gloss-def: According to the doctrine of action and result, one's present experience is a product of previous actions and volitions, and future conditions depend on what we do in the present. Actions may be classified in three ways: (1) wholesome-tending toward higher realms of saṃsāra, or in the presence of an enlightened attitude, toward liberation; (2) unwholesome-tending to perpetuate confusion and pain; and (3) neutral. Karma originates from the false belief in an ego, which prompts a chain reaction of seeking to protect territory and maintain security. Virtuous action can lead to better states, but the chain reaction process itself can only be cut and transcended by insight and discipline. Karma is precise down to the minute details of body, mind, and environment. There is a "group karma" of families and nations, as well as individual karma.

On different yānas, the landscape of the journey, the nature of the practitioner, and the mode of transportation are seen differently. There is a distinctive outlook, practice, action, and fruition in each yāna. Presenting a particular yāna depends on the evolutionary readiness of the student and the accomplishment of the teacher. In vajrayāna teachings there are three yānas-hīnayāna, mahāyāna, and vajrayāna. They can be practiced simultaneously. Sometimes "one yāna" is spoken of, referring to this simultaneous practice, and to the fact that no matter what the teachings, the student must make a gradual journey from confusion to enlightenment. According to the Rime (ecumenical) and the Nyingma traditions, there are a total of nine yānas: śrāvakayāna and pratyekabuddhayāna (together comprising hīnayāna), mahāyāna, and six tantric yānaskriyā, upa (caryā), yoga, mahāyoga, anuyoga, and atiyoga.

gloss-def: Mantra is explained in the tantras as that which protects the cohesiveness of the vajra mind. It is a means of transforming energy through sound, expressed by speech, breathing, and movement. Mantra is always done in conjunction with visualization and mudrā, according to the prescriptions of a sādhana transmitted by one's guru. Mantras are Sanskrit words or syllables. They express the quintessence of various energies, whether or not the mantra has conceptual content. From the view of fruition, the practitioner should recognize all sound as mantra, all appearance as the deity's presence, and all thoughts as wisdom.

The dharmakāya (T: chos-kyi-sku; body of dharma) is enlightenment itself, wisdom beyond any reference point-unoriginated, primordial mind, devoid of content. The rūpakāya (T: gzugs-kyi-sku; form body) consisting of the other two kāyas of sambhogakāya (T: longs-spyod-rdzogs-sku; enjoyment body) and nirmaṇakāya (T: sprul-pa'i-sku; emanation body) is the means of communication to others. The sambhogakāya is the environment of compassion and communication. Iconographically, its splendor is represented by the five buddhas, yidams, and dharmapālas. The nirmaṇakāya is the buddha that actually takes form as a human, who eats, sleeps, and shares his life with his students. In the mahāyāna tradition, this usually refers to Śākyamuni. In the vajrayāna, the root guru's body, speech, and mind are regarded as the trikāya.

Outer (material) offerings of anything desirable in the world are given as expressions of gratitude, appreciation, and nonattachment. Inner offering is giving up the attachment to one's body. Secret offering is surrendering the ego reinforcement that we derive from dualistic emotions. The "fourth" offering is recognizing the inseparability of offerer, offering, and the recipient in things as they are. All the above offerings are referred to as "faith offerings" (T: dad-zas) and are made out of devotion to a guru or a deity. Other types of offerings are made for the benefit of others.

gloss-def: The earliest literary evidence of vajrayāna surfaced in India around the middle centuries of the first millenium. Since this yāna consists of oral instructions and secret teachings, which would only have been given privately to a few of the most advanced students, or even to a master's single dharma heir, it is difficult to know how far back in history the tradition goes. Professor H. V. Guenther dates Śrī Siṃha, a great master of the ati lineage, at 52 A.D. It is quite likely that the availability of literary evidence really marks a second or third stage in the spreading of vajrayāna. From great masters like Śrī Siṃha or Saraha, who lived in solitary circumstances and had only a few disciples, vajrayāna entered the monastic framework, and from there, masters began to systematize it and make the teachings more accessible to a wider range of students. In general, vajrayāna instruction is of two kinds: instruction meant to be understood the moment that it is shown, for giñed students capable of instantaneous enlightenment; and instruction by graded stages of practice, for those who come gradually to enlightenment. From India and Central Asia, vajrayāna spread to Tibet, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Although anuttarayoga tantra was taught in China, it was not widely practiced and does not survive today. The japanese Shingon ("true word," i.e., mantrayāna) school, transmitted by Kobo Daishi, includes teachings of the lower tantras but not those of anuttaratantra. It is said that Śākyamuni manifested as Vajradhara in order to teach vajrayāna. The tantras do not tend to present a dialogue between wakefulness and confusion, as in the sl1tras. Rather, vajrayāna presents the actuality of fruition.

