T
ṅes 'byuṅ;definition=Renunciation. This term is defined in Tibetan as "what protects the mind,following disgust at ''saṃsāra''." It is not a slight feeling or emotion,but a strong revulsion from the ills of ''saṃsāra''. Further,such fierce revulsion,coupled with clearly seeing the faults of ''saṃsāric'' existence,combine to lead one to true renunciation,said to be the first essential requisite for following the Buddhist path. +
kLu-sgrub;Nāgārjuna +
yab sras;yab sras;definition=Literally,"Father and Son," by which is meant,in these contexts,the pair of the guru and his disciple. +
rDo-rje-phreṅ-ba;Vajramālā;The ''Vajramālā'' is an important explanatory tantra on the view and methods associated with the ''Guhyasamāja'' tantric cycle. +
rDo-rje-'jigs-byed;Vajrabhairava +
Kha che;definition=The Tibetan name for Kashmir. +
rig 'dzin;vidyādhara;Literally, a "holder of knowledge," ''vidyādharas'' are said to possess arcane and magical knowledge. Because such beings are able to assume different manifestations at their will, they are also said to be "deathless" or indestructible. Chökyi Dorje, of these namtar, is famed as one who, owing to his successful Mahāmudrā practice, attained to the state of "a deathless ''vidyādhara''." +
ṅes pa'i don;nītartha;The direct, final, or "definitive" meaning. Used of texts that directly reveal their true meaning as stated. +

thabs;upaya;Skillful means. Insight (''prajñā'') in action. In tantric iconography, ''upāya'' is represented by the male deity. He is active compassion. His partner, the female deity consort, represents highest insight. Thus, the symbol of complete and perfected enlightenment is shown to be the perfect "union" of these two. +
zuṅ Jug;yuganaddha;Throughout these translations, this term is rendered "total integration." A common rendering is "union," as between any number of standard technical pairs, such as the "illusory body and the clear light";but the sense is that the two no longer remain two separate entities. "Total integration" is the fifth and final division of "Completion Stage" practice. Yogically, its practice involves continued mastery in forcing the consciousness-bearing "energy winds" (''prāṇa'') into the central channel (''avadhūti'') of the arcane body generated by the practicing adept. Its accomplishment is the simultaneous experience of bliss and voidness. +
bla na med rgyud;mahānuttara-tantra +
za ma tog;karaṇḍa;In ordinary speech, this term means "basker," "carrier," or "receptacle." It sometimes also refers to the human body. In the namtar of Chökyi Dorje, however, the term is used in a mystic sense. Here it is but a prop, a form taken on by the ''siddha'' so that he might teach others. Having achieved the "rainbow body" through his practice of Mahāmudrā, he merely assumes the appearance of having a physical body so that he can communicate the teachings. +
'dul ba;Vinaya;That portion of the Buddhist Tripiṭaka that deals with monastic discipline and Buddhist ethics in general. +
