Fig. 1 THE FOUR YOGAS AND THEIR THREE<br />

PARTS OF PURPORT<br />

My guru, Rona Rinpoche, gave a good parable to us, his<br />

disciples. He said, "It is like building a pagoda of nine<br />

stories; the lowest three are Hinayana, in the middle are<br />

three of the Mahayana, while the highest are the three<br />

Vajrayana stories. Those at the base are most important<br />

for the support of the higher ones: each yana is<br />

preparation for the one above." This is good instruction<br />

for us now.<br />
