rgyud;continuum;continuum;The Tibetan word ''rgyud'' was used to translate the two Sanskrit words ''tantra'' and ''saṃtāna'', which are not synonyms in Sanskrit. The word ''tantra'' is primarily used for certain scriptures, systems of practice, and so forth. The word ''saṃtāna'' is used to mean "continuum," in the sense of the stream of being, mindstream, or continuum that constitutes a living being. In Tibetan, the word ''rgyud'' was used for both meanings. In this book ''continuum'' means the continuity, or continuum, of a living being. Furthermore, the terms ''root continuum (rtsa rgyud)'' and ''explanatory continuum (bshad rgyud)'' have an additional resonance in Tibetan because of the dual meaning of the Tibetan word ''rgyud''. In the context of its meaning as "tantra" or "tantric scripture," a root tantra such as the ''Hevajra Tantra'' is clarified by other scriptures referred to as ''explanatory tantras'', such as the ''Vajrapañjara'' and the ''Sampuṭa''.  +
