these human parts must be cared for. This does not<br />

apply to the Buddha-body, which has its own complete<br />

system totally unrelated to any physical, fleshly entity.<br />

Returning to our description, each of the main wheels<br />

along the median channel has its own special function<br />

when breath <strong>and</strong> wisdom-drops appear <strong>and</strong> are well<br />

controlled. At that time certain supernatural powers may<br />

manifest themselves, as follows:<br />

The wheel of the crown of the head may open a holy<br />

gate to the Pure L<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> enables one to practice the<br />

yoga of phowa so that the practitioner can transmit his<br />

own consciousness to the l<strong>and</strong> of Buddha Amitabha or<br />

that of any other Buddha. The head-wheel can develop<br />

the heavenly eye, so that one can see everything under<br />

the heavens; in addition, the heavenly ear, with which<br />

one hears every sound or voice; <strong>and</strong> it also enables the<br />

meditator to see the light of the Dharmakaya. For this<br />

reason, it is also referred to as the Dharmakaya-wheel.<br />

When five kayas are dealt with, the throat-wheel may<br />

cause the meditator to acquire the four kinds of holy<br />

skill in debate, <strong>and</strong> empowers one to attain the<br />

Sambhogakaya.<br />

The wheel of the heart can cause the practitioner to gain<br />

the supernatural power to read others' minds, <strong>and</strong><br />

enables one to attain the sahajakaya or svabhavikakaya.<br />
