This chapter examines the role of imagery and visualization in Tibetan Buddhist tantra, situating them within broader Indo-Tibetan accounts of luminosity, consciousness, and transformation. It traces the use of mental imagery from exoteric practices to deity yoga, showing how visualization integrates philosophical views of emptiness with subtle-body practices and soteriological aims. The final section considers Dzogchen, where deliberately constructed images are ultimately transcended through the recognition of rig pa and the spontaneous nature of experience.

Abstract
This chapter examines the role of imagery and visualization in Tibetan Buddhist tantra, situating them within broader Indo-Tibetan accounts of luminosity, consciousness, and transformation. It traces the use of mental imagery from exoteric practices to deity yoga, showing how visualization integrates philosophical views of emptiness with subtle-body practices and soteriological aims. The final section considers Dzogchen, where deliberately constructed images are ultimately transcended through the recognition of rig pa and the spontaneous nature of experience.