gloss-def: The mahāyāna schools appeared in literary form several hundred years after the Buddha's death, although traditionally the transmission lineage goes back to Śākyamuni himself, who is said to have first presented mahāyāna teachings on Vulture Peak mountain near Rājagṛha to a celestial assembly. Going beyond the somewhat nihilistic emptiness of the hīnayāna schools and the preoccupation with individual liberation, the greater vehicle presents greater vision based on śūnyatā, compassion, and the acknowledgment of universal buddha nature. It introduced the ideal of the bodhisattva, who lives in the world to deliver sentient beings, while dwelling neither in the struggle of saṃsāra nor in a quietistic nirvāṇa. Socially, the mahāyāna expanded the buddhadharma beyond the monastic communities to the lay population.

gloss-def: The meditative transmission handed down especially by the Kagyü school, from Vajradhara Buddha to Tilopa up to the present lineage holders. In this state, all experiences are transformed into transcendental knowledge and skillful means. From the primordial intelligence and energy that arise, there comes great luminosity, so that the vividness pf experience becomes the display of the maṇḍala. According to the ''Cakrasaṃvara Tantra'': ''phyag'' is the wisdom of emptiness, ''rgya'' is freedom from saṃsāra, and ''chenpo'' is their indivisibility; therefore, it is called chagyachenpo (S: mahāmudrā). Or, as Saraha declared, Having no shape or colour, being all-encompassing, Unchanging, and stretching across the whole of time.

In this state, all experiences are transformed into transcendental knowledge and skillful means. From the primordial intelligence and energy that arise, there comes great luminosity, so that the vividness pf experience becomes the display of the maṇḍala. According to the ''Cakrasaṃvara Tantra'': ''phyag'' is the wisdom of emptiness, ''rgya'' is freedom from saṃsāra, and ''chenpo'' is their indivisibility;therefore, it is called chagyachenpo (S: mahāmudrā). Or, as Saraha declared, Having no shape or colour, being all-encompassing, Unchanging, and stretching across the whole of time.

gloss-def: According to the yogic teachings of the path of upāya, one way of attaining realization is to synchronize body and mind. This is done by meditating on nāḍī, prāṇa, and bindu in the illusory body. By analogy. prāṇa is like a horse, mind-consciousness like the rider, and nāḍīs are like the pathways. The bindu is mind's nourishment. Because of lasping into duality, the prāṇa functions in the left and right channels, lalanā and rasanā, corresponding to the activities of subject and object and to karmic activity. Through practice, the prāṇas can be brought back into the central channel (S: avadhūti), and therefore transformed into wisdom-prāṇa, and mind can recognize its fundamental nature, realizing all dharmas as unborn. This belongs to advanced practice and can only be learned through direct oral transmission from an accomplished guru. When the meditator is well-established in the fundamental nature of mind, he meditates with this directly, having dissolved nāḍī, prāṇa, and bindu into sampannakrama. This is known as the attainment of vajra body. speech, and mind. These stages of meditation technically belong to the category of "sampannakrama with signs and without signs."

