It is the sign of total realization in Dzogchen, also known as body. The accomplished Dzogchen practitioner, who is no longer deluded by substantial appearances or dualisms, such as that of mind and matter, releases the energy of the elements that make up the physical body at the moment of death. The body itself dissolves, leaving only hair and nails, and the practitioner enters the dying process consciously.
