the heart. Over this jewel is a protecting glass-like<br />

covering with a small door. In this door, one eye,<br />

entirely red in color, is set <strong>and</strong> this stares upwards to the<br />

six eyes in the palace while they stare down, looking<br />

only at this eye in the heart.<br />

f. Sixth day. Visualize a white, powerful wisdom-eye in<br />

the center of the palace (at the top of the skull). This<br />

gazes down on the red eye in the heart. The top eye <strong>and</strong><br />

the heart eye perform an action with each other like the<br />

clashing of cymbals, so that when the red one rises, the<br />

white one descends <strong>and</strong> strikes it. The eyes are<br />

visualized as sometimes moving from the bottom to the<br />

top; at other times the top ones clash with the bottom.<br />

Much light <strong>and</strong> many sparks are produced by this action.<br />

Each spark becomes an eye, so that the whole body is<br />

full of light <strong>and</strong> eyes.<br />

g. Seventh day. The meditator must now sit as a golden<br />

Buddha in the samatha of the Great Perfection (Qie Que<br />

(tregchod)).<br />

By practicing this for the prescribed time, one's body is<br />

completely transformed into a wisdom-light body. I<br />

have often explained this practice in works I have<br />

written in Chinese, but we have not the space in this<br />

book to list them all.<br />
