Nirmanakaya, which effect mystical transformations for<br />

the sake of saving others. The three holy wisdom<br />

dharmas in the Buddha-body have certain orders <strong>and</strong><br />

rules. All these practices are the means to attain the<br />

position of consequence of Buddhahood. The<br />

practitioner is taught by the Buddha himself <strong>and</strong> may<br />

reach the goal in this lifetime.<br />

Why does a meditator need the third initiation? We now<br />

turn to the reasons for it.<br />

2. Third Initiation<br />

Though the practices we have so far described have<br />

already materialized a Buddha-body, a practitioner still<br />

needs to integrate the Buddha-body much more<br />

thoroughly through the help of a dakini. Just as a human<br />

body is formed from the main conditions of the father's<br />

sperm, the mother's ovum, <strong>and</strong> the consciousness of the<br />

being, so the Buddha-body requires the Buddha's<br />

wisdom drops, the dakini's wisdom drop, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

meditator's ninth consciousness.<br />

A male meditator has more wisdom-drops of shakta <strong>and</strong><br />

fewer of shakti; <strong>and</strong> vice-versa for the female meditator.<br />

The entire male body partakes of shakta, while only the<br />

reproductive organ has shakti nature. The female is the<br />

reverse. During the act of vajra-love, the lotus <strong>and</strong> the<br />

vajra both draw in their complementary drops.<br />
