DHARMA STUDY & PRACTICE

Yuthok Nyingthig

The Yuthok Nyingthig, the ‘Heart Essence of Yuthok’ is a unique and comprehensive set of Tibetan Buddhist practices transmitted by Yuthok Yönten Gönpo the Younger, the great 12th century Tibetan physician and meditation adept who is considered to be an emanation of Medicine Buddha. It is a complete system of practice from the Anuttarayogatantra (Highest Yoga Tantra) class of teachings, beginning with Ngöndro (the preliminaries) and progressing through Kyerim and Dzogrim (Creation and Completion Stage practices) to the highest practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

The tradition includes concise and essential methods perfectly suited for busy contemporary practitioners that offer both worldly benefits including improved health and longevity for oneself and others, as well as the ultimate benefit of complete spiritual liberation. The Yuthok Nyingthig is the main spiritual tradition connected with Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan medicine), and it contains many unique methods to heighten the intuitive, diagnostic, and healing capacities of doctors. 

Yuthok Nyingthig "curriculum" follows the tree of progressive practice divided into:
1. Ngöndro Preliminary/ Foundational Practices
2. Kyerim/ Creation Stage Practices: 4 Guru Yogas
3. Dzogrim/ Completion Stage Practices: 6 Yogas + 2 Mudras
