Clear <strong>and</strong> brilliant, you are inconceivable.<br />

Your thoughts delight <strong>the</strong> buddhas.<br />

You are omniscient <strong>and</strong> supreme.<br />

Your awareness is unchanging Essence.<br />

Your mind is <strong>the</strong> <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong>.<br />

The State of Vajradhara<br />

As an enlightened being, you attain <strong>the</strong> state of Vajradhara, comprising seven qualities:<br />

1. Your saṃbhogakāya form possesses <strong>the</strong> all major <strong>and</strong> minor marks of a buddha.<br />

2. Your saṃbhogakāya form sexually embraces an enlightened consort.<br />

3. Your mind is always in a state of <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong>.<br />

4. Your mind directly perceives <strong>the</strong> unity of <strong>the</strong> Clear Light <strong>and</strong> worldly appearances.<br />

5. Your mind is eternally in a state of great love <strong>and</strong> compassion for all beings.<br />

6. Your nirmāṇakāya form is eternal.<br />

7. Your buddha activities of enjoying worldly pleasures <strong>and</strong> benefitting beings are ceaseless.<br />

Vows<br />

Your vows are <strong>the</strong> vows of <strong>the</strong> fourth consecration: <strong>to</strong> perceive everything as <strong>the</strong> union of<br />

Essence <strong>and</strong> Pure Appearance, <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> allow all your actions <strong>to</strong> be guided by primordial,<br />

spontaneous wisdom.<br />

Sādhana Vows – Sādhana Samaya<br />

As you practice <strong>the</strong> nondual yoga portion of <strong>the</strong> sādhana, allow <strong>the</strong> view of Mahāmudrā <strong>to</strong><br />

spontaneously emerge, <strong>and</strong> observe as <strong>the</strong> four levels of realization progressively arise.<br />

Daily Conduct - Caryā<br />

While most meditative practices make a strong distinction between <strong>the</strong> meditative state <strong>and</strong> postmeditative<br />

state, Mahāmudrā does not. You maintain <strong>the</strong> view at all times. Share your bliss with<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs, be loving <strong>and</strong> compassionate, <strong>and</strong> serve <strong>the</strong>m effortlessly. Whatever your level of<br />

realization is, maintain it <strong>and</strong> just be natural. Live your life, however that may be, with family,<br />

work, <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r activities, <strong>and</strong> blend your view of Mahāmudrā in<strong>to</strong> all that you do. This is not so<br />

easy <strong>to</strong> do at first. As you develop in <strong>the</strong> Four Levels, eventually it becomes impossible for<br />

anything in your awareness <strong>to</strong> distract you – your realization becomes indestructible. Your vows<br />

(samayas) from <strong>the</strong> fourth consecration elevate you in<strong>to</strong> attaining <strong>and</strong> maintaining <strong>the</strong> view of<br />

Mahāmudrā. Over time, as primordial wisdom directs you, you rely less on your vows <strong>and</strong><br />

finally let go of <strong>the</strong>m. Attend <strong>Tantric</strong> feasts (gaṇacakra) as you desire <strong>and</strong> soar in <strong>the</strong> intensity of<br />

<strong>the</strong> group erotic energies. “<strong>Bliss</strong>ed out,” you become profoundly contented as you effortlessly<br />
