T
Basic emotions that can be developed into catalysts for generating the mind aimed at enlightenment (''bodhicitta''). They are love, compassion, joy, and mental equanimity. +
Refers to the practice of sexual union in tantric yoga. +
The "intrinsic identifiability" of anything. The ordinary mind compartmentalizes its experience into objects appearing as independent entities. The inherent lack of identity in persons and things constitutes voidness, which is their true mode of existence. +
Transhistorical buddha who is the source of the Kagyu lineage and teachings. +
Intercession with buddhas and bodhisattvas on behalf of all beings, aimed at providing for their welfare, both spiritual and temporal. "Supplication" denotes both the prayer and the mental resolution to aid beings, the latter replacing action (''karma'') and afflictive mental states in creating the rebirth and supernormal abilities of a bodhisattva. +
Symbol of the indestructible and indivisible reality represented variously as a scepter, a diamond, or a thunderbolt. +
The active expression of the mind-for-enlightenment (''bodhicitta''). It is the complement of transcendent wisdom that balances its intense revelations and what the bodhisattva uses to relate to beings, skillfully turning each situation into an opportunity for advancement for all.< +
The process of detailed examination of the meditation object as to its actual mode of existence. It involves thought and is aimed at penetrating the conceptual process. It results in receptivity to the direct perception of voidness. +
The systematic quieting of mental activity through practice of one-pointed concentration. It is the means of attaining the eight absorption levels and the prerequisite for proper practice of analytic insight. +
The inner heat developed by one type of tantric yoga. +
Samsaric enemies to liberation; they are one's psychophysical constituents, afflictive mental states, death, and external obstructions. +
The distinct, meta-stable states of mental operation attained through the quieting of mental functioning by one-pointed concentration. Attainment of the eight successively more quiescent absorption levels-the first four comprising the form realm and the second four the formless realm-involves the suppression of thought and disturbing mental functions. Their duration depends on the force of the process of suppression. They are states common to all yoga and are entirely samsaric in nature. +
The imagined self or identity of persons (personal ego) and things (phenomenal ego), which are inherently lacking any independent identity. +
