In the stage of completion, the posture is characterised by the seven qualities of Vairocana, the breath is left alone, and without intentionally bringing anything to mind, the mind is placed steadily in single-pointedness. That is the initial placement without distraction. Once you are accustomed to that, then whatever thoughts arise, recognise them and focus just on their nature. That is intermediate placement without structure. Wherever dependent consciousness goes, to all objects and subjects, leave it in equality, and rest in that. That is the final letting go. In case of laxity, stay in a cool place and elevate your gaze. In case of excitation, stay in a warm place and lower your gaze.

-- Avalokitesvara
