Among them are one hundred and nineteen texts, and there are also seven cycles of instructions. This is the Numinous Heart Essence, and it is divided into two parts: the treatise on liberation through the key points of meditation, the direct vision, and the instructions on liberation through the key points at the time of death (page 75). This is the instruction for the time of death. Here, too, one is liberated by relying on the six objects of the mind and understanding the key points of the nature of reality. The third is the greatness of the purpose and the individual. That is, this instruction on liberation through the key points is for one lama who possesses the qualities and one disciple who possesses faith, and liberation can be attained at the same time. The disciple is suitable as a vessel for the Great Perfection of self-nature and is able to trigger karma through previous practice. Self-nature is when thoughts are weak, attachment is small, and generosity is great. There are eleven qualities of practice: having faith, being detached from samsara, having diligence and being able to give, respecting the lama and having vows, abandoning hypocrisy and deceit, being grateful, without arrogance or pride, and abandoning non-religious activities. These are the characteristics of a disciple acquired through practice. Through these eleven, the seed of enlightenment will definitely be produced. This is what is said in the Great Array. (Page 76) For someone who possesses these eleven characteristics of practice or the characteristics of self-nature, this instruction on liberation through the key points should be taught. The greatness of the profound name is explained in the chapter on names, that is, the explanation of the nature of the mind, the meaning of words, the place of disappearance, and the time of disappearance, etc. In short, the object of the ground is determined by the greatness of the instruction, that is, the instruction on the six objects of the mind composed by the great teacher Garab Dorje, who is no different from the actual Buddha, is divided into two: in order for those with sharp faculties to realize it immediately, the name is explained; in order for those with dull faculties to realize it gradually, the root of the instruction is explained. The root is divided into six parts: first, to identify the intention through six summary words; second, to block the gateway of arising and feeling with the razor of cutting off thoughts; third, to distinguish between mind (page 77) and wisdom with the ten entrustments of knowledge; fourth, to explain the arising of samsara and nirvana through the wheel of the mover abiding in itself;
