The First Wednesday Series

Expanding the Mind with Deity Visualization: Creation and Completion Practice

Another method for developing vipassana or “insight” is through the mental creation of a specific “deity” or ideal form with which you interact through chanting, visualizing, and mantra recitation, followed by the completion stage of the practice, in which the visualization is dissolved, allowing you to rest in the natural state of your own mind.

The First Wednesday Series is a series of free public talks on working with the mind through meditation by Lama Nancy Burks.
