A Complete and Detailed Exposition on the True Buddha Tantric Dharma

By Living Buddha Sheng-yen Lu
Translated by Janny Chow

Emerging from Samadhi

       After entering into Samadhi, one eventually emerges from Samadhi. When one is ready to emerge from Samadhi, the visualization steps of the "entering of the Personal deity into self" are reversed. First one's body or the Personal deity contracts to a miniature size and rests on the lotus in one's heart chakra. Next, the Personal deity transforms into a dot of light and travels along the middle channel to the crown. At the top of the crown, this dot of light transforms back into the Personal Deity. After this, the Personal deity moves forward and turns around to once again stand facing one. This is the exit of Personal Deity from oneself. The Personal deity that is sitting in the middle of one's heart emerges and re-enters the spiritual realm. This is the exit of the Personal Deity from one's body into the spiritual realm. So, following the entering of the Personal deity into oneself is the exiting of the Personal deity from oneself. At this point one emerges from Samadhi.
