Therefore, just as the alchemical medicine can turn iron into gold, binding the Bodhicitta without leakage to the body can exhaust all material realms. The commentary on the fifth chapter says: Just as fixing mercury with fire can turn all iron into gold, similarly, binding the Bodhicitta with the yoga of the arising stage can make the aggregates, realms, and sources free from obscurations. It also says: Just as refining mercury can devour iron and jewels, and occupy a dominant position among them, but it itself is not a material realm. This powerful medicine, no matter what iron it touches, can make the iron pure, and stones turn into jewels. Similarly, practicing Bodhicitta can devour the aggregates, realms, sources, and life, and occupy a dominant position among them, but it itself is not material. Thus it is said. The Holy Ones school believes that the mind's luminosity is immutable bliss. The emptiness of bliss and emptiness in union is the form body of the conventional truth, and bliss is the wisdom that enters the ultimate truth, so it is slightly different from the understanding of bliss and emptiness described in other treatises. When the Bodhicitta is bound to the body without leakage, and immutable bliss is perfected, all material realms will be exhausted, and semen itself will not exist. Because at that time, the semen as the basis of bliss, and the relationship of bliss relying on it must be severed. As the 'Condensed Empowerment Sutra' says: The relationship of the basis and the dependent, lasts until the immutable nature is obtained. When the mind obtains the immutable nature, the relationship of the basis and the dependent does not exist. Thus it is said, so in the crown chakra, before the semen is perfected, the relationship of the basis and the dependent exists, and after perfection, when immutability is obtained, it does not exist. Therefore, do not understand the Vajra body of emptiness and form, disappearing like a rainbow, as if the stomach is filled with milk. Second, why is the completion stage established as six branches, and not more or less? Because the Buddha to be attained has three aspects of body, speech, and mind, so the completion stage as its method of practice must also be six branches. Using individual and general methods, practice what has not yet been achieved, and stabilize the emptiness that has already been achieved.
