Franklin Merrell-Wolff continues his discourse on the Tri-Kaya by reviewing the two approaches to the understanding of the Tri-Kaya presented in The Voice of the Silence and The Tibetan Book of the Dead. He suggests that the apparent incompatibilities may be due to one sutra being oriented to an advanced yogin who is able to reach the vestibule of Nirvana during their lifetime, while the other to all creatures who at the moment of death are not only given an opportunity to attain the Dharmakaya, but to realize the Tri-Kaya. Wolff then outlines the difficulties encountered by the aspirant in accepting the Clear Light of Pure Consciousness offered at the moment of death and concludes by affirming that if the attitude of love and compassion has been established in the consciousness of the pilgrim, it can be done.
