Choosing and Visualizing the Yidam in Buddhist Meditation: Advice Zasep Rinpoche

How can we visualize Yidams — even if we have no imagination or skill at visualization? How do we know which Enlightened Yidam is our Heart Meditational Deity? How do we choose a Yidam? How can we stabilize our visualization of the Yidam? Venerable Zasep Rinpoche offers pithy advice on choosing your yidam and developing the needed enthusiasm — "the excitement of a child for a toy" — to intensely and perfectly visualize your chosen Enlightened Buddha Meditation Deity. #SpreadTheDharma #Buddhism @BuddhaWeekly #Yidam #Visualizing #BuddhaWeekly COMMENTS and COMMUNITY: Please be respectful in your comments, guided by kindness and Bodhichitta. We do appreciate corrections, however, we will not approve comments with corrections that are unsupported. If you wish to state "this is not correct" (bearing in mind it may be correct in one tradition and not in another) then it is important to INCLUDE YOUR CITATION (Which teacher or Sutra are you quoting.) Simply saying "This isn't true" is not a publishable comment. Why isn't it true? Or why do you disagree? We will also not approve comments with disparaging comments, regardless of the context. We will not approve any political comments, as we strive for a positive, spiritual community. Thank you for understanding!
