transparent <strong>and</strong> smooth. The eggs emit light-rays twelve<br />

feet long, in five colors symbolizing the five wisdoms.<br />

Inside the egg are five different lights: the outermost<br />

circle is white, the second red, the third yellow, the<br />

fourth green, <strong>and</strong> the fifth one blue. Inside the blue light<br />

there is sky-blue light, like the cloudless sky, <strong>and</strong> its<br />

size is only that of a grain of rice. Inside this sky-blue<br />

light there is a drop the size of a mustard seed with light<br />

of variegated colors; this is the entity of sunyata. It is<br />

like the moon reflected in water, or the reflection in a<br />

mirror. The colors, six of them, represent Dorje Chang<br />

<strong>and</strong> his five Buddha-disciples. The egg thus possesses<br />

many superior virtues. The wisdom-drop of the<br />

Buddha-body should be visualized like this."<br />

I have never seen such a detailed description in any<br />

Tibetan Tantric work, <strong>and</strong> I present it to the reader for<br />

help in practice of the wisdom-drop. We should know<br />

that the quintessence of the Buddha-body is the<br />

wisdom-drop, which is the crystallization of the<br />

Dharmakaya, the gathering of bliss of the<br />

Sambhogakaya, <strong>and</strong> the seeds of compassion of the<br />

numberless Nirmanakayas. It is the holy life. When it is<br />

transmitted into Amitabha's mind, one becomes<br />

Amitabha; when transferred to Cakrasamvara Buddha's<br />

mind, the meditator becomes Cakrasamvara; thus may<br />

one become any Buddha. It is the perfect wisdom, from<br />

which the great bliss arises to its maximum, bestowing<br />

success in attainment of the<br />

mahasukha-prajnakaya—the highest aim of Vajrayana,<br />
