]]s.</ref> and
 +*agama (Wyl. ''lung'').
 +
 +==Tantras of Anuyoga==
 +The Anuyoga tantras are classified as: 
 +
 +Four root tantras:
 +#The ''Sutra which Gathers All Knowledge'': ''kun 'dus rig pa'i mdo'' (''spyi mdo'')
 +#The ''[[Sutra which Gathers All Intentions]]'': ''sangs rgyas thams chad dgongs pa 'dus pa'' (Tib. ''Do Gongpa Düpa'' or ''Düpa Do'')<ref>P. Cornu says that this tantra is an explanation of the first one. Somehow it seems that these first two root tantras are sometimes amalgamated or confused together in modern sources.</ref>
 +#''ye shes rngam glog''
 +#''gsang ba dur khrod khu byug rol ba''
 +Six branch tantras:
 +#''kun tu bzang po ch'e ba rang la gnas pa'i rgyud''
 +#''dbang bskur rgyal po''
 +#''ting 'dzin mch'og''
 +#''skabs sbyor bdun pa''
 +#''srtson pa don ldan''
 +#''dam thsig bkod pa''
 +Twelve rare tantras
 +
 +==The Lineage of Anuyoga==
 +[[Image:Sangye Yeshe.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Nupchen Sangyé Yeshé]]]]
 +[[King Dza]], who also received the Mahayoga tantras, received the Anuyoga tantras from [[Vajrapani]] and Licchavi Vimalakirti—one of the [[Five Excellent Ones of Sublime Nobility]] who received the Anuyoga tantras from Vajrapani at the summit of [[Mount Malaya]]. They were in turn transmitted to the siddha Kukkuraja, and then passed to [[Nupchen Sangyé Yeshé]] who taught them in Tibet.<ref>This needs to be checked and developed.</ref>
 +
 +An extensive chronological list of lineage holders of the Mahayoga, from [[Buddha Samantabhadra]] to the present day, can be found in [[Tulku Thondup]]'s works. ''(see reference below)''
