Four doors of secret mantra practice (Tib. གསངས་སྔགས་ཀྱི་སྒོ་བཞི་, sang ngak kyi go shyi, Wyl. gsangs sngags kyi sgo bzhi):
- The door of recitation, for genuine visualization
- The door of secret mantra, for invoking the wisdom mind
- The door of samadhi, for focusing one-pointedly
- The door of ritual mudras, for conveying symbolic meaning
Alternatively:
- The verbal gate of utterance is to remind of the ultimate.
- The mental gate of samadhi is to keep one-pointed focus.
