Additional explanation based on Geshe-la’s answers to questions:
We can use this in daily practice to attain Dakini Land without abandoning this body, but we can also use it at the of death as powa practice.
Our contaminated human body is the substantial cause of the deathless body.
If someone wants to take this practice as a daily practice, they can. You can also do this if your main practice is Heruka practice. You can choose your daily practice.
If doing 4 session retreat, 1 session should be QPTGB, then the other sessions should be the uncommon yoga of inconceivability. However if there’s not enough time, instead of QPTGB, you can do the middling or short sadhana, Dakini Yoga, or The Blissful Path.

We have now completed the festival teachings. I hope you enjoyed them.
I believe you received benefit. All these teachings even though I am reading them are my own teachings that I have prepared for you. If you put these teachings into practice you will fulfil my wishes. And because you need Dharma, I will try to fulfil your wishes. There are many benefactors, but pure Dharma benefactors are rare.
Through my deep faith, the wisdom being Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka enters me and abides inseparably in my mind at my heart, and transforms my mind into the supreme good heart of bodhichitta. This makes my actions pure, and all my activities successful. So I can be an emanation of my Guru. In this way you can also be my emanation. Anyone can be an emanation. Buddhas are spreading Dharma, and we are also spreading Dharma. So we are emanations of Buddha. When wisdom being leaves our heart, we will not receive special blessings. Our mind will be impure and our actions will be impure. Our spiritual practice will be unsuccessful and we will experience problems. We should apply effort to become an emanation of JT. I am doing Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s job. He spent his life spreading Kadam Dharma. He was an emanation of Lama Tsongkhapa. Now I am doing his job.
I must maintain a good heart because I am a member of a bodhisattva family.
Our Guru’s wish is that every living being has the opportunity to opportunity to become happy all the time and solve their problems permanently through practising Kadam Dharma.
Portugal:
So we have this opportunity. Everyone has this because Dharma is a teaching for everyone. Dharma centres don’t belong to a particular person. They belong to people. Anyone can join, without discrimination.
I always remain with you. Dying is just this physical body. In reality this body is not my body, I belongs to my parents. It gets sick, it dies, I have deep knowledge of this. The body that I normally see does not exist, I have deep knowledge of this. I am always with you. You should never forget me. If you keep the connection it will work very well. In reality I have not died, I will be in every Dharma centre every day I will be looking everyday, OK? I am not lying, it is the truth. Take care, and you should be your own spiritual guide. I am always with you. Please do not forget me from your side. I will never forget you.
