།ཇི་བཞིན་ཡང་དག་མཐོང་བའི་ཕྱིར།
།སྐྱེ་སོགས་རྣམས་ལས་འདས་གྱུར་ཀྱང་།
།སྙིང་རྗེའི་བདག་ཉིད་སྐྱེ་བ་དང་།

Dege, PHI, 114
Due to their character of compassion,
They display birth, death, aging, and sickness,
[But] they are beyond birth and so on
Because they see [the basic element] as it really is.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 379 [2]
Comme ils voient tel quel et correctement,
Ils dépassent la naissance et ses suites,
Mais comme ils incarnent la compassion,
Ils se montrent naissants, malades, vieux et morts.

ātman - Though it can simply be used as the expression "I" or "me", in Indian thought the notion of self refers to a permanent, unchanging entity, such as that which passes from life to life in the case of people, or the innate essence (svabhāva) of phenomena. Skt. आत्मन् Tib. བདག་ Ch. 我,灵魂

dhātu - A fundamental component or essential constituent. Skt. धातु Tib. ཁམས་ Ch. 界

Uttaratantra - The Ultimate Continuum, or Gyü Lama, is often used as a short title in the Tibetan tradition for the key source text of buddha-nature teachings called the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra. Skt. उत्तरतन्त्र Tib. རྒྱུད་བླ་མ་ Ch. 寶性論

These are the root verses of the Uttaratantra attributed to Maitreya by the Tibetan tradition.