gloss-def: One of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The Nyingmas adhere to the original ("old") form of vajrayāna Buddhism brought to Tibet in the eighth century by Padmākara (Padmasambhava) and others. This lineage stems from the primordial Buddha Samantabhadra, through Vajrasattva, to the human gurus Garap Dorje (b. 55 A.D.), Mañjuśrīmitra, Śrī Siṃha (b. 289), and jñānasūtra, and from them to Vimalamitra and Padmākara, who had twenty-five major Tibetan disciples including his consort Yeshe Tsogyal, King Trisong Detsün, and Vairocana the translator. The system of nine yānas originates from the Nyingma tradition. In addition to the four tantric yānas of the New Translation tradition- kriyā, upa or caryā, yoga, and anuttara-they subdivide anuttara tantra into mahāyoga, anu, and ati yoga yānas. These all stem from the perspective of ati tantra (T: rdzogs-chen; great perfection). The anuttara yoga tantra, the highest tantra of the New Translation school, can be considered the culmination of path tantra and the gateway to the fruition tantra perspective of mahāyoga. From the time of Karma Pakshi and Rangjung Dorje (Karmapas II and III), Kagyü masters have practiced the ati teachings in addition to those of mahāmudrā.

gloss-def: Tantra may refer to many different kinds of texts. For instance, there are medical tantras, astrological tantras, and so on. More specifically, tantra refers to the root texts of the vajrayāna and to the systems of meditation they describe. Tantras, similar to sūtras, are attributed to Śākyamuni, who sometimes manifests as Vajradhara, Vajrasattva, and so on. The "four orders of tantra" refer to the four yānas: kriyā, upa (caryā), yoga, and anuttara. Tantra means continuity, and refers to continuity throughout the ground, path, and fruition of the journey. Continuity of ground means that the basic nature, whether it is called suchness, ground mahāmudrā, or tathāgatagarbha, remains like the sky, encompassing everything from sentient beings to buddhas-luminous and untainted by habitual patterns. Although never departing from its own nature, it gives birth to infinite possibilities. Thus, it is the basis for the arising of the skandhas and in general, impure saṃsāra. It is also the cause for the trikāya of buddhahood. For the practitioner, it means that body, speech, and mind, in all their confused and wakeful manifestations, are included in the path. Path tantra means applying profound techniques to overcome basic ego. Because the skillful means are based on the ground perspective, they are profound and progress in stages from dealing with the crude experience of beginners up to the complete realization of Vajradhara. Fruition tantra means finally realizing who and what you are. You realize your being as one with the body, speech, and mind of the tathāgatas. That is, you realize the ground that was there continuously from the beginning.

gloss-def: Generally, upāya conveys the sense that enlightened beings teach the dharma skillfully, taking into consideration the various needs, abilities, and shortcomings of their students. Upāya is an expression of compassion. In the bodhisattva's discipline, it corresponds to the first five pāramitās and to relative bodhicitta. By prajñā alone, without upāya, the bodhisattva is fettered to a quietistic nirvāṇa. By upāya without prajñā, one remains bound to saṃsāra. Therefore the practitioner must unify them. In vajrayāna, upāya arises from śūnyatā. It is joined with prajñā and represents the male, form aspect of the union of form and emptiness.

gloss-def: Thevajrayāna principle of commitment, whereby the disciple's total experience is bound to the path. When the vajra master performs abhiṣeka, the disciple's being is bound together with the master and the deities of the maṇḍala. The disciple becomes irrevocably committed to regard his master as an embodiment of enlightenment, and to retain sacred outlook in all his experience. During the abhiṣeka ceremony, the disciple formally takes the samāyā oath. However, in some sense, the samāyā principle becomes active as soon as master and student establish a vajrayāna relationship. The samāyā vow is experiential and can be violated in a moment of thought. As Atīśa said, "keeping samāyā is like keeping a mirror polished-as soon as you have cleared it, dust begins to alight." The most important samāyā is a proper attitude toward one's root guru. Besides that, the principal points are maintaining the essence of hīnayāna and mahāyāna discipline, and extending sacred outlook throughout one's experience. ''See also'' root downfalls, fourteen.

