Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Buddhist Philosophy of the Middle/Glossary + (Often rendered relative "truth" or convent … Often rendered relative "truth" or conventional "truth," even though this is not a truth in the strict sense of the property of a proposition, etc.; but the translation of ''satya = bden pa'' by Reality is itself somewhat conventional and does not resolve all the philosophical issues involved. In Madhyamaka thought, ''saṃvṛtisatya'' is reality in a limited way only; see Candrakīrti, MABh vi.23, 28 and PPMVxxiv. 11. Cf. D. Seyfort Ruegg, ''Two prolegomena'', pp. 187n52 and 194n65. It is, then, only in a restricted, and even problematic, sense that it is possible to speak of a ''two''-truth—or even of a ''two''-reality—theory in Madhyamaka (as distinct from a two-level theory). In the purified cognitive sight of ''āryas'', ''saṃvṛtisatya'' is presented, i.e., apprehended, as ''saṃvṛti[mātra] = kun rdzob [tsam]'', mere Surface. Cf. ''Two prolegomena'', pp. 194ff. In Madhyamaka, the theory of Surface-level Reality has the effect of "saving appearances/the phenomena" (sôzein ta phainomena, ''salvare phaenomena''). Cf. transactional-pragmatic. See Skt. ''saṃvṛtisatya'', Tib. ''kun rdzob kyi bden pa''; compare Tib. ''snang stong''yi bden pa''; compare Tib. ''snang stong'')
Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Profound Inner Principles/Glossary + (Often simply transliterated in Tibetan; wh … Often simply transliterated in Tibetan; when translated, it is either kun 'dar ma ("all-shaking," "all-vibrating," "all-encompassing," possibly "ascetic") or kun spang ma ("all-abandoning," possibly "renunciant"). Ngo-tro Rabjampa (194.6) explains: "It is called avadhūti because it is the path that abandons the two extremes. . . . It is "all-shaking" because it is [where] the white elements fall." An Encyclopædic Tibetan-English Dictionary (27) defines it (my own translation): "The madhyamā channel of the body is called "all-shaking": "All" because it is the ground that divides into all the [other] channels, the place where the bindus flow, and the path where the winds move. "Shaking" because it pervades all those generally." Germano (1992, 828) says: "While the term "all-encompassing channel" (''Kun 'Dar Ma'') is often understood as the Tibetan translation of this Sanskrit term [avadhūti], there appears to be some question as to [the] original linguistic source of Kun 'Dar Ma (or at least the syllable 'Dar), and in Great Perfection writings it would appear there is a distinction between how these two terms are used, though whether a distinct reference is entailed is debatable. Padmasambhava in KGNT1 60, 3ff [mKha' 'gro snying thig] details three aspects to the term "central channel": the Avadhūti channel which is the spinal cord, the all-encompassing channel which is the vitality channel, and the ultimate central channel which is the luminous channel. . . ."nnel which is the luminous channel. . . .")
