He in turn transmitted these practices to his students, particulary to [[Jetsun Milarepa]]. The six doctrines are: the practice of inner heat ([[gtum mo]]), the illusory body ([[sgyu lus]]), the dream state ([[rmi lam]]), the clear light or luminosity ([['od gsal]]), the ejection of consciousness ([['pho ba]]), and the intermediate states [[bar do]].<br>
