  3. satisfaction of the wisdom beings as a result of the refined essence of nectar,
  4. satisfaction of the deities of the body mandala as a result of the pure awareness of bliss and emptiness,

Notes

  1. Based on Gönpo Tseten Rinpoche, The Udumbara Bouquet, where the list is attributed to Jikmé Lingpa. A similar but slightly different list appears in Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö's Yeshe Saldrön.
