By Living Buddha Sheng-yen Lu
Translated by Janny Chow

Fifth Day: November 29, 1992

Introduction

       Master, fellow cultivators, good afternoon!
       Today is the fifth day of the Complete and Detailed Exposition on the True Buddha Tantric Dharma. Before I start, I would like to take some time to discuss two important stages in the practice of Tantric: Generation Stage practice and Completion Stage practice. In general, people who are of average faculties start with the Generation Stage practice. The completion Stage practice is taken up by people who are great Bodhisattvas and of superior faculties. The average practitioners start with the foundation practice pf the Generation Stage.
