In particular, she has a white panacea or ‘all-in-one’ mark on her left armpit. Her body and lotus are delicious-smelling, her voice is gentle and pleasant. She speaks honestly and doesn’t breathe even a word of the profound doctrine of Secret Mantra in the direction of (unqualified) others. She is intelligent, wise and full of great compassion. In particular, she feels devotion towards and has faith in the accomplished masters and doctrine of the Secret Mantra.
