Each of the four truths, or realities, has four general characteristics, or aspects. The four aspects of the reality of suffering are that it is suffering (sdug bsngal), impermanent (mi rtag pa), empty (stong pa), and without self-entity (bdag med pa). The four aspects of the reality of the origins of suffering are that they are the origins of suffering (kun 'byung ba), strong producers (rab tu skye ba), causes (rgyu), and conditions (rkyen). The four aspects of the reality of cessation are that it is cessation ('gog pa), peace (zhi ba), perfection (gya nom pa), and definite release (nges par 'byung ba). The four aspects of the reality of the path are that it is a path (lam), suitable (rigs pa), effective (sgrub pa), and what brings definite release [from saṃsāra] (nges par 'byin ba).

Jamgön Kongtrul (1995, 161–62) says: "One time-junction [lagna] is defined as the time it takes the planets to transit a single house." Externally, a lagna takes place when the sun enters a constellation of the zodiac, and, internally, when the winds move from one set of twelve house channels at the navel to another. One lagna consists of 1,800 wind movements (breaths), or five minor saṃkrāntis, and is approximately equivalent to two hours. Also translated as "ascendant," "ascendant conjunction," "rising sign," and "time-conjunctions." See Kongtrul 1995, 159–62; and Kongtrul 2012, 347. +
Jamgön Kongtrul (TOK, 2:426) describes this type of dependent origination as referring to the fact that "all outer and inner phenomena emanate from the ālaya consciousness." In his Compendium of the Mahāyāna (C.T. 76:15), Asaṅga says, "All phenomena arise in dependence upon the ālaya. This is [what is meant by] the differentiation of the nature [into phenomena]." See also Kongtrul 2012, 586–87. +
