(continued from previous issue)

We each have a flesh body that has many obstacles, and much defilement. You must use Buddha-dharma to purify it. Use your prana, channel, and drop to purify it. Enable your body to reveal the luminosity of the nature of emptiness. This primordial luminosity of the nature of emptiness is none other than Buddha-nature. Use this Buddha-nature to validate the eternal giant wheel of time of this universe and crush away all of your afflictions and obstacles. This is the practice of Kalachakra.

Does everyone understand my explanation? The human body has many obstacles and many diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, excessively low or high cholesterol, blood vessel hardening, and is subjected to infection by various forms of microbes and viruses. Thus, you must cultivate. In Vajrayana, you have to strengthen your body. You must perform vajra fist exercises. You must stay active and utilize your physical body, and you must cultivate your prana. This is practicing in accordance with Treasure Vase qi. The qi will enter your middle channel and will reach all of your skin pores, your blood vessels, and all parts of your body. It will nourish your internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, etc.) and all the skin pores. So first you receive the Kalachakra practice empowerment, and later Kalachakra gives you blessings. He will enter you and purify your body. When you and Kalachakra completely unite as one being, this is what we call the "three-wheel realized emptiness." [Note: The three-wheel term commonly refers to giver, receiver, and offering]. When you succeed in this practice, when you've purified yourself, in the blink of an eye, the Kalachakra inside of you will become you.
