), always paired with Means as the two requisites for Enlightenment. Specifically, Insight is the experience of the total . emptiness of existence in all intrinsic natures, developed through study, reflection, and one's own growth in it.
Insight-Initiation. See Initiation.
Intermediate State (bar-ma-do'i srid-pa/antara-bhava). State between
death and rebirth, lasting anywhere from a moment to forty-nine days, when the conscious stream (q. v. ) is passing to the new kind of body determined by its habits-aggregate of the previous existence.
Intrinsic Nature (ngo-bo-nyid/svabhava). The apparently real self- identity of things.
Investigative Insight (so-sor rtog-pa'i shes-rab/pratyavek~ana-prajfia). Type of analysis necessary for realisation of the emptiness of inherent existence in all phenomena.

condition and will continue to have future consequence.

Levels. See Ten Levels.

13.
Lord of the World ('jig-rten mgon/lokesvara). Epithet of the Buddha. Maitreya (byams-pa). The Bodhisattva of Love, whose Buddha-field is
presently the Tu~ita heaven, and who will come into the world as the next Buddha after Gautama. He is the inspirer of Asanga (q. v. ) in the teaching of the extensive practice of compassion.
Ma~"ala (dkyil-'khor). A geometric symbolic representation of the universe in all its directions, constructed either of actual graphic materials (paint, ink, sand) or mentally visualised according to prescribed rules of particular Tantras.

Chapter 6 of the Commentary is AtiSa's endorsement of this school.

GLOSSARY 197
? 198 A LAMP FOR THE PATH AND COMMENTARY
Nagarjuna (klu-sgrub). Second-century AD saint and author, reputed founder of the Middle Way (madhyamika) school of Mahayana, inspired by Mafijusri. Composer of the Basic Stanzas on the Middle Way and numerous other important works which Atlsa follows in his teaching on Higher Insight.
Nirv~a (mya-ngan-las-'das). Literally, "blown out" as with a candle's flame. The ultimate state of bliss and extinction of all possible cause of suffering. Three kinds of Nirval)a: 1) with-remainder, 2) without- remainder, 3) deferred. From the Mahayana point of view, Nirval)a- with-remainder is that of the Hlnayana Arhat whose afflicting obscurations (q. v. ) have ceased so that Nirval)a is achieved, but who retains some obscuration about what should have been known con- cerning the true nature of reality, that is the total non-inherent existence of both person and things. Nirval)a-without-remainder is
that of the Solitary Buddha, all of whose obscurations have ceased, but whose state is less complete because of his declining to return to the world of samsara for the sake of others. Deferred-Nirvana des- cribes the state of the Mahayana bodhisattva who has earned Nirval)a by eliminating all his obscurations, but by choice remains in sarpsara to continue working for the liberation of others out of compassion.
Non-self (bdag-med/anatman). Basic characteristic of Buddhist teach- ing. In Hlnayana, taken to mean the non-existence of soul or person; in Mahayana, extended to mean the non-existence both of person and of any inherently existing thing whatsoever.
Nun (dge-slong-ma/bhik~unr). Feminine counterpart of monk (q. v. ) with an additional stage of probation, and commitment to her appro- priate vows in formal ordination ceremony.
Obscuration (sgrib/avaral)a). Frequent Mahayana term denoting the hindrances and obstacles that stand in the way of Enlightenment. Of two kinds: 1) afflictions (q. v. ), those which have karmic consequences in terms of one's habitual tendencies, and 2) what still remains to be known (shes-bya/jfieya), that is the Insight yet to be gained concern- ing the emptiness of inherently existing things.
Ornaments of Virtuous Practice (dge-sbyong-gi rgyan/ sramal)a-alam-kara). Seventeen virtues pertaining to religious life; e. g. , having faith, suffering little ill health, having few needs, having greater patience, and so on.
Own-Existence (rang-bzhin/svabhava). A n inherently existing thing having its own nature and substance.
Perfection. See Ten Perfections.
Phenomenon (chos/dharma). Technical term denoting in the Hmayana
the ultimately real constitutive elements of the apparent world, con- ceived of as constantly appearing and disappearing instants of energy; hence "phenomenon". In Mahayana, even phenomena have no real inherent existence.
Po~dha (gso-sbyong). Buddhist "sabbath day", fortnightly religious observances at new and full moon of each month, marked especially for monks by community recitation of the Priitimo~a.
? Powers. See Five Powers and Eight Great Powers.
Pratimo~a (so-sor-thar-pa). Literally, "individual liberation". Used in
two senses: 1) referring to the Pratimok:ja Sutra which contains the list of some two hundred rules to which monks are vowed, or 2) referring to the vowed Buddhist religious community and its seven ranks. See Commentary, Chapter 3.
Preceptor-Initiation (slob-dpon dbang/acarya-abhiseka). See Initiation. Profound View (zab-mo lta-ba/gambhira-d~ti). Middle Way school term for its teaching on the emptiness of inherent existence of both
person and phenomena.
Progress Mind/Thought ('jug-sems/avatara-citta). Second of the two
stages of development of the Enlightenment-Thought, the first being Resolution (q. v. ). The distinction arises because of the question of whether the simple resolve to achieve Enlightenment for the sake of others is sufficient for achieving the goal, and at what point one's resolve continues into actual achievement.
Pure Life/Celibacy (tshangs-par spyod-pa/brahma-caryam). Originally the Indian term designating the student stage of life, which implied abstention from sexual activity. Later, the technical term for sexual purity and renunciation of marriage for religious pursuits; specifically, the monk's primary vow of religious celibacy for life in imitation of the Gautama Buddha.
Qualities of Purification (sbyangs-pa'i yon-tan/dhiita-gu~a). Twelve items having to do with the frugal equipment of monastic life, often paired with the Ornaments of Virtuous Practice (q. v. ); such as dust- heap rags cleaned for making the monastic robes, alms, possessing a single mat for meditation, and so on.
Realm of True Reality (chos-kyi-dbyings/dharma-dhatu). For Mahayanists, the ultimate reality underlying phenomena; that is, their non-existence as intrinsic natures, or Emptiness.
Refuges. See Three Refuges.
Relative Truth. See Two Truths.
Religious Life (rab-tu byung-ba/pravrajya). Technical term for monastic
community life according to vowed rules, as with novices and monks, and essentially implying celibacy; as opposed to lay-persons' life or the householder who is married, such as the Lay Devotee.
Resolution/Resolve-Mind/Resolve-Thought (smon-sems/pra~idhana- citta). The first determination of one who has the Enlightenment Thought (bodhicitta) to seek Enlightenment for the sake of others. The commitment that precedes the Progress-Mind/Thought (q. v. ).
S~sara ('khor-ba). The cycle of rebirth and transmigration. See Destinies.
Santideva (zhi-ba-lha). Eighth-century AD saint and scholar, author of the Compendium of Training and Progress in Practice, frequently quoted in the Commentary of Atisa. Inspired by Maiijugho~a as the primary teacher of the lineage which combjnes the practice of the Perfections with Middle Way school's theory of Insight.
