'agod pa

Post by Josef »

Well, what the heck does it mean?
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

That doesn't seem to be anything according to either of my dictionaries (assuming you put it in Wylie). But god pa is decreased, diminished, lost.

edit: Just remembered. Perhaps you misread the Tibetan and it says 'god pa?
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

I thought of that. I checked the text again and it seems like I have it right.
I haven't been able to find anything either. Although the closest I have gotten is lost, diminished, etc.
The text I am looking at definitely has an a chung before the ga.

thanks Namdrol.
That makes more sense.
