The nine actions of the three doors are mentioned in the Dzogchen teachings. They are all outer, inner, and secret activities of body, speech, and mind.
- Three concern the body: (1) outwardly, all worldly, distracting activities, (2) inwardly, all ordinary virtuous deeds such as prostrations and circumambulations, and (3) secretly, all unnecessary movements that scatter one‘s practice.
- Three concern speech: (1) outwardly, all worldly, deluded conversations, (2) inwardly, all liturgies and recitations, and (3) secretly, any talking whatsoever.
- Three concern the mind: (1) outwardly, all worldly, deluded thoughts, (2) inwardly, all mental activity focused on visualizations of the development and the completion stages, and (3) secretly, all movements of the mind.
