I must have either read an early version of the post or just read it too quickly; sorry! Glancing through the manual, it seems pretty solid. There are close parallels to almost all the koans in Tibetan practice, especially Vipasyana and Mahamudra, but it has more of a program designed to get people through all the stuff in a systematic and timely way. As you know, you’re sort of left to figure things out on your own and motivate yourself in most Tibetan scenes. Of course, the problem with that is always, what happens if you’re on day whatever and are scheduled to have experienced Clear Deep Heart/Mind by now, but not much of anything has happened? Hopefully they don’t whack you with a stick! Still, it seems like good, solid stuff.

What do you mean by “this emotional work?” I hadn’t thought of either Rinzai or Qigong as primarily emotional.
