Significance of Reliability
In Tibetan Buddhism, reliability is defined as the quality of being trustworthy or dependable. However, this notion is not guaranteed by the concept of beginninglessness, which indicates that the past has no definitive starting point. Thus, while reliability is an essential aspect of relationships and actions, it is important to recognize that it may not always be assured within the framework of beginninglessness in Tibetan Buddhist thought.
