UNIFICATION

i::r19il1'Q''4]?:!19'

Having generated strong sense of renunciation by contemplating death and impermanence, completely abandon shortsightedness and think, "Those who were born in the past have died, those who are taking birth are destined to die, those who are now alive will die. I, too, may die today or tomorrow, leaving .everything behind, nothing being of any use." Then meditate on compassion for all suffering sentient beings by reflecting on how they, not recognizing themselves, not realizing that their mind is the Truth Body, grasp at "I" that does not exist, grasp at "self" that does not exist.

II Guru Yoga that Swiftly Instils Blessing The roots from which develop all experiences and realizations are the guru's blessing and your devotion to the guru.

The Hevajra Tantra says, "Unspoken by others, the co-emergence Cannot be found anywhere. Be it known that it arises from Following the guru for an extended time and from your own merits."
