(A) The Three Holy Acts - no matter whether it is during Dharma practice, or in everyday life experiences, one's body, speech and mind must be in congruence with the Three Holy Acts. This is the most essential point for Mind Training!
The THREE HOLY ACTS : The Preliminary Act : The generation of Bodhicitta - this is the altruistic enlightened mind (bodhicitta) of wish, which belongs to the Relative Bodhicitta; The Main Act : The Bodhisattva Actions - this is the altruistic enlightened mind (bodhicitta) of action, which also belongs to the Relative Bodhicitta, such as the Six Paramitas; The emptiness on the nature of the Three Wheels of Actions -- that is, the nature of "the donor, the one who receives and the donation itself" are of emptiness -- this belongs to the Absolute Bodhicitta. With this attainment of emptiness, one can then achieve the "egolessness" of both the self and dharmas, such that the nature of "the practitioner, the yidam to be practiced, and the act of Dharma practice itself" will be of emptiness. The Final Act : (B) The relationship
of Mind Training with the transformation of the basic human needs.
