Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/In Praise of Tara/Glossary + (a teacher, in certain instructional or ritual functions such as advising a translator or giving ordination (see also Preceptor).)
Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Buddhist Philosophy of the Middle/Glossary + (a term expressing the ultimate nature (''d … a term expressing the ultimate nature (''dharmatā'', Tib. ''chos nyid'') of all things (Skt. ''dharma'', Tib. ''chos''), conditioned (Skt. ''saṃskṛta''. Tib. '' 'dus byas'') and unconditioned (Skt. ''asamskṛta'', Tib. '' 'dus ma byas''), as being Empty of self-existence (Skt. ''svabhāva'', Tib. ''rang bzhin, rang gi ngo bo nyid'', i.e., aseity, hypostatized/reified existence, substantial existence). The term is an equivalent of absence of self-existence (Skt. ''niḥsvabhāvatā'') and non-substantiality (Skt. ''nairātmya'', literally "Selflessness"), and (in some degree) of other terms for the ultimately real. Emptiness is closely linked with origination/production in dependence (Skt. ''pratītyasamutpāda'') and the fact that things are produced in dependence (Skt. ''pratītyasamutpanna'') on causes and conditions (Skt. ''hetu-pratyaya''), such conditionship being in fact stated to be the ground or reason for their being Empty of self-existence. It is important to note that ''śūnyatā'' is itself stated to be Empty of self-existence. —''Śūnyatā'' is so to speak a dynamic enabling principle rather than a static and hypostatized (or reified) thing. See W 70: "All things obtain for him for whom this ''śūnyatā'' obtains; nothing at all obtains for him for whom ''śūnyatā'' does not obtain" (''prabhavati ca Sunyateyam yasya prabhavanti tasya sarvārthāḥ/prabhavati na tasya kiṃcin na prabhavati Sunyatdyasya''//) (Skt. ''pra-bhū-'' is here rendered by Tib. ''srid pa'')-, MMK xxiv.14: "All fits for him for whom ''śūnyatā'' fits; all does not fit for him for whom the Empty does not fit" (''sarvaṃ ca yujyate tasya śūnyatā yasyayujyate/ sarvarṃ na yujyate tasya iunyamyasya na yujyate//)'' (Skt. ''yujyate'' is here translated by Tib. ''rung ba'', and Skt. ''śūnyaṃ'' by Tib. ''stong pa nyid'' "Emptiness"); and MMK xxiv. 3 6: "In rejecting ''śūnyatā'' that is production in dependence you reject all worldly practices" (''sarvavyavahārāṃś ca laukikān pratibādhase/yat pratītyasamutpādaśaunyatāṃ pratibādhase''//). N.B. The term ''śūnyatā'' is usually to be distinguished from the word ''śūnyatā'', the state or quality of being Empty; cf. D. Seyfort Ruegg, ''The literature of the Madhyamaka school'', pp. 3n8 and 45n113. (In certain textual passages, e.g., ''MMK'' xxiv. 14d, ''śūnya'' appears to stand for ''śūnyatā'', and Tib. renders by ''stong pa nyid'') See Skt. ''śūnyatā''., Tib. ''stong pa nyid'' Skt. ''śūnyatā''., Tib. ''stong pa nyid'')
