I believe I originally encountered this document sometime in 2012 or 2014. It was uploaded to Scribd.

I have no
idea who the practitioner in the photos is. The translation itself is sourced from Tony Duff’s Highest Wisdom. I
have slightly edited and formatted the text, but the photos themselves are retained.
If the key points of the support, the body, are not tuned, the key
points of the channels will remain untuned, and if the key points of
the channels remain untuned, the key points of both wind and rigpa
will remain untuned, and if they remain untuned, luminosity will
not become evident. Therefore, this “key points of body” should be
highly cherished; the Strings of Pearls says,

“The key points of the body are of three types.


One is to take up the positions
Like the lion, and like the elephant and ṛiṣhi.”
The nirmāṇakāya posture, which is like a ṛiṣhi, is as follows. The
body sitting up equalizes the channels and winds. Placing the soles
of the feet on the ground suppresses the energy of water. Holding
the spine straight moves wind-mind into dharmatā. Joining the
knees to the chest makes the fire wind blaze into wisdom. With-
drawing the mobile feet so that they are merely thought of then
positioning them towards the back cuts the stream of thought.
With the arms crossed like a lattice, if the knees are covered by the
hands, disease of overheating is dispelled, or, from there, if the arm-
pits are touched, disease of coldness is dispelled. With the two
elbows placed on top of the knees, if the fingers are balled into fists
which are then used support the throat, hot and cold will be equal-
ized.

These postures should not be held very tightly and with constriction
but with each part of the posture done in a relaxed way; this is a very
important key point that prevents obstructors from starting up.
The saṃbhogakāya posture, which is like an elephant lying down,
is as follows. Joining the knees to the chest develops bliss-warmth
and expands the element. Planting the two elbows on the ground
equalizes the male and female winds into neutrality. Supporting the
chin with the palms stops coarse winds. The toes of the feet pushed
away from the body brings sinking and agitation into balance.
Of the three types shown there, the dharmakāya posture, which is
like a lion, is as follows. Sitting up dignified and magnificent, with
the two soles of the feet joined in front suppresses the movement-
causing winds. Holding the trunk of the body straight causes the
winds to move in an easy fashion. The head’s energy of being
drawn into the neck provides a strong force for stopping discursive
thought. Balling the fingers of each hand inwards and planting
them in the middle of the space created by the joined two soles of
the feet makes the elements come into balance. The All-Knowing
One said,

“One person maintains that the soles of the feet


having been planted on the ground, the palms of the
hands are planted on the ground to the right and left
of the body sitting up but it seems that this does not
quite get to what is intended.”
“The dharmakāya posture of the lion
Will free you from all confusion’s fears then
You will see with the vajra eye.
For the saṃbhogakāya posture:
Through the elephant lying down
The dharmatā becomes usable in fact and
You will see with the lotus eye.
For the nirmāṇakāya posture:
Through the sitting ṛiṣhi
Dharmatā self-manifests into appearance and
You will see with the dharma eye.”
