How can we visualize Yidams — even if we have no imagination or skill at visualization? How do we know which Enlightened Yidam is our Heart Meditational Deity? How do we choose a Yidam? How can we stabilize our visualization of the Yidam? Venerable Zasep Rinpoche offers pithy advice on choosing your yidam and developing the needed enthusiasm — "the excitement of a child for a toy" — to intensely and perfectly visualize your chosen Enlightened Buddha Meditation Deity.
