All the components of our existence, the skandhas, elements, and so forth of the world and of all beings, are, in their pure aspects, a pure realm consisting of the five male and female buddhas and so forth; so, when perceiving things as they are, there is not even a speck of impurity to find anywhere. This is the basic view of the Anuttara Tantra of the New Schools and the Three Inner Tantras of the Old School. For more information see Longchen Rabjam's ''phyogs bcu mun sel'', recently translated by Gyurme Dorje. +
