thos pa'i bag chags;ཐོས་པའི་བག་ཆགས་;latent tendencies for listening;latent tendencies for listening;shrutavāsanā;The Compendium of the Mahāyāna (section 46) states that the latent tendencies for listening are the cause of the dharmakāya or supramundane mind. The Oral Teaching of the Great Lotsāwa (19) remarks that "the latent tendencies for listening" is a term used for the pure state of the ālaya and that they are the substantial cause for the dharmakāya attained by bodhisattvas. In his Commentary on "The Ornament of Clear Realization," Mikyö Dorje (211) states that the latent tendencies for listening are also called undefiled seeds (zag med so bon), which are deposited within the ālaya wisdom. He (213) explains: "The latent tendencies for listening are what enable us to listen to the buddhas'speech (with its twelve branches). They are the potential (nus pa) of undefiled cognition, which engages by virtue of dharmatā. This quality (cha) of capacity is given the name "latent tendencies for listening, which rely upon awakening."" For more of Mikyö Dorje's explanations, see Brunnhölzl 2010, 185–86 and 431–33.
