Advice for the Mantra Holder Sang-Ngak

from The Essential Amrita of Profound Meaning: Oral Instructions and Practical Advice Bestowed Upon Fortunate Followers, Eye-opener to What is to be Adopted and Abandoned

by Chokgyur Lingpa

To begin with, meditate persistently on impermanence.
Then, pray to the gurus.
As the main part, rest the mind within the state of emptiness.
In conclusion, make excellent dedications and aspirations.

Chokgyur Lingpa wrote this at the request of the mantradhara Sang-Ngak (Secret Mantra).
