The two aspects of instruction in the Great Perfection pith-instructional class (man ngag sde): (1) The practice of Kadak Trekchö, "Cutting Through to Primordial Purity" (ka dag khregs chod). Through this practice, the wisdom aspect, one cuts through the stream of delusion, the thoughts of past, present, and future, by revealing a naked awareness devoid of dualistic fixation. To recognize this view through applying the precious instructions of one's lama and sustain it uninterruptedly throughout all aspects of life is the very essence of the Great Perfection; and (2) the practice of Trekchö forms the basis for the second aspect of Great Perfection instruction, the skillful means aspect, that of Ösel Tögal, "Direct Crossing to Luminosity" ('od gsal thod rgal), also known as Lhündrup Tögal, "Direct Crossing to Spontaneous Presence" (lhun grub thod rgal). Through the discipline of Tögal, which is more a fruition than a practice, the practitioner actualizes all the different aspects of enlightenment within a single lifetime. He or she uses specific and exceptionally powerful physical and visual exercises to incite four specific visionary experiences. Both Trekchö and Tögal require the direct guidance of a qualified master. +
