.pdfSUMMARY
of the creation of a new ritual universe. This universe is believed to be a consciousness cosmos populated by the pure buddhas, bodhisattvas, ḍākinīs, yogins, yoginīs and other adepts of this new world, this time that of one's own creation.These worlds in a way became substitutes for the former Mahāyāna, i. e. "pure lands" of contemplation Buddhas (buddhakṣetra) and had the already mentioned function of the meditative “Path” of liberation. The worlds are innumerable. Everybody creates his own world, where he gains his own peace and freedom from the burdens and dependencies of earthly life. The purification of his own consciousness with the help of tantric methods and contemplation of mysterious meetings (guhya-samaya) of Buddhist beings, who dwell in upper worlds is not logically justified. It is based solely on the practical yogic experience of the highest yoga tantra, which has replaced the old nirvāṇa.
