In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraPratilambhāta (प्रतिलम्भात) (Cf. Pratilābdha, Pratilambha) refers to “acquiring” (the conviction that dharmas do not arise), according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 22, v2).—Accordingly, “The Bodhisattva is born into the clan coming from the Bodhisattvas of the past.—[...], The Bodhisattva who begins with the strength of high aspiration is born into the clan of the Buddhas (buddhagotra). For the others, acquiring the conviction that dharmas do not arise [i.e., anutpattika-dharmakṣānti-pratilābdha] would be the “clan of the Buddha” for it is then that the Bodhisattva acquires a partial influx of the knowledge of all the aspects. Compare this stage with the gotrabhūmi in the Śrāvaka system”.
Note: In the sixth bhūmi (abhimukhī), examining emptiness of dharmas in every way, he possesses an intense preparatory conviction, but has not yet made his entry into the real anutpattika-dharmakṣānti.—Finally, the Bodhisattva ‘obtains’ the anutpattika-dharmakṣānti. This is what is called the definitive obtaining (pratilābdha, pratilambha, pratilambhāta) of kṣānti.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
