These eight gates manifesting as outward luminosity are described as follows.  The eight gates of [[spontaneous presence]], which are the ''self-display'' of awareness rising from the ground, manifest from the stirring of wisdom wind, breaking the seal of the youthful vase body, the original ground space of [[primordial purity]] ([[ka dag]]).  At this moment the dharmakaya ([[chos sku]]) manifestation of [[primordial purity]] appear above, like a cloudless sky, and the luminous [[sambhogakaya]] realms fill the vast expanse of sky straight ahead.  From this expression, the great ground-manifestation appear below and from ''its'' expression below appear [sambhagakaya]] manifestations, the manifestation of [[nirmanakaya]] realms in the cardinal and intermediate directions.  Further below, from the gate of [[samsara]] appear infinite self-manifest realms of the [[six-classes of being]]s.  All of this appears naturally from the manifestation of the eight gates of [[spontaneous presence]], and thus this great display as [[samsara and nirvana]] manifest simultaneously.  Thus is this taught. ([[JOKYAB]])
 
As, or when this inner luminosity appears as outward luminosity, the manifestation of essence is unobstructedly self-luminous, the manifestation of nature is primordially radiant as [[five lights]], and the manifestation of compassion is self-manifest from its innate quality of openness, like a cloudless sky. ([[JOKYAB]])
 
The eight gates of the manifestation modes are described in the ''Tantra of the Great Graceful Auspiciousness'':  "Unobstructed space manifests as compassion, unobstructed appearance manifests as [[five lights]], unobstructed enjoyment manifests as wisdom, unobstructed view manifests as nonduality, unobstructed means manifests as liberation from extremes, the perfected entrance gate of pure wisdom, and unobstructed impure capacity like a precious wish-fulfilling jewel".  The eminent ''Jamdrak Rinpoche'' described these as being identical with the [[eight collections of consciousnesses]].  ([[JOKYAB]])
