This light has many special characteristics which are<br />

dealt with in Mahayana <strong>and</strong> Vajrayana doctrines;<br />

however, not even an arhat of the Hinayana can describe<br />

it clearly <strong>and</strong> accurately. It can only be certified by the<br />

personal guru who has himself experienced it. After that,<br />

there is no other experience to teach. If a false holy light<br />

appears, the guru will simply point it out as such <strong>and</strong><br />

ask the disciple to practice again according to the<br />

methods <strong>and</strong> rules of the third initiation until realization<br />

of the Dharmakaya is actually attained.<br />

were imparted by the great guru Padmasambhava in<br />

Tibet, <strong>and</strong> did not come from India. It is possible that<br />

some of these doctrines may be false, but others are<br />

quite worthwhile to practice.<br />

by the great guru Padmasambhava.<br />
