Aalaya and Neutral awareness
by Daniel Arraes » Mon Feb 06, 2012 10:00 pm
Can one say that, according to Dzogchen, Aalaya (kun-gzhi) and the neutral awareness (shes-pa-lung-ma-bstan) are the same thing?

No, they are different. The ālaya is ignorance.

I've seen ālaya roughly translated to (or said to represent) a sort of storehouse or warehouse consciousness, is it due to this notion that it is essentially ignorance?

No, they are different. The ālaya is ignorance.
What type of ignorance: innate or imputing?

Imputing since it is afflicted.
