👉 This commentary, teaching, and instruction are taken from 'The Oral Instructions on the Six Dharmas of Naropa', by Drikungpa Dharmakirti, which is considered to be one of the finest commentaries on the Six Dharmas. In this teaching, taken from a nine-day retreat held in Frederick, Maryland, in 1995, Khenpo Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche skillfully guides us through each step of the practice.

This podcast series includes practical teachings on:
I. The Main Practice, which is divided into two parts:
1. The impure illusory body
• Practice without support, using magic, dreams, echoes, reflections, dew, bubbles, mirage, and rainbows as examples.
• Practice with support, contemplating the body as a reflection, the voice as an echo, and the mind as a cloud.
2. The pure illusory body
• Practice without support, visualizing yourself as the yidam.
• Practice with support, allowing the yidam to appear in a mirror in front of you.
II. The Concluding Practice, which involves learning how to distinguish between true realization and intellectual understanding.
