The Four Powers

See The Four Powers

Vajrasattva as the power of the support

Not in the form of your human teacher because you may be tempted to hide some negative actions. While Vajrasattva is omniscient. You cannot hide any action you've committed. But remember he is without judgements and full of compassion

♂ Vajrasattva — skillfull means — appearances — absolute space ♀ Vajratopa — wisdom — emptiness — primordial wisdom

in union:

• celebrate the union of the appearances and emptiness, ...
• emptiness is form, form is emptiness ...
• those two sides are inseparable
• neither permanent not non existent (tak che dans dralwa)

Symbols:

• In your ordinary form: not yet purified
• White lotus: transmutation
• Full moon: compassion
• Hung (ཧཱུྃ): Wisdom mind
• Dordje, Vajra (࿅): compassion, skillfull means, Wisdom (!) and emptiness
• Bell (࿄): Apparence and emptiness
• Vajrasattva's jewels: conquered/transmuted perceptions TODO: — indulge in perceptions → samsara — enjoy them corectly → Vajrayana (Be careful !!!)

As rainbow body, alive

Remember the Bodichitta

You have the opportunity to purify all sentient beings.

And Trust
