 +'''Atiyoga''' (Skt.; Tib. ཤིན་ཏུ་རྣལ་འབྱོར་, [[Wyl.]] ''shin tu rnal 'byor'') — the highest [[yana]] within the classification of [[nine yanas]] of the [[Nyingma]] school. Atiyoga is synonymous with [[Dzogchen]]. 
  
 +==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 Atiyoga, or ‘Utmost Yoga,’ is so-called because it is the highest of all vehicles. It involves the realization that all phenomena are nothing other than the appearances of the naturally arising [[primordial wisdom]] which has always been beyond arising and ceasing.
 +
 +===Entry Point===
 +One’s mind is matured through the four ‘expressive power of awareness’ empowerments (Tib. [[རིག་པའི་རྩལ་དབང་]], ''rigpé tsal wang''), and one keeps the [[samaya]]s as explained in the texts.
 +
 +===View===
 +[[Image:Samantabhadra.jpg|thumb|150px|The Primordial Buddha [[Samantabhadra]]]]
 +The view is definitively established by looking directly into the naturally arising wisdom in which the three kayas are inseparable: the [[essence|empty essence]] of naked awareness beyond the [[ordinary mind]] is the [[dharmakaya]], its [[nature|cognizant nature]] is the [[sambhogakaya]], and its [[compassionate energy|all-pervasive compassionate energy]] is the [[nirmanakaya]].
 + 
 +===Meditation===
 +The meditation consists of the approach of [[cutting through resistance]] to [[primordial purity]] (Tib. ''kadak trekchö''), through which the lazy can reach liberation without effort, and the approach of the [[direct realization]] of [[spontaneous presence]] (Tib. ''lhundrup tögal''), through which the diligent can reach liberation with exertion.
 +
 +===Conduct===
 +The conduct is free from hope and fear and adopting and abandoning, because all that appears manifests as the display of reality itself.
 + 
 +===Results===
 +Perfecting the [[four visions]] of the path, one gains the supreme kaya, the rainbow body of great transference (see [[rainbow body]]), and attains the level of glorious [[Samantabhadra]], the thirteenth [[bhumi]] known as ‘Unexcelled Wisdom’ (''yeshe lama'').
