It has been claimed by the texts of Highest Yoga Tantra that the path
recommended in them can take one to the ultimate state of union (great

considered a 鈥榙egenerate era' (snyigs dus) for it is characterized by strife
and violence. The ultimate state of union is characterized by the seven
features. The seven features are: complete enjoyment, embracing each
other, great bliss, emptiness of inherent existence, compassion,
uninterrupted continuum and non-cessation. This state of union is
attainable by the Highest Yoga Tantric practice.
Before listening to Dharma teachings it is very important to set up a
proper motivation-especially for the study and practice of Greater
Vehicle Buddhism and particularly for Tantra such as this. In the present
context a proper motivation means an altruistic motivation. This
motivation will be discussed now.
The purpose for listening to this tantric teaching is to practise it as
sincerely as possible in order to attain enlightenment, to fulfil the wishes
of all sentient beings to remove their sufferings completely and to give
genuine, lasting happiness. This kind
kind
of motivation is extremely
important. If both listener and teacher have such a motivation, that would
be most excellent, and the practice would become effective accordingly.
Conversely, if one lacked in such an altruistic attitude practice would not
be of much benefit even if the teachings were of the Greater Vehicle, or
within that Tantric Vehicle or within that even Highest Yoga Tantra.160
