The building phase refers to the gradual process of creation, while the fulfillment phase leads to the dissolution of visualization until the mind rests in its natural state in the inseparability of bliss and emptiness. It is a journey from the imagined goal to direct experience.

His experience as a meditation instructor in the Dzogchen Community further enriches the value of this translation.
