nang rgyud gsum;Three Inner Tantras;three inner tantras;In the textual tradition of the Nyingma School, the three inner tantras comprise the final three of this tradition's nine vehicles. They are listed as the tantras of Mahāyoga, the scriptures of Anuyoga, and the key instructions of Atiyoga. [TD 1505] These three divisions are also associated with the practices of development, completion, and Great Perfection. As Dilgo Khyentse explains, "Development and Mahāyoga are like the basis for all the teachings, completion and Anuyoga are like the path of all the teachings, and the Great Perfection of Atiyoga is like the result of all the teachings."

[JL 233] In ''Notes on the Development Stage'', Tenpe Nyima equates these nine traits with, respectively: 1) the purification of pride, 2) the purification of anger, 3) the purification of desire, 4) the purification of envy, 5) the purification of stupidity, 6) the elimination of ignorance, 7) the unfolding of wisdom, 8) the complete presence of the marks and signs of enlightenment, and 9) superior qualities. "The first five," he writes, "are essential qualities, while the latter four are qualities related to [particular] attributes." [KR 43] +

phro 'du'i gzer;Stake of Projection and Absorption;stake of projection and absorption;One of the four stakes that bind the life-force;Tenpe Nyima explains, "Concerning the stake of projection and absorption, while recognizing that the universe and its inhabitants are, by nature, deity, mantra, and wisdom, emanate an inconceivable number of light rays from the deity's form and the mantra chain. Ultimately, this will result in the supreme spiritual accomplishment - the accomplishment of the twofold benefit. On a temporal level, it will accomplish the four kinds of enlightened activiry. White light, for example, will carry out peaceful activiry;yellow light, enriching activity;and so on. It will also bring, among other things, the eight mundane spiritual accomplishments." [KR 57] +
