View source for Purification, perfection, and maturation

'''Purification, perfection and maturation''' (Tib. དག་རྫོགས་སྨིན་གསུམ་, ''dak dzok min sum'', [[Wyl.]] ''dag rdzogs smin gsum'') – 

As taught in the [[inner tantras]], it is generally considered essential to have all three of these factors present when engaging in the tantric practice of the [[Kyerim|development stage]]. By meditating in accordance with the processes of the birth, death, and the [[Bardo|intermediate state]] (which comprise [[Samsara|cyclic existence]])—the [[Four modes of birth|four types of birth]] and so on—all clinging and appearances related to the  three levels of existence are refined away and '''purified'''. 

By meditating on the [[Buddha field|pure realms]], [[Deity|deities]], and so forth (which accord with [[nirvana]]), the qualities of the [[fruition]], such as the [[three kayas]] are '''perfected''' in the [[ground]], and the unique potential that allows for these qualities to be actualized comes into existence. 

In the same manner, penetrating the vital point of both purity and perfection (or, said differently, of the [[subtle channels|channels]], [[inner air|energies]], and [[Tiklé|essences]] in the [[vajra body]]), one is '''matured''' for the symbolic wisdom and true luminosity of the [[Dzogrim|completion stage]].<ref>See ''[[Great Tibetan Dictionary]]''.
