: WikiPedia: Tibetan Buddhismsgyu lus (嘟︵緬嗑编酱嗉嬥剑嘟脆溅) (=Gyul眉) refers to the 鈥測oga of the illusory body鈥� and represents one of the Six Dharmas of Naropa, a set of advanced Tibetan Buddhist tantric practices compiled by the Indian Mahasiddhas Tilopa and Naropa (1016鈥�1100 CE).鈥� Sgyu lus is known in Sanskrit as M膩y膩k膩y膩/M膩y膩deha and represents a kind of contemplation on the illusory nature (尘腻测腻) of phenomena. Tilopa鈥檚 oral instructions state: 鈥淎ll animate and inanimate things of the three worlds are like the examples of an illusion, a dream and so forth. See this at all times, both in movement and in stillness. Contemplate an illusory deity reflected in a mirror; take a drawn image of Vajrasattva, and consider how the reflected image vividly appears. Just as that image is an illusory appearance, so it is with all things. The yogi thus contemplates the twelve similes and sees the reality of how all things are illusory. This is the instruction of [the Mahasiddha] Nagarjuna鈥�.
骋补尘辫辞辫补鈥檚 Closely Stringed Pearls explains the practice of sgyu lus (鈥測oga of the illusory body鈥�) as follows: The practice is done by assuming a meditative posture and meditating by looking at one鈥檚 body in a mirror, contemplating how it has an illusory nature. According to Kragh, 鈥淗e should then speak to himself, voicing many self-criticisms and check whether he feels any unhappiness or expressing praises and see whether he feels pleased. As long as such emotions arise, he has not trained himself sufficiently in the practice. Once no emotion occurs, he should contemplate all appearances of himself and everything else as having a hallucinatory and dream-like quality鈥�.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
