Therefore, the emptiness that severs the aggregates, and the profound self-arisen (Thal byung) are said not to be meditated upon. Although in this system, the emptiness explained through self-arisen (Thal rang) is not to be meditated upon, it is not without purpose. Because it can prevent improper attention and conceptual thoughts, as well as the conceptual thoughts of grasping subject and object, and the conceptual thoughts of considering oneself as a supreme deity (Gya nom lhar zhen). May the Vajrayana practitioners who observe the additions and omissions of the recited words, through the virtue of such explanations, attain a firm state of realization. This composition called 'Knowing the Entrance to the Ocean of Two Accumulations' is completed. Now, to refute the argument that the emptiness of the Madhyamaka school should not be practiced as a tantric meditation, I will explain this here. Auspicious! Homage to Vajradhara. Now, to refute the argument that the emptiness of the Madhyamaka school should not be practiced as a tantric meditation, I will explain this here. Some argue that if the emptiness analyzed by reason cannot eliminate the obscurations that appear in tantra through habitual thinking, then it contradicts all scriptures. In response, the clear Dakini (Kha'gro ma) in the Vajraguhya Tantra says: 'The Buddhas taught emptiness to reverse all views and the ego-clinging of those who seek self.' The meaning is that if all elaborations in conceptual thought are cut off, then the conceptual thought of clinging to elaborations has no chance to arise. At that time, the wisdom (Jnana) of tantra will arise free from elaborations. This wisdom does not necessarily depend on reason, because wisdom naturally arises from the merging of wind and mind into the central channel. However, to counteract the tendency of later schools to cling to this wisdom as real, one should habitually practice according to the instructions in the scriptures to eliminate all faults. The Vajraguhya Tantra further states: 'Therefore, the Mandala (Tibetan: dkyil 'khor, Sanskrit Devanagari: मण्डल, Sanskrit Romanization: maṇḍala, Chinese literal meaning: center and circle) and the Wheel (Tibetan: 'khor lo, Sanskrit Devanagari: चक्र, Sanskrit Romanization: cakra, Chinese literal meaning: wheel) are the samaya of bliss of skillful means, and through the yoga of Buddha-pride, one will not be separated from Buddhahood for a long time.' 'The teacher possesses the thirty-two major marks, and the main deity is complete with the eighty minor marks.' My understanding of this is that 'samaya of bliss' refers to the great bliss of wisdom that holds all conceptual thoughts, which destroys all obscurations and naturally possesses all qualities. This non-duality of skillful means and wisdom is Vajradhara. The best method to manifest Vajradhara is the Mandala and the Wheel, and by habitually practicing them, one will quickly achieve the Vajradhara of the fruition.
