In this text, one finds the six dharmas of Tilopa (ཏི་ལི་ཆོས་དྲུག་), which are fundamental techniques for meditation to cultivate single-pointed concentration and nonconceptuality. These six features of meditation are captured by the following verse: :མི་མནོ་མི་བསམ་མི་དཔྱོད་ཅིང་།<br>མི་བསྒོམ་མི་སེམས་རང་བབས་གཞག ། :Do not reflect, think, or analyze,<br>Do not ponder or meditate, but let it be in the natural state. In the state of meditation particularly to still all mentation and conceptual construction, one should not reflect on the past, not think of the future, or analyze the current object. One must not contrive to meditate, or be occupied with present matters.
