Jamgon Kongtrul, a master practitioner and one of the most prolific writers of eighteenth-century Tibet, composed Creation and Completion as a guide to the effective practice of tantric Buddhist meditation. Written in the style of the Tibetan songs of realization, the text leads the way along a clear path of meditative self-transformation; from visualization of oneself in an enlightened form (creation, or generation, stage yoga) to the direct realization of the ultimate nature of reality (completion, or perfection, stage yoga).
