Four doors of secret mantra practice (Tib. གསངས་སྔགས་ཀྱི་སྒོ་བཞི་, Wyl. gsangs sngags kyi sgo bzhi):
- The door of recitation, for genuine visualization.
- The door of secret mantra, for invoking the wisdom mind.
- The door of samadhi, for focusing one-pointedly.
- The door of ritual mudras, for conveying symbolic meaning.
Alternatively:-
- The verbal gate of utterance is to remind of the ultimate.
