The three kinds of prostration (Wyl. phyag 'tshal ba'i nges pa gsum) are:
- The supreme prostration of encountering through the View (rab lta ba brda 'jal ba'i phyag)
- The middling prostration of training in meditation ('bring bsgom pa goms pa'i phyag)
- The lesser prostration out of devotion and respect (tha ma mos gus ya rabs kyi phyag)[1]
