Academic and intellectual understanding alone cannot incorporate the view, meditation, and action of dzokchen.
This is because the view, meditation, and action of dzokchen can only be understood through the superior meditation of the buddhas.
The superior meditation of the buddhas belongs to the sphere of their self-cognizing wisdom and not to the dry words of learned individuals.
Thus, since it is said that the meaning of the tantras is seen through omniscience, those who explain such tantras as the Guhyagarbha, Hevajra, or Chakrasanbhvara should themselves have attained the level of a noble one.
Having understood the view, meditation, and action of the tantras through the unconditioned knowledge of their self-cognizing wisdom, they are able to teach it to others.
Even individuals who have perfected all the ten branches of knowledge cannot understand the tantras through the words alone.
Since there is no difference between the subject matter of the tantras and the naked mind of the Buddha and since the tantras are bound by the six limits and the four ways, when investigating them, one must use one's own self-cognizing wisdom. Otherwise there is no benefit.
