[This has two parts, of which (the first), concerning meditation on bliss and emptiness, (comments on Ch. 13.9):]
Through the (-yis) supremely secret display of (rol-mo) the pristine cognition (ye-shes) of bliss (bde-ba'i) and emptiness which is obtained when the essential seminal points (snying-po thig-le) of the white and red pure-essences of the male and female consorts intermingle and are united (mnyam-sbyor-bas) at the tip of the vajra and of the lotus, offerings are made to the deities who have been invited into the maṇḍala of the secret centre. Then, when these are Inducted upwards by the vital energy, offerings (mchod-pa) of non-dual bliss and emptiness are made ('bu1) in the energy channels of the four centres and throughout the body to (la) the naturally abiding maṇḍala of the buddhas and to one's own mind-as-such which have become exceedingly Joyous (dgyes) in that most blissful pristine cognition (ye-shes).
