“The forms of the central and surrounding deities... should not be protruding like a clay statue or cast image, yet neither should they be flat like a painting. In contrast, they should be apparent, yet not truly existent, like a rainbow in the sky or the reflection of the moon in a lake. They should appear as though conjured up by a magician. Clear appearance involves fixing the mind one-pointedly on these forms with a sense of vividness, nakedness, lucidity, and clarity.”

“The first five—generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, and concentration—are related to the sublime accumulation of merit, while the sixth paramita corresponds to the great accumulation of wisdom.150 Aside from these two accumulations of wisdom and method united, there is no other means of attaining buddhahood.”

“You can never experience a moment of divorce from this naturally disposed, indwelling vision in the now, but through a failure of recognition it has become reified, like a natural flow of water frozen solid as ice. With the internal grasping mind as the cause and an external fixated object as the condition, you wander constantly in samsara.”
