This arising wisdom yoga is a great accomplishment. Thus it is said. The Tantra of Means has been explained. Now, the Tantra of the Result will be explained. The Tantra of the Result is the Vajra Body, which is free from all obscurations. Furthermore, one should understand it by considering the cause upon which it depends to be attained, the time at which it is attained, the nature of what is attained, the distinctions between the body and its qualities, and the manner in which it abides for as long as it exists. Among these, the cause upon which it depends to be attained is the two accumulations of merit and wisdom. In the commentary on the 'Supreme Unchanging' it says: 'One endowed with merit is the accumulation of merit; wisdom is the great source of wisdom; one endowed with wisdom knows everything; the two accumulations are the accumulators.' Therefore, because the Blessed One said so. If one is deficient in merit and wisdom, one will not be transformed into a Buddha due to the force of habituating oneself to meditating on the forms of conceptualization. It is said that Buddhahood is not achieved due to being deficient in the two accumulations. The two accumulations are the accumulation of merit that is solely for the benefit of sentient beings, and the accumulation of wisdom that is solely the unchanging bliss. As it is said elsewhere in the commentary. The accumulation of merit is to benefit sentient beings through the four immeasurable thoughts of perfect intention, the four objects of gathering of the common perfect application, the four uncommon activities, and the eight attainments. The accumulation of wisdom is the complete perfection of the twenty-one thousand six hundred unchanging bliss. The Vajra Body is born from such two accumulations, but it is not an eternal, self-arisen Buddha that is born without cause and conditions, nor is it born from abandoning the proliferation of the accumulation of merit such as the generation stage, and only meditating on the non-conceptual completion stage. Here, the emptiness of all forms of the Great Seal, and the Vajra Body, which is without birth and death, are sometimes spoken of. In the context of the path, the form of emptiness is without inherent existence, like dreams and illusions, so it refers to the absence of true birth and death established by its own characteristics. In the context of the result, that Vajra Body is Samsara.
