Explaining the function of these two approaches, Lochen Dharmaśrī writes, "The development stage purifies [the idea that] the environment and its inhabitants are real entities with their own characteristics, while the completion stage purifies the subtle clinging that can occur while meditating that these are all illusory, as is the case in development stage practice." [SD 325] As Khenpo Ngaga points out, all the various categories of Tantra relate to this twofold approach. He explains, "In the Vajrayāna, there are three inner divisions - the three inner tantras. The Father Tantra emphasizes the skillful methods of the development stage and the completion stage of the subtle energies. In the Mother Tantra, the completion stage associated with the subtle essences is emphasized, in which case one relies either upon the body of another or one's own body. The Nondual Tantra stresses the view of the path of liberation alone. In actuality, however, all of these are included within the two stages of development and completion."
