gloss-def: a being in whom the thought of enlightenment has arisen, one who has formed the intention to strive for complete enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. After practicing the Dharma for countless lifetimes, a perfected Bodhisattva is reborn in the world to demon- strate the way to enlightenment by becoming a Buddha. The Bodhisattvayāna is the vehicle of the Bodhisattva. Beginning with the generation of the mind dedicated to enlightenment, the Bodhisattva develops compassion and wisdom, the perfect knowledge of śūnyatā, the emptiness of all existence. He practices the six pāramitās which begin as ordinary virtues (giving, morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom) and culminate in perfect transcendent action. From within the six, four further pāramitās arise: skillful means, vows, power, and primordial wisdom. The Bodhisattvayāna has ten stages, the first beginning with entry into the Path of Seeing: the Joyous, the Immacu- late, the Light-giving, the Radiant, the Invincible, the Realizing, the Far-reaching, the Immovable, the Beneficial, and the Cloud of Dharma.

gloss-def: these come under the two general headings of rNying-ma (the ancient ones) and gSar-ma (the new ones). The rNying-ma maintain the lineages that were carried to Tibet during the early transmission of the Dharma from the 7th through the 9th centuries. These lineages were established in Tibet by the great masters Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra, Sāntarakṣita, and Vairotsana, and were supported by texts translated at that time by outstanding paṇḍitas and lotsāwas. This early transmission was furthered by the patronage of the great Dharma Kings Srong-btsan sgam-po, Khri-srong lde'u- btsan, and Ral-pa-can. rNying-ma-pas maintain a complete Sūtra and Mantra tradition, and recog- nize nine different vehicles for realization. Principal types of transmission are bka'-ma and gter-ma. Practices are based on both outer and inner Tantras, with practice of the inner Tantras being a distinguishing characteristic of the rNying-ma school. There is an emphasis on the balance of study and practice as a foundation for the higher practices which lead to complete realization. The gSar-ma is the general heading of all the Tibetan schools of Buddhism which developed after the 10th century. The bKa'-gdams was the first of the gsar-ma, or new, schools, and was based on the teachings of Atīśa (lOth-llth century), the great Buddhist teacher from Vikramaśīla who spent thirteen years in Tibet. Three lineages branched from Atīśa's teaching, carried by three of Atīśa's disciples; Khu-ston Shes-rab brtson- 'grus, rNgog, and 'Brom-ston, who established the structure of the bKa'-gdams school. The bKa'-gdams-pa teachings were continued by Po-to-pa Rin-chen gsal (11th century) and Blo-gros grags-pa. The bKa'-gdams-pa were noted for the rigor of their Vinaya practice and for the study of Prajñāpāramitā and Mādhyamika śāstras. Their teachings were later assimilated by other schools, especially by the bKa'-rgyud and dGe-lugs schools. The bKa'-rgyud school was founded by Marpa (lOth-llth century), the great yogi …

gloss-def: advanced teachings which offer many skillful means for obtaining liberation rapidly. Although in some systems the Tantras are considered to fall into only four categories, the Kriyā, Caryā, Yoga, and Anuttarayoga, the rNying-mas accept three outer and three inner Tantras. The three outer Tantras are the Kriyā, Caryā, and the Yoga Tantras. The Kriyā Tantras emphasize purification of body and speech through ritual and cleansing activities, establishing a relationship between the deity and the practitioner similar to the relationship of master and servant. Realization can be gained within sixteen human lifetimes. The Caryā Tantras place emphasis on purification of body and speech through ritual and meditation, establishing a relationship between the deity and the practitioner similar to that between brothers or friends. Realization can be gained within seven human lifetimes. The Yoga Tantras have two divisions: outer Yoga Tantra (Upayoga) which emphasizes meditation on nonduality and the practice of the four seals (Mahāmudrā, Dharmamudrā, Samāyamudrā, and Karmamudrā); and inner Yoga Tantra (Anuttarayoga). The Anuttarayoga Tantras are themselves divided into three sections: Father, Mother, and Non-dual. The Father Tantras are concerned with the Developing Stage, and the Mother Tantras are concerned with the Perfecting Stage. Father Tantra may be related to Mahāyoga, Mother Tantra to Anuyoga, and Nondual Tantra to Atiyoga. Realization can be gained within three human lives. The inner Tantras include the Mahāyoga, Anuyoga, and Ātiyoga Tantras. The Mahāyoga Tantras are based on the sGyu section of the bKa'-ma; important texts are the root text (Guhyamūlagarbhatantra) and eighteen Mahāyoga tantras. Em- phasis is on visionary meditative experience. The Anuyoga Tantras are based on the mDo section of the bKa'-ma. The root text is the Gongs-pa 'dus-pa; important texts include the five Anuyogasūtras. Emphasis is on the unity of appearances and openness. The Ātiyoga Tantras are …

These include the kha-byang, the gter-byang, the yang-byang, the snying-byang and the lung-byang. These are lists of books to be found in certain locations, precise descriptions of places where the gter will be found, lists of gter which have been hidden twice, and various other predictions concerning the hidden treasures. Padmasambhava pre- dicted three grand gter-stons, eight great gter-stons, twenty-one powerful gter- stons, one hundred and eight intermediate gter-stons, and one thousand lesser gter-stons. The gter-ma lineage preserves very pure and undistorted teachings especially necessary in the present era, the Kali Yuga.

Rig-'dzin rgod-ldem 'phru-can (14th century) was editor and compiler of gter known as the Northern Treasures.

The Sambhogakāya, the pure enjoyment aspect of the Dhyānibuddhas, also represents the aspect of communication. The Nirmāṇakāya forms are embodiments taken by Buddhas among earthly beings in order to clarify the way to enlightenment. The Sambhogakāya and the Nirmāṇakāya are sometimes known together as the Rūpakāya (Tib. gZugs-sku), lit.

gloss-def: lit. 'Hearer'; one who listens to the teachings of the Buddha, realizes the suffering inherent in saṃsāra, and focuses on understanding that there is no independent self. By conquering emotionality, he liberates himself, attaining first the stage of Stream Enterer at the Path of Seeing, followed by the stage of Once-Returner who will be reborn only one more time, and the stage of Non-returner who will no longer be reborn into saṃsāra. The final goal is to become an Arhat. The vehicle of the Srāvaka is known as the Srāvakayāna.
