elates the four enlightened realms, causing arhats <strong>and</strong><br />

pratyeka-buddhas to feel their samadhis are insufficient<br />

to attain samyak-sambodhi, <strong>and</strong> the bodhisattvas <strong>and</strong><br />

Buddhas to bless the meditator as their true inheritor.<br />

Furthermore, all these four different sizes of vajras are<br />

in a permutable connection with one another. When<br />

heart vajra is extended to body vajra, mentality <strong>and</strong><br />

materiality are identified. When the vajra is extended to<br />

the hermitage, subjectivity <strong>and</strong> objectivity are identified.<br />

When it is extended to Dharmadhatu vajra, the<br />

garbhadhatu <strong>and</strong> the vajradhatu are identified.<br />

Taking any one of the vajras, all the others encircle it<br />

<strong>and</strong> they are interwoven.<br />

Bodhicitta, the unconditional compassion of the<br />

Dharmakaya; the unlimited merits of all gods, gurus,<br />

yidams, dakinis, <strong>and</strong> protectors in the hermitage; the<br />

thirty-two forms of the incarnations of the<br />

Buddha-body—all function with the heart vajra.<br />

When one considers the body vajra, the other three are<br />

integrated with it. The more one emphasizes the<br />

negation of one's human body, the better is the<br />

Buddha-body <strong>and</strong> the interrelations of all the vajras.<br />

Thus, the bodies of all the beings mentioned above are<br />

permuted <strong>and</strong> identified, <strong>and</strong> there is neither any<br />

Buddhahood to be achieved nor any sentient being to be<br />

saved.<br />
