Four vidyadhara levels

Four vidyadhara levels (Tib. rig 'dzin rnam pa bzhi)

• matured vidyadhara
• vidyadhara with power over life
• mahamudra vidyadhara
• spontaneously accomplished vidyadhara

According to Khenpo Ngakchung:

• Those who have the ability to purify the ordinary body with the fire of concentration and transform it into a subtle body acquire the power of immortal life and are called vidyadharas with power over life.
• Those who have not been able to purify their bodies but whose minds have ripened into the deity’s body are known as matured vidyadharas.
• Those who are on the second to the ninth bhumis are mahamudra vidyadharas.
• Then, at the end of the path, at the moment buddhahood is reached, they are spontaneously accomplished vidyadharas.
