negative, male and female, and by using the appropriate
methods it is easy to convert the physical body into one
composed of holy light. We say in Chinese, "Guang

clarity, wisdom—this mental), but in English it is
difficult to get a combination to give this meaning.
It is as though the word "Enlightenment" could be split
up to give this meaning "en" (elements) and "light"
(wisdom).
By meditations using deep breathing and vajra-love, all
the elements are very skillfully employed, so that one
may come quickly to Full Enlightenment.

have liked them to be.
There are still some matters not treated fully, and
particularly in Chapter III. As the talking is by me and
the writing by you, all the latitudes are not so well
