"When one is meditating on the protection circle, what should the main practice be? What is more important, one's own or others' welfare? And commonly, by what activity should one achieve it?"

"Listen, you enchanting princess. To mainly pursue your own welfare, accomplish the three kayas and practice the instructions of the secret guidance. To pursue the welfare of others, the benefit of beings, give guidance and empowerments and accumulate actions for others' sake. If you desire to meet me, practice the mystery and always supplicate me. If you desire to attract oathbound ones and dakinis, exert yourself in feast rituals and fulfillment amendments. If you desire to attract the Dharma protectors as subjects, do the creation phase, recitations, and torma rituals. To engender the physical experience of bliss-emptiness, rely on a mudra partner. If you desire to eliminate obstacles to long life, avoid recreants who have broken their sacred pledge. If you desire to bring beings under your control, meditate on the aspiration of awakening and give up prejudice. If you desire greater prosperity, offer whatever feast rituals there are to the lama. If you desire to engender physical strength, exert diligence in acquiring vitality through longevity practice and through a qualified woman.

"Give up concentrating on this life and practice the absolute. Contemplate the proximity of death and cultivate the attitude of needing nothing at all. Direct your mind to what is transcendent and make the Three Jewels your sublime refuge. This will cause the qualities to arise from within; realization will manifest, and, if meaningful, the energy of compassion will arise. Insofar as someone is connected with you, whatever you touch will become meaningful.

"Until that is the case, apply yourself enthusiastically in seclusion. If you do that, then whatever you do for the welfare of yourself and others will ultimately be achieved and you will become a glorious guide of beings. These are my personal instructions. Hold every one of them in your heart, Princess."

"Oh, Orgyen Rinpoche! Please tell me about the times and the spread or decline of the doctrine in terms of human activities at the end of the teachings of my final life."
