'dzag pa;འཛག་པ་;outflows;outflows;Karma Tinle (108.6–109.4) explains: "To identify the "outflows" that are explained as being outflows of body and mind: . . . [We must understand] from what [state] do we outflow, what are outflows, and how outflows occur. First, it is from the uncontrived basic state of body and mind that we outflow [or deviate]. Second, outflows are the divisions of the lesser elements, which we say are "like this and that." Third, outflows occur by generating and increasing saṃsāra. The outflows of body refer to the releasing of the bodhichitta dhātus. The outflows of mind refer to the obscuring of the essence of our own [mind] and taking [things] to be other [than mind], which occur because of an instantaneous shift from abiding naturally settled [in the nature of mind]. +
