chos dbyings ye shes;Wisdom of the Basic Space of Phenomena;wisdom of the basic space of phenomena;Quoting the ''Sūtra of the Levels of Buddhahood'', Jigme Lingpa explains, "The wisdom of the basic space of phenomena can be exemplified by all the forms space can take. Although space is present in these forms, by its very nature there is nothing that can be said about it;it is not manifold, but of a single taste. In the same way, though the wisdom of the basic space of phenomena is present in everything that can be known, it is ineffable. And since it isn't manifold, it is of one taste." [YT 431] +

sgrub pa bka' brgyad;Eight Great Sādhana Teachings;eight great sādhana teachings;Mahāyoga is traditionally divided into two groups, the Collected Tantras, which includes the ''Guhyagarbha Tantra'', and the Collected Sādhanas. The latter division contains the Eight Great Sādhana Teachings, which comprise the ritual practices and instructions associated with eight divinities - five transcendent deities and three mundane deities. The five wisdom deities are Mañjuśrī Yamāntaka (enlightened form), Padma Hayagrīva (enlightened speech), Viśuddha (enlightened mind), Vajramṛta Mahottara (enlightened qualities), and Vajrakīlaya (enlightened activity). The three classes of worldly divinities are Mātaraḥ (liberating sorcery), Lokastotrapūja (mundane praises), and Vajramantrabhīru (wrathful mantra). [NS 283] These teachings have been maintained and practiced in both the Transmitted Teachings and the treasure tradition. In the former, the primary source is a cycle titled the ''Fortress and Precipice of the Eight Teachings: The Distilled Realization of the Four Wise Men''. There are a great many related teachings in the treasure tradition, the most important, however, are found in the revelations of Nyang Ral Nyima Özer, Guru Chöwang, and Rigdzin Gödem. [WC 777] +

shu nya ta'i sngags;Svabhāva Mantra;oṃ svabhāva śuddhaḥ sarvadharmāḥ svabhāva haṃ;This mantra is commonly used at the outset of development stage practice to dissolve all phenomena into emptiness (prior to developing the visualization). Tsele Natsok Rangdröl explains, "One begins the development stage with purifying into emptiness by means of the svabhāva mantra. This mantra is meant to remind the practitioner of the essence of emptiness, the original natural state of all phenomena ... It is precisely the natural expression of this emptiness, the magical display of its unceasing cognizant quality, that emanates and manifests in the form of a celestial palace and various types of deities."

nges don;Definitive Meaning;definitive meaning;To specific disciples it is taught that the profound nature of all phenomena is emptiness, free from arising, cessation, and every other form of conceptual projection, and that the actual condition and nature of things is one of luminosity, beyond anything that can be thought or put into words. The definitive meaning is this nature, as well as the scriptures that teach it and their related commentaries. [TD 655] +
