A neutral base consciousness that is posited as the storehouse for the seeds of past karmic actions in which they remain in a latent state until the circumstances arise for them to ripen as karmic consequences. +
Literally, the state of possessing a self. It is usually used to denote something which is endowed with a certain innate, or natural, attribute. +

Literally, that which obscures or conceals. Often listed as a set of two obscurations (''sgrib gnyis''): the afflictive emotional obscurations (Skt. ''kleśāvaraṇa'', Tib. ''nyon mongs pa'i sgrib pa'') and the cognitive obscurations (Skt. ''jñeyāvaraṇa'', Tib. ''shes bya'i sgrib pa''). By removing the first, one becomes free of suffering, and by removing the second, one becomes omniscient. +
