Part IV: Nourishing the Subtle Body
Ian Baker · 197 minutes
Chulen, the Tibetan word for rasayana, substances that support practice and realisation, is the subject here. Ian Baker reads out a treasure text describing five magical herbs said to grow in the womb of the goddess Vajrayogini in lower Pemako, then traces herbal medicine as one of five means of attaining siddhi through the Abhidharmakosha and Patanjali, mercury in the Kalachakra, and what soma was. Practical examples follow, from onion juice and honey for inner fire to shilajit in long retreat, then an hour of questions.
