“Having trained your mind in the common path in this way, it is absolutely necessary to enter the vajrayana, for thanks to that path you will easily complete the two collections without having to take three countless aeons to do so. Moreover, having received an experiential explanation on the way to rely on a spiritual master up to meditative serenity and special insight, meditate daily in four sessions, or in a minimum of one, and gain a transformational experience of the stages of the path, for this is the best method to take full advantage of your life with freedom and fortune.”
