Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary + (stong nyid rnying rje;Emptiness and Compas … stong nyid rnying rje;Emptiness and Compassion;emptiness and compassion;These two factors are considered the basis for development stage practice. In his commentary on Jigme Lingpa's ''Treasury of Precious Qualities'', Khenpo Yönga echoes this point: "Emptiness and compassion are like pillars that support the teachings. As such, they are absolutely indispensable, whether one is practicing Sūtra or Mantra. In these dark times, most tantric practitioners don't understand this point. In their version of 'the path of Mantra' emptiness and compassion are superfluous. Consequently, they meditate on the deity with a self-centered attitude. In doing things like mantra recitation, they only benefit themselves. Not only that, their anger drives them to use powerful and malicious mantras towards others. This arrogant behavior is actually a distortion of the Mantra teachings, though, a teaching for demons!" "Knowing this," Yonga continues, "realized masters of the past stressed the importance of these two factors, particularly in the context of explaining the texts of the Mantra tradition. They taught over and over again that these two are of vital importance for those who engage in the main practices of development and completion. As this is the case, we would do well not to forget it ... Hence, all beginners who have begun practicing mantra in our tradition should take this to heart." [NO 4, 2]tion should take this to heart."

Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Buddhist Philosophy of the Middle/Glossary + (stong pa nyid;Emptiness;emptiness;Śūnyatā; … stong pa nyid;Emptiness;emptiness;Śūnyatā;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'')
