Here I have simply shown the appropriate synchronization of appearance and mind. However, it is said that perfect synchronization can be achieved only at the meditational stage of the great one flavor.132 At this stage “the mind’s settled tranquility” consists of a sustained stillness free from evaluating and clinging, while perceiving vividly the appearance of an object one has focused on. “Insight” here consists of an awareness of certainty or understanding, based on the determination of a perceived appearance and its emptiness. “The union of tranquility and insight” consists of the appearance as inseparable from its intrinsic emptiness or of the emptiness itself appearing as a form. Based on such experience and understanding, the Dakpo Kagyüpa order has formulated such conceptual terms as “the principle of realizing appearances as dharmakāya” or “realizing every appearance and existence as dharmakāya.” To show that these terms have originated from the sūtras, tantras, and vital instructions, the Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya-sūtra states:Form is emptiness; emptiness is form.

Emptiness is not other than form;

Form is not other than emptiness.
