The Forth Vajra Point: The Element
Endowment, joint explanation of the qualities of cause and fruit
' Like the great sea, it holds qualities
immeasurable, precious, and inexhaustible.
Its essence holds indivisible properties.
thus (the element) is similar to a lamp.'

4 capacities function as causes for reviewing the buddha nature
1) the aspiration to Mahayana dharma
2) the prajna that realizes emptiness
3) samadhi, meditative concentration
4) loving kindness and compassion

Endowment in terms of the cause:
' Unifying the element of dharmakaya,
a victor's wisdom, and great compassion,
it is shown as being similar to the sea
by the vessel, the gems, and the water.'

Götsangpa describes the nature of mind in his song: Eight flashing lances

Endowment in terms of the fruit:
' Clairvoyance, primordial wisdom, and absence of pollution
are totally indivisible and native to the unstained abode.
Thus it has properties corresponding
to the light, heat, and color of a lamp'
