 Notes

1. The aggregates are the Five Skandhas, constituents of the personality: (1) form; (2) feeling; (3)
conception; (4) mental formations; (5) consciousness.
2. The elements are the Eighteen Dhatus: the six sense organs (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind),
their six objects (form, sound, smell, taste, the tangible and mental objects), and their six
consciousnesses.
3. The sense bases are the Twelve Ayatanas: the six sense organs and their six objects.
4. The five actions of immediate retribution are: (1) killing one's father; (2) killing one's mother; (3)
killing an Arhat; (4) purposely shedding the blood of a Buddha; and (5) causing a schism in the
Sangha.
5. The ten non-virtuous actions are: the three of body: killing, stealing and sexual misconduct; the four
of speech: lying, slander, abuse and idle gossip; and the three of mind: craving, ill-will and wrong
views.
6. The five actions related to the five acts of immediate retribution are: (1) dishonoring a female Arhat,
(2) killing a Bodhisattva who dwells on the level of certainty, (3) killing a disciple, (5) depriving the
means of income of the Sangha, and (5) destroying a Stupa.
7. The two obscurations are the obscuration of emotional afflictions and the obscuration of what is to be
known. The first includes the twenty-six major and minor afflictions, which must be eliminated
before the attainment of Arhatship. The second is the instinct of clinging to the illusion of
independent self-existence, and it is this, which blocks the way to the full enlightenment of
Buddhahood.
8. The two bodies of enlightenment are: (1) the Rupakaya or "form body," composed of the
Nirmanakaya and Sambhogakaya, which comes from the perfection of merit and (2) the Dharmakaya
which comes from the perfection of wisdom.
9. Lord of Mysteries, Guhyapati, is another name for Vajrapani.
10. The Sixteen Elders (Arhats or Sthaviras) were entrusted by Shakyamuni Buddha with the
preservation of the Buddhadharma. Each of these elders vowed not to pass into Nirvana, but to
prolong his life so that he could continue the work of the Buddha and reveal and protect the Dharma.
These Sixteen Elders possess miraculous powers which would enable them to travel to various parts
of the world to spread the Buddhadharma. After their duty is fulfilled they will enter into Nirvana,
and, like the dying flame of a lamp, their bodies will disappear leaving no trace. These sixteen
Arhats are: (1) Angaja (Yan-lag-'byung), who resides on Mount Kailash; (2) Ajita (Ma-pham-pa),
who resides in the Crystal Wood of Rishi Mountain; (3) Vanavasin (Nags-na-gnas), who resides in
the cave of the Seven-leaves Mountain; (4) Kalika (Dus-ldan), who resides on Copper Island in the
Southern continent; (5) Vajriputra (rDo- rje mo'i-bu), who resides on the island of Singala; (6)
Bhadra (bZang-po), who resides on the island in the Yamuna River; (7) Kanakavatsa (gSer-gyi be-'u),
who resides in Kashmir; (8) Bharadhvaja the Golden (Bha-ra-rdwa-dza gser-can), who resides in the
western continent Godinaya; (9) Bakula (Ba-ku-la), who resides in the northern continent Kuru; (10)
Rahula (sGra-can-'dzin), who resides on the island of Priyangu; (11) Chudapanthaka (Lam-phran-
bstan), who resides on Vulture Peak; (12) Bharadhvaja The Alms Receiver (Bha-ra-rdwa-dza bsod-
snyoms-len), who resides in the eastern continent Videha; (13) Mahapanthaka (Lam-chen-bstan), who

34
 resides in the Realm of the Thirty-three; (14) Nagasena (Klu-'i-sde), who resides on the slopes of
Mount Meru; (15) Gopaka (sBed-byed), who resides on the mountain Bhihula; (16) Abheda (Mi-
phyed-pa), who resides in the Himalayas.
11. The Seven Hierarchs, early masters of the doctrine, are Mahakashyapa (‘Od-srung-chen-po), Ananda
(Kun-dga’-bo), Shanavastri [Shanavasika](Shan-na’i-gos-can), Upagupta (Nye-sbas), Krishna (Nag-
po-pa), Dhitika (?), Sudarshana (?).
12. The Six Ornaments are Nagarjuna, Asanga, Aryadeva, Vasubandhu, Dignaga, and Dharmakirti.
13. The Three Teachers are Candrakirti, Shantideva, and Chandragomin.
14. The Eight Vidyadharas are Vimalamitra, Humkara, Manjushrimitra, Nagarjuna, Padmasambhava,
Dhanasamskrta, Rambughya-Devacandra and Shantigarbha. See Dudjom Rinpoche's History, pp.
475-483.
15. Bu-ston Rin-chen-grub (1290-1364) is primarily associated with the work of compiling the Tibetan
Buddhist Canon: the Kanjur (translations into Tibetan of the Buddha's actual teachings) and the
Tenjur (translation into Tibetan of the treatises by later masters). Bu-ston wrote prolifically,
especially on the Prajnaparamita and the Kalachakratantra, and his history of Buddhism in India and
Tibet is especially well-known. His monastery was Zhwa-lu and the followers of his teachings are
called Zhwa-lu-pas, both of which had close connections with the Sakya tradition.
16. Dol-po-pa Shes-rab rGyal-mtshan (1292-1361) was the most renowned philosophical writer of the
Jo-nang-pa school, which was named after the monastery of Jo-mo-nang. He was adept at the
Kalachakratantra teachings and formulated the gzhan-stong (other emptiness) teachings.
17. Tsong-kha-pa Blo-gros Grags-pa (1357-1419), an emanation of Manjushri, was the founder of the
dGe-lugs school. Among his many great religious acts, he instituted the sMon-lam-chen-mo, Great
Prayer Festival, in 1408 at the Jo-khang in Lhasa, and founded dGa'-ldan (Ganden) Monastery in
1409.
18. The two aspects of Bodhicitta are aspiration and application.
19. Learning refers to the first four of the five Buddhist paths to enlightenment: Accumulation,
Application, Insight and Meditation.
20. No-further-learning is the fifth Buddhist path and is equivalent to Buddhahood.
21. The two stages are the Creation Stage and the Perfection Stage.
