Explanation of “Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment” – Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche
The Different Realms of Existence and Karma
Understanding Rebirth in Life Forms Other Than Human or Animal A topic that is often skipped over is that of the sufferings of the three lower realms, or the “three worse realms” as I prefer to call them. The Tibetan term is actually the “three bad realms,” but “bad” seems a...

Self-Transformation through the Lam-rim Graded Stages
The Relation between Objects of the Three Times

Revealing Forms of Speech as One of the Eight Types of Sound in Vaibhashika
As we have seen, sound in general, including a revealing form of speech, is a non-appropriated (ma-zin-pa, Skt. anupātta) form of physical phenomena. Not being a part of the body, sound cannot be the physical support for a consciousness and its accompanying mental factors. But...

Kalachakra: The Four Creative Drops
Analysis of Causality and Karma
Six Types of Causes Our discussion has brought up several questions and topics. We can add more pieces of the puzzle by looking into these topics so that we have a larger picture of what’s involved with karma. One of these topics is the topic of the different types of causes,...

Refutation of a Pratimoksha Vow as a Nonrevealing Form in Sautrantika
Refutation of a Pratimoksha Vowed Restraint as a Nonrevealing Form That Follows from a Revealing Form In response to the Vaibhashika objection that if the existence of nonrevealing forms were negated, the consequence would be that pratimoksha vowed restraints would not exist,...

A Buddha’s Omniscience of the Three Times
The Relation between Objects of the Three Times We have seen that there is no common-locus of a “result, which is not yet happening,” a “result, which is presently happening,” and “a result, which is no longer happening.” Moreover, although a continuum can be validly imputed...
