3.Whoever desires to achieve the purpose of meditation
should realize the Dharmakaya to liberate himself and
others. He must forever pursue the final truth until this,
the Dharmakaya, is found.
4. He must also desire the perfect and pure pleasure of
the Sambhogakaya (the Buddha's body of enjoyment
seen only by Bodhisattvas of high attainment in
perfectly concentrated meditation).
5.The attainment of Mahakaruna, the great compassion
to save all sentient beings, must also be pursued; in this
way an earnest practitioner gains the Nirmanakaya (the
outward, fleshly, or appearance body of the Buddhas
seen by animals, men, and devas during the Buddhas'
lives among them).
6. It is essential to recognize the yoga of the six great
elements (air, earth, water, fire, space, and
consciousness), which may shorten one's time of
attaining Full Enlightenment to sixteen lives only (see
Chapter XII, E, and Chapter XII, H). By the meditation
of this yoga one attains svabhavikakaya, the
Buddha-entity body (not considered as a separate
"body" but rather as a collective term for all the three
preceding ones in oneness).
