Right portal - 3rd eye
Five holy signals - Five sacred words - oo thai fo mila
The holy hand seal
According to Dao / Tao philosophy, one must know of the right portal to go to at the time of death. This portal is the 3rd eye from which one travels. The two eyes are the two robbers that rob us of the true knowledge. The right path is the portal of the 3rd eye which shows the truth. When meditating, keep the tongue on the roof of the mouth - the palate.
When one reaches the door of the heaven, he / she is stopped by the gatekeeper and asked for the five sounds / words. If one forgets these five words then he /she can't enter the heaven. These sounds are a secret that must never be spoken in front of a person who is not initiated and mustn't be spoken aloud as the devils can hear these words and can then enter the heaven. One must also know the holy hand signal.
Here is the info about the 3rd treasure - holy hand seal. The blog below is talking about nurturing love as the meaning of the hand seal but its more than that. Hand seal mentions something 12 of life and 13th being the God. The thumb of the right hand is kept at the base of the ring finger which is the end and the thumb of the left hand hold the base of the little finger which is the new beginning, while the four fingers of the left and cover the right hand. The counting is bit weird. All four points of the little finger and the index finger are counted but for the ring finger, the middle finger and the thumb only the tip is counted. Dao suggests to its followers to make the holy hand seal in case of a natural disaster and recite the five words while focusing on the 3rd eye and assured that by doing this no harm will come to the person concerned.

I am interested in this stuff as I see the similarity. When we read gurbani, it talks of the Panch Shabad Tit Ghar Sabhage, Kala jit ghar dhariya - five sounds.
Guru Nanak's story tells of him stopping while counting as he reached number 13 and said Tera.
Offcourse, it advices to close the worldly eyes and open the 3rd eye.
But what's the deal with doing the hand seal physically, I don't understand.
