On the path of desire (''chags-lam'') or skilful means (''thabs-lam''), the practice of inner heat (''gtum-mo'') is activated, giving rise to the experience of blissful warmth in the body (''bde-drod''). The melting bliss then descending through the central channei from the crown centre, gives rise to the pristine cognition of delight (''dga'-ba'i ye-shes'') and the vase empowerment is received through which this delight is united with emptiness (''stong-pa''); in the throat centre it gives rise to the pristine cognition of supreme delight (''mchog-dga'i ye-shes'') and the secret empowerment is received through which this supreme delight is united with great emptiness (''stong-pa chen-po''); then in the heart centre it gives rise to the pristine cognition that is free from delight (''dga'-bral ye-shes'') and the empowerment of discriminating pristine cognition is received through which this absence of delight is united with extreme emptiness (''shin-tu stongpa''); then in the navel centre it gives rise to the pristine cognition of co-emergent delight (''lhan-skyes dga'i ye-shes'') and the empowerment of word and meaning is received through which this co-emergent delight is united with total emptiness (''thams-cad stong-pa''); and fmally, after the four delights have been thus realised, in the secret centre it gives rise to the inconceivable pristine cognition (''bsam-gyis mi-khyab-pa'i ye-shes'') and the skilful empowerment of awareness is received.
