The navel-wheel may help one to acquire the<br />

supernatural power of the knowledge of past lives of<br />

oneself <strong>and</strong> others, <strong>and</strong> also to attain Nirmanakaya.<br />

into four kinds: material-drops, breath-drops,<br />

incantation-drops, <strong>and</strong> wisdom-drops. Material-drops<br />

are the sperm or ova of the human body; breath-drops<br />

are energies; incantation-drops are bijas <strong>and</strong> true words.<br />

These latter two pertain to the lower three Tantras. It is<br />

important not to mistake the wisdom-drops, which<br />

belong to the anuttarayoga, for the sperm. Certain<br />

ancient authors did this.<br />

Many famous Tibetan works state that all the organs<br />

(such as the heart, liver, stomach, etc.) are formed for<br />

the material-drops; however, the drops <strong>and</strong> the organs<br />

differ in their degree of purity. In my opinion, all the<br />

organs belong only to the physical body <strong>and</strong> should be<br />

treated as impure, as the Hinayana teachings indicate.<br />

Of the four kinds, the Buddha-body has only the<br />

wisdom-drops, included in practice of the anuttarayoga<br />

in the second <strong>and</strong> third initiations. At the bottom of the<br />

median channel are situated the red wisdom-drops,<br />
