About the Immersion

What inspired Rinpoche to write Stainless Prajna?
The Heart of Tantra Immersion course integrates in-depth teachings on how to see the true nature of ourselves and the world by exploring Jamgön Kongtrul’s famous text Creation and Completion: Essential Points of Tantric Meditation, along with its commentary by Thrangu Rinpoche. Not only will we learn the principles of tantric practice but also directly experience these teachings through a short sadhana liturgy that we will practice together.
“The purpose of the creation and completion stages of meditation practice is to diminish and eventually eliminate mind’s attachment to existence and non-existence so that realization of emptiness and manifestation of clarity simultaneously shine forth.”
— 3rd Jamgön Kongtrul Rinpoche

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why should I attend?

    If you have been wondering what tantra is and how to practice it, this course is for you! Not only will you deepen your understanding, but you will also practice these profound teachings using a step-by-step approach and hear from lineage masters and leading voices within the Vajrayana tradition in interviews and webinars.

    This seems like too much for me . . . How much time will it take?

    Don’t worry, you will only need about one hour to complete each lesson, and you can take the course at your pace.

    Where can I purchase Text Book?

    Stainless Prajna: Meditation Manual on the Treasury of Abhidharma is not yet published. The English translation is expected to be completed next year. A draft translation is provided to all Vajrayana Online members as part of the course materials.

    Keep in mind that this is a traditional Buddhist meditation manual, not a typical book. Reading alone is not enough to truly understand it — the best approach is to learn directly from Mingyur Rinpoche, Tergar lamas, and Tergar guides throughout the Buddhist Psychology Immersion. During the course, you will receive teachings and practical guidance to explore each chapter and meditation in the text.

    Is it possible to begin the immersion after it has already started?

    Yes! You can join anytime and access all the material. You won't miss anything.

    Who can take this course?

    There are no prerequisites for this course. It is appropriate for practitioners of all levels.

    I'm already practicing the Joy of Living/the Path of Liberation. How can I integrate this course into my practice?

    Mingyur Rinpoche’s teachings make it easy to integrate the Abhidharma view into the practices you already do. Your daily practice will be enriched, and there’s no need to accumulate additional meditations from Stainless Prajna. There is no extra homework!