gloss-def: According to the buddhadharma, theistic and mystical experiences of all kinds still fall within saṃsāra, as long as they confirm the experiencer or solidify his experience, even in the most subtle way. Buddhist norms of experience are: universal impermanence, existence as suffering, ego less ness , and peace as absence of struggle to attain or maintain anything. According to the hīnayāna tradition, enlightenment (also S: nirvāṇa; extinguished) means the cessation of ignorance and of conflicting emotions, and therefore freedom from the compulsive re- birth in saṃsāra. Its degrees of attainment were graded by the four levels: stream enterer (S: srotāpanna), once-returner (S: sakṛdāgāmin), nonreturner (S: anāgāmin), and arhat. According to mahāyāna tradition, hīnayāna nirvāṇa is a way station, like an illusory city in the desert created by the Buddha to encourage travelers. Enlightenment requires not only cessation of ignorance but also compassion and skillful means to work with the bewilderment of all sentient beings. The arhat does not attain complete enlightenment because of his underdeveloped compassion. According to vajrayāna tradition, hīnayāna and mahāyāna attainment are necessary, but they contain dogma. It is necessary for the yogin to develop complete partnership with the phenomenal world and to experience a more penetrating unmasking of the root of ego. In presenting the final fruition, the vajrayāna teaches either four or six tantric yānas. The term nirvāṇa can have the utmost positive sense when referring to enlightenment; or it can have a limiting or pejorative sense when referring to a limited goal of cessation.

gloss-def: In the early texts, one who attains liberation from saṃsāra without the benefit of a teacher and does not teach others. In the Tibetan tradition, the pratyekabuddha became a symbol of a certain stage of enlightenment. He concentrates on individual liberation through examining the twelvefold chain of dependent co-origination, pratītyasamutpāda. It is also the name of the second of the nine yānas. Regarded positively, he is worthy of veneration as among the awakened ones. Regarded negatively, his spiritual arrogance and fear of saṃsāra prevent him from completely developing skillful means and compassion. Hence, his enlightenment is only partial.

On the path of accumulation, the meditator brings his being to the dharma by practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, and through insight (S: vipaśyanā; T: lhag-mthong), understanding what to cultivate and what to refrain from. The practitioner begins to transcend any notion of external savior and is able to cut the causes of rebirth in the lower realms. On the path of unification, the meditator expands his vipaśyanā investigation of saṃsāra by developing a profound understanding of the four noble truths. He is able to cut the root of the desire realm (S: kāmadhātu). On the path of seeing, the meditator accepts and understands the real significance of the four noble truths. ''See''ing the unsatisfactory nature of even the god realms of form (S: rūpadhātu), he begins to transcend them, entering the first level of attainment (S: bhūmi) of the bodhisattva. On the path of meditation, the meditator practices and remains in the insight of the path of seeing. He attains to the second bhūmi onwards. On the path of fulfillment or no more learning, the meditator attains vajra-like samādhi, entering the eleventh bhūmi-buddhahood. Other important descriptions of the path include the exposition of the bodhisattva bhūmis or stages, and the four yogas of mahāmudrā.

gloss-def: A state of total involvement in which the mind rests unwaveringly, and the content of the meditation and the meditator's mind are one. There are many different kinds of samādhi, depending on whether the meditation is developed with a certain mental image, a principle such as compassion, or with the mind itself as the object of meditation, for example. Samādhi refers to the principle of absorption in meditation, but does not specify the degree of insight (vipaśyanā, prajñā) that is present. Thus, it could refer to a conditioned state of concentration in the six realms in which the sense faculties are halted, or to an unconditioned, flowing, and unobstructed experience.

gloss-def: A doctrine emphasized in mahāyāna, which stresses that all conceptual frameworks, including the dharma system of the hlnayanists, are empty of any "reality." As a realization, it grows out of the awakening of prajñā. First, at the hīnayāna stage, one's personal existence is seen through. Subsequently, the experience to which one clings is also dissolved through awareness. This is the realization of egolessness of self and a portion of egolessness of dharmas. At the mahāyāna level, through prajñā and compassion, the practice of the pāramitās, the practitioner cuts through the remaining subtle watcher. In vajrayāna, śūnyatā is equivalent to the feminine principle-unborn, unceasing, like space.

