As for "oral instruction", there are many kinds: urging beginners to the Dharma; giving extensive instructions with words; giving profound instruction in the meaning; instructing in practice condensed to key points; and giving the pointing-out instruction in this manner of placing something directly in the palm of one's hand.

"Just like a huge rope lying soaked in a lake can slowly be pulled up once you get a hold of one end, the enlightenment of all the buddhas is placed in the palm of the hand of the practitioner when receiving pointing-out instruction from a qualified master and can then slowly be "pulled-in" through diligent training."
