Practice and doctrine There are many unique teachings in the Shangpa tradition, but the most important are "The Five Golden Teachings", also called the Five Golden Doctrines of the Shangpas (), a group of teachings envisioned as forming a tree,. The innermost teachings are the "Six Yogas of Niguma" or more properly called "Six Dharmas of Niguma" (), which are very similar to the Six Yogas of Naropa practiced by the Dagpo schools. The Six Dharmas of Niguma include the teachings on tummo (inner fire), illusory body yoga, dream yoga, clear light yoga (sheer clarity), phowa (consciousness transference), and bardo (the intermediary state between death and birth) yoga. The next tier includes "The Locket Tradition of Mahamudra" which combines the mahamudra teachings of Niguma, Maitripa, and Sukhasiddhi. The teachings on the three methods of carrying one's understanding from meditation into daily activities. The practice of development and completion with the white and red dakinis. The teaching of the deathless nature of mind and body.