gloss-def: The vajrayāna practitioner's personal deity, who embodies the practitioner's awakened nature. Yidam is explained as a contraction of yid-kyi-dam-tshig, samāyā of mind. Yidams are sambhogakāya buddhas, which are visualized in accordance with the psychological makeup of the practitioner. The student first develops intense devotion toward his gru. This relationship makes it possible for the student to experience intuitive kinship with the lineage and then with his yidam. Identifying with the yidam means identifying with his characteristic expression of buddha nature, free of distortions. Through seeing his basic nature in this universalized way, all aspects of it are transmuted into the wisdom of the spiritual path. This leads directly to compassionate action-skillful and lucid. Peaceful yidams inspire the student's gentleness, awakening openness. Semiwrathful yidams are the union of passion and anger in the transcendental sense-simultaneous magnetizing and destroying as an expression of the awakened state. Wrathful yidams are associated with the dynamic energy of "vajra anger," the primordial compassion that cuts through hesitations of idiot compassion and disbelieving in one's buddha nature. The male yidam (peaceful: bhagavat; semiwrathful: ḍāka; semiwrathful and wrathful: heruka) signifies awakened energy, skillful means, and bliss. The female yidam (peaceful: bhagavatī; semiwrathful and wrathful: ḍākinī) signifies compassion, emptiness, and prajñā. This emptiness is fundamental accommodation and ultimate fertility. Through union with the heruka, the ḍākinī can give birth to enlightenment.

gloss-def: There are several traditional enumerations, the most common of which is the six practices of the mahāyāna path: dāna (T: sbyin-pa; generosity), śīla (T: tshul-khrims; discipline), kṣaṇti (f: bzod-pa; patience), vīrya (T: btson-' grus; exertion), dhyāna (T: bsam-gtan; meditation), and prajñā (T: shes-rab; knowledge). They are called "transcendent" or "gone to the other shore" actions because they carry us across the river of saṃsāra and because they are based on prajñā, therefore acknowledging the bodhisattva's realization of twofold egolessness. For this reason, they transcend karmic entanglements of conventional conceptualized virtue.

gloss-def: Someone who is the incarnation, manifesting the spiritual qualities of a previous enlightened teacher. From mahāyāna teachings, power over the circumstances of rebirth is said to be one of the attainments of the bodhisattva on the eighth bhami, providing the doctrinal foundation for the tülku phenomenon. Karma Pakshi (Karmapa II) was the first recognized Tibetan tülku. A realized person transfers his spiritual energy to the karmic stream of another advanced but not enlightened person. This person is reborn as the tülku of that teacher. He has great potential, but it needs to be brought out by training. This is the most common type of tülku, known as "blessed" tülku. This process reflects basic egolessness. In some cases, the energy of a previous teacher is divided into three or five incarnations. For instance, five tülkus of Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye were recognized-of his body, speech, mind, quality, and action. Even in the case of ordinary people, their karmic stream has no ego at its core. Therefore, it is incorrect to think of successive "re-" incarnations of the "same person, ' , except insofar as the tendency to ignorance (the definition of ego) is reincarnated in the same karmic stream (S: santāna).

gloss-def: A term for enlightened masters in the tantric tradition. Siddha has the connotation of one who, besides being realized on the absolute level, is in tune with the magical possibilities of the phenomenal world. The eighty-four mahāsiddhas were a group of Indian yogins important to the Kagyü lineage in that they were the source of the vajrayāna that was brought to Tibet. Some were kings, some prostitutes, some wine-sellers, some humble tradesmen, some monks, some especially lazy. All were distinguished by their style of transforming unconventional circumstances into the path of realization. Tilopa, Nāropa, and Maitrlpa are among the eighty-four mahāsiddhas. "Mahāsiddha" has also come to refer generally to an accomplished or enlightened being.

gloss-def: There are two classes of obscurations or veils-kleśāvaraṇa and jñeyāvaraṇa (conflicting emotions and primitive beliefs about reality). The first stems from belief in "me" and "mine" and the resulting emotional reactions. The second obscuration stems from more subtle conceptualization, and corresponds to the ego of dharmas-believing that objects of experience are substantial and possess an independent existence. Both obscurations can be seen through by means of prajñāpāramitā.
