kun 'dar ma;ཀུན་འདར་མ་;avadhūti;Often simply transliterated in Tibetan;when translated, it is either kun 'dar ma ("all-shaking," "all-vibrating," "all-encompassing," possibly "ascetic") or kun spang ma ("all-abandoning," possibly "renunciant"). Ngo-tro Rabjampa (194.6) explains: "It is called avadhūti because it is the path that abandons the two extremes. . . . It is "all-shaking" because it is [where] the white elements fall." An Encyclopædic Tibetan-English Dictionary (27) defines it (my own translation): "The madhyamā channel of the body is called "all-shaking": "All" because it is the ground that divides into all the [other] channels, the place where the bindus flow, and the path where the winds move. "Shaking" because it pervades all those generally." Germano (1992, 828) says: "While the term "all-encompassing channel" (''Kun 'Dar Ma'') is often understood as the Tibetan translation of this Sanskrit term [avadhūti], there appears to be some question as to [the] original linguistic source of Kun 'Dar Ma (or at least the syllable 'Dar), and in Great Perfection writings it would appear there is a distinction between how these two terms are used, though whether a distinct reference is entailed is debatable. Padmasambhava in KGNT1 60, 3ff [mKha' 'gro snying thig] details three aspects to the term "central channel": the Avadhūti channel which is the spinal cord, the all-encompassing channel which is the vitality channel, and the ultimate central channel which is the luminous channel. . . ." +
