【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- After you have the aspiration of ultimate Bodhichitta, you can cultivate Tantric practice.

Well, you rely on the prerequisite shared path, which is truly having “trained your mind by means of the ordinary path!” We should have this recognition of the shared path if we are aspired to apply the Tantric practices. Conversely, by the same token, once you reach a certain level of the Tantric principle, may I ask, what is that level? If you earnestly abide by the preceding teachings, your rebirth will be a higher rank. What is the qualification of a higher rank rebirth? Well! It is the aspiration of ultimate Bodhichitta, just like that! So to sincerely apply Tantric practice, take a look at our current situation, “Wow, I received an initiation, and I am cultivating Tantra practice.”* Sigh! Such attitude is totally out of it. By the time you have accrued the qualification, then you can study the Tantra practice. So in general, a Bodhisattva of the eighth level usually is said to be studying the Tantra practice. Some special cases can start to learn from the entry-level Bodhisattva, and the progress should be fast. This is why I mentioned that Youthful Sudhana achieved it in one lifetime. Well, he should be a good example. This concept is very explicit and very clear here.

道次引导 : 发胜义菩提心才修学密法

【如是以诸共道净相续已，决定应须趣入密咒。】

喏，你要前面这个共道呀，真正的“净相续已”四个字哦！这个对于我们修学密教的人，就应该有个认识了。反过来，同样的，密教的道理到那时候，等到你能够达到这个程度，那个程度请问是什么？如果你真的前面这个做到，你往生的话，上品上生。上品上生的条件是什么？嘿！发胜义菩提心，就是这样啊！所以真正修学密法，拿我们现在说：哎哟，我灌了个顶，修密了。”唉！实在是对它不了解。那个时候你有了这个条件了，然后你要学密了。所以说平常一般哪，一般八地的菩萨，通常说那经常都是学密；然后呢特殊的，初地就开始学，那个时候可以学密了，应该快速的，应该那个时候开始学起。所以我说善财童子一生取办，喏，大概就是这个榜样，这个地方很清楚、很明白了。
