There is a field for taming. In the west is a continent called the Sorrowless Expanse. It is the taming field of the emanation of the qualities of the Mother. In the north is a continent called Kundalini. It is the taming field of the emanation of the activities of the Mother. The Great Continent called Vast Protection is surrounded by four great continents. Each continent has hundreds of Jambudvipas. Among them are the Continent of Musical Instruments, the Continent of Supreme Fragrance, the Continent of Supreme Taste, the Continent of Samantabhadra's Perfection, and the Continent of Kundalini. Above that are countless and inexpressible celestial continents and cities. The gods are mostly distracted by their own ornaments and enjoyments. Some gods perform benefit for beings in India. Some gods have fallen into Tibet, and many hold curved knives. Some gods wander in the bardo. Some gods perfectly hold the lineage of the Buddha. In the center of the eastern continent, Tashi Gomang, of the Great Continent of Vast Protection, there is a place called the Mountain of Perfect Glory, the Wish-Fulfilling Continent. In its center resides a great stupa that arose spontaneously, from which appear a thousand and two self-arisen stupas. Sons and daughters of the gods offer enjoyments as treasures. That continent is the taming continent of the Mother's speech. The emanation of the Mother, the assembly of heroes and heroines, and one dakini, are surrounded by countless dakinis. In the southern continent, Jewel Perfection, of the Great Continent of Vast Protection, there is a self-arisen crystal stupa. In the four directions are four great flower continents. Many sons and daughters of the gods offer these flowers. There are the heroes and heroines, the assembly of dakas and dakinis, emanations of the Mother's mind. When a dakini with a yellow body is taming, at the time when the sun is at its peak, the sons and daughters of the gods play the music of offerings, invite her, and she goes to the Akanishta realm, arriving before the Mother. The Mother said: Why do you not perform benefit for beings in the Jewel Perfection continent, but come here? The dakini said: The gods are immersed in enjoyment.
