See "Words of my Perfect Teacher" - "Prostrations - the Antidote to Pride"
https://books.google.de/books?redir_esc ... de&f=false

And in particular footnote 250 "There are three kinds of prostration:
(1) encountering the view [...]
(2) training in meditation [...], and
(3) devotional prostration [...]
Ideally one should incorporate the view of the first type of prostration and the visualization of the second and one practices the third"
Ho! All the possible appearances and existences of samsara and nirvana have the same source, yet two paths and two results arise as the magical display of awareness and unawareness.
