For each yogi, a vow must be made. The twenty-five ascetic practices of mantra. The precepts of the five castes, both common outer and inner, are two: outer and inner. Fourteen root downfalls. Eight branch gross transgressions. Twenty-seven root samayas of Dzogchen. Twenty-five branches. The four spontaneously accomplished samayas of the single, uncreated state. With the thought, "I will not violate," make each vow. Such a vow, even if it costs my life, I will not violate, grasp the second hook of the vow. Therefore, for those that you can protect, make the vow, "I will not do"; for those that you cannot protect, with the thought, "This and this I will protect as much as I can, and if I can protect them, then Guru Vajrasattva, please bless me to purify my continuum completely." Each time a vow is made, the continuum becomes purer and purer. If it is not like that, but just superficially saying, "In the future, I will also cut off and guard," nothing will happen. The power of the antidote of conduct is all the virtue that goes as an antidote to non-virtue, but here it refers to the visualizations of raining down nectar for purification. During the recitation for one's own benefit, the Dharmakaya, generate special faith and confidence in the objects of refuge, such as the gurus, and then radiate light. During the recitation for the benefit of others, the Rupakaya, contemplate on sentient beings as mothers, remembering their kindness, etc., and generate intense, unbearable compassion, and then radiate and gather the light. Third, the practice and recitation of Vajrasattva.
