d. Harmonizing the wisdom-seal. We all have a natural<br />

wisdom <strong>and</strong> this is harmonized or mixed with the<br />

Buddha's wisdom. The latter is in the position of<br />

consequence, <strong>and</strong> although we have only visualized the<br />

Buddha-body, it comes to bestow itself upon us. How is<br />

this? The bija is visualized in the heart but after the<br />

wisdom of the Buddha has come (as an initiation), the<br />

seed-syllable is as though protected <strong>and</strong> embraced by<br />

that wisdom. This means making puja according to the<br />

Buddha Vairocana's great vows <strong>and</strong> visualizing the<br />

innumerable offerings described in the texts.<br />

e. Ecstatic samaya. After Enlightenment, one attains<br />

pleasure in this samaya.<br />

All these are in the nature of preliminary foundations in<br />

the vajradhatu; now we come to the main meditation:<br />

2. The Five Signs:<br />

a. To penetrate the nature of mind. This means to<br />

penetrate into the philosophic meaning, for not only our<br />

minds, but also the material of our bodies has come as a<br />

result of our human karma. A Buddha is produced<br />

differently, from the Dharmakaya, so first meditate on<br />

the nature of mind.<br />

b. Practice the meditation of bodhicitta. This is<br />

visualized in symbolic form as a moon eight inches in<br />

diameter.<br />
