Generally speaking, the sphere of the profound qualities of elimination and realization, the inconceivable secret of the body, speech, and mind of an enlightened being, is beyond the grasp even of bodhisattvas who directly behold the truth of the dharmata on the noble path.

It is said on the basis of trustworthy report that when at Karmo Taktsang, Mipham Rinpoche was absorbed in the concentration of boundless love, and when he reflected on the sufferings of beings in the hell realms, he fell into such a state of grief that he could not eat and he would say that he needed to relax his mind [by meditating] on the empty nature of the dharmata. At Lab Dzutrul Puk, when he was absorbed in the approach phase of the practice of White Manjushri according to the Mati tradition, he would concentrate on the garland of the mantra turning at such speed that the entire environment would seem to him to be revolving like a chariot wheel. The rough perception of ordinary appearance would cease and he would pass his time in a state of concentration as described in the texts. When this happened, he would say that it was “probably just through the blessings of his teacher.”
