: Khyentse Vision: Succinct Notes on the Eight Sessions Mind TrainingThe Natural Elements refers to one of the topics for mind-training (in Tibetan: lojong) forming part of the Eight Sessions Mind Training.鈥擟f. the 鈥�Succinct Notes on the Eight Sessions Mind Training鈥濃�攁n instructional text on mind training (lojong) in the form of notes based on teachings given by K枚nchok Tenpa Rabgye (1801鈥�1866)鈥攐ne of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo鈥檚 masters from the Geluk tradition.鈥擜ccordingly, [Mind Training Pertaining to the Natural Elements]: Imagine that the flesh, bones, and other parts of your body constituting the inner element of earth dissolve into the external element of earth. Likewise, your blood, serum, and other body fluids dissolve into the external water element; your body heat and so on dissolve into the external fire element; and your breath and so on dissolve into the wind element. Then contemplate the thought that this body of yours, now transformed into the four natural elements, serves as a basis of sustenance for all sentient beings. From time to time, send beings whatever they may desire from multiple emanations of your body, equal to them in number; at other times, send desirable things directly emanating from your body alone. Sometimes, transform your body into things such as food, clothing, a home, or a ship, and give them away to whomever needs them to use in whatever way they please. In this way, play with whatever you conjure up with your imagination.
