dripping of snow white colour in head centre and producing bliss. All such visualization is non existent and imaginary.
Illusary Body Yoga :
Yogi prays for blessing and help to red Sambhogkaya guru sitting with his consort at the throat centre. This is practised either sitting or standing before a mirror. He thinks that all objects in outer world are mere manifestation of confused mind and are like mirages, dreams, bubbles, dew and shadows. Surprising by Guru sitting with consort is not Budhist but shaivite concept incorporated here. The qualifying word "Sambhog Kaya" for imagined guru denotes sexually engaged and is obscene. All the visualization mentioned here is factually unreal illusion of confused mind but on the contrary the real world is mentioned as mirage, dream etc. It is same as concept of 'Maya' in vedic tradition.
Dream Yoga :
This yoga practice is recognition of dreams. The yogi investigates what causes rapid awakening from dream, tension, noise etc. Dream yoga and illusory yoga are almost alike and former is regarded as supplementary to latter. One of the purposes of dream yoga is to realize illusory body in bardo (death) state and also in life time and the yogi guards himself in frightening dream by uttering that it is first a dream only. It is considered that the practice of illusory and dream yoga leads to purify the habitual thoughts of samsara (worldly life), that all things are manifestations of mind which is devoid of self-entity like dream and that both Samsara (woldly) and Nirvana (Salvation) are unreal images and bind and liberate nothing. This concept is also contrary to reality.
Light Yoga :
In this yogi visualizes (imagines) blue colour Vajvadhara with his consort sitting at heart centre, meditates on void, conjures revelation of light, imagines the body dissolving in light and concentrates on it. By practices yogi will be able to unfold four lights or voids of revelations, augmentation, attainment and finally the innate boon which will eliminate both crude and samsaric (worldly) thoughts and will be face to face with genuine light of sleep. The innate light is supposed to exist for all time regardless of whether one is aware or not. Light of sleep and light of death are parts of this innate light. The four lights of void lead to direct realisation of Shunayata (Void) and finally it is light of fruition which is perfect and complete realisation of Buddhahood. Since all this is in imagination only, it cannot be reality.
