So this evening, Guru Grantham Rinpoche will be giving a teaching which was discussed during the main part of the Vajrayogini teaching itself, when it was described that there's two ways of showing the nature of ultimate reality, the nature of one's own mind, and that these are actually by, first of all, showing through an indirect method, and also through showing a direct method. So the indirect method was shown the other day at the time of It was described, a method was described on how to realize the nature of mind through various practices. And this evening, Ramakrita will be giving a teaching, short teaching, which is known as the direct method of revealing the ultimate reality or the Dhamma-dhāt. Or in other words, also actually it's just an introduction to the true nature of one's own mind, to showing the nature of one's mind. This actually is just to show that with the front creation or a mandala, actually on the table in front of Ramachandra, there's a small mandala plate, a flat mandala plate, you can see it, made out of silver there.

So that's actually, that is what is taught, that's what's going to be taught this evening. So in order to do this, first of all, there is the mandala, making the mandala offering in order to request the teaching, and then in order to request the teaching itself. come to understand the true nature of your own mind or to understand the Mahamudra, or the ultimate realization of ultimate reality, nature of one's own mind, first of all
