supports our Dharma of Three-in-one. For in meditation<br />

itself, we should follow the order of these vehicles <strong>and</strong><br />

unite within our realization all three of them.<br />

i. Hinayana<br />

First meditate on the Truth of Duhkha, then will follow<br />

a thorough renunciation. Some desire is conquered in<br />

this stage. However, of the two inner obstacles, the veil<br />

of sorrows (klesavarana) is destroyed, while the veil of<br />

knowledge (jneyavarana) remains.<br />

ii. Mahayana<br />

From this, one should go on to practice the<br />

complementary Mahayana teachings of the paramitas<br />

<strong>and</strong> realization of sunyata with regard to both the person<br />

<strong>and</strong> events. After such practice, both inner <strong>and</strong> outer<br />

obstacles are easily destroyed: the klesa-veil <strong>and</strong> most<br />

of the jneyaveil are torn down.<br />
