It means 'meditation' in the special sense of mental production or thought-creation, corres- ponding with the emanative process of meditation discussed below (see utpattikrama). One may observe that 'being' (bhava) and 'meditation' (bhāvanā) are in essence identical. The first, which just 'is', is normally regarded in a falsified condition by ordinary men as a result of original accidental defilement (āgantukamald). The second is a deliberate pro- duction of 'being' in an idealized form, of which the maṇḍala is the complete expression, and by means of this deliberate production the true nature of 'being' itself is spontaneously realized.

Through identifica- tion of terminology it may also mean the bodhicitta in its relative aspect; thus it may be known as the white bindu, being paired with 'blood', which by analogy is called the red bindu.
