Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Profound Inner Principles/Glossary + (Illumination (snang ba, āloka), radiance ( … Illumination (snang ba, āloka), radiance (mched pa, ābhāsa), and imminent attainment (nyer bar thob pa, upalabdhaka). These terms are discussed most relevantly to The Profound Inner Principles' presentation in ryadeva's Lamp That Summarizes Conduct and the Vajra Wisdom Compendium Tantra. As both those texts state, these terms are used in the Vajrayāna as synonyms for mind, mentation, and consciousness. Jamgön Kongtrul explains (TOK, 2:690–91) this relationship as follows: "In essence, all three illuminations are of the nature of the ālaya consciousness. Nevertheless, illumination serves as the cause that produces the mental consciousness and the sense consciousnesses. Radiance acts as the cause that produces afflictive mentation. Thus [illumination and radiance] are considered to be, respectively, those [consciousnesses]. Attainment, from the point of view of the isolate of attainment, simply has the characteristics of the ālaya consciousness itself; and, while it indirectly produces [the other consciousnesses], it does not serve to directly produce those seven consciousnesses. Thus, it is only considered to be the ālaya [consciousness]. Therefore, the three illuminations are taught to be mind, mentation, and consciousness." See Kongtrul 2005, 252–70; and Kongtrul 2008, 209–11, where these are translated as "light," "increase," and "culmination." See also Wedemeyer 2007, 95–102 and 215–21, where these are translated as "luminance," "radiance," and "imminence." Note that the collective term, three illuminations, is also translated as "three appearances," "three lights," or "three luminances."s," "three lights," or "three luminances.")
