The five practices of enlightenment without meditation (Tib. མ་སྒོམ་སངས་རྒྱས་ཆོས་ལྔ་, ma gom sangye chö nga, Wyl. ma sgom sangs rgyas chos lnga) are sometimes given as:
- liberation through seeing (chakras) (Tib. tongdrol, Wyl. mthong grol);
- liberation on hearing (mantras and dharanis) (Tib. tödrol, Wyl. thos grol);
- liberation by tasting (amrita) (Tib. nyongdrol, Wyl. myong grol);
- liberation by touch[1] (mudra) (Tib. takdrol, Wyl. btags grol); and
- liberation by recollection or thinking (which includes the practice of phowa) (Tib. drendrol)[2]
Alternative Lists
- liberation by touching (Tib. regdrol, Wyl. reg grol) is sometimes added to the list, making six methods that lead to liberation.[3]
