The Forth Vajra Point: The Element

The way a fourfold fruit is attained by abandonment:
'The (Dharmakaya) is purity, since the nature is pure
and (even) the remaining imprints are fully removed.
It is true self, since all conceptual elaboration
in terms of self and non-self is totally stilled.
It is true happiness, since (even) the aggregates
of mental nature and their causes are reversed.
It is permanence, since the cycle of existence
and the state beyond pain are realized as one.'

3 different kinds of Dharmakaya
Patrul Rinpoche, 'Calling the Lama from Afar':
1) the Dharmakaya at the time of the basis, the tathagatagabha, the pure expanse,
the essential nature of mind, the natural purity
2) the Dharmakaya of resting in meditative equipoise that which purifies
3) the ultimate Dharmakaya endowed with the twofold purity,
the purity that is the result that which has illuminated all substantial stains

'The analytical wisdom has cut all self-cherishing without exception.
Yet, cherishing beings, those possessed of compassion do not adhere to peace.
Relying on understanding and compassionate love, the means to enlightenment,
noble ones will neither (abide) in samsara nor is (limited) nirvana.'
