Tibetan Buddhism

Deity Yoga - Divine Transformation

Visualizing oneself as an enlightened deity to transform ordinary perception.

Deity yoga involves visualizing oneself as an enlightened being, transforming body, speech, and mind into the divine. This is not ego-inflation but rather recognizing one's innate Buddha nature.

All phenomena are the display of the deity.

Padmasambhava, Tantric Instructions

Deity yoga uses imagination to actualize enlightened potential.
