Through Zer-nga, or Five Principal Points, a practitioner can bring about the reintegration of the material level into the wisdom level. Zer-nga is a method of working with the five elements one by one in order to realize them in their natural condition. Helps us to:
As Rinpoche says, "It is considered as part of a secondary practice of Tregchöd. If you are really interested in Thödgal, you should, to some degree, be a master of these things. Otherwise it will not work. It will remain theoretical. With this general idea of the principle behind this method, you should now know why Zer-nga is considered to be very important at all levels. It also helps you to overcome your attachment to the physical body, increase your clarity, and refresh your practice if it has become stale."
