[«previous next»] — 'bras bu sems kyi byung sar 'dod pa'i sems phyogs in Tibetan Buddhism glossary

'bras bu sems kyi byung sar 'dod pa'i sems phyogs (འབྲས་བུ་སེམས་ཀྱི་བྱུང་སར་འདོད་པའི་སེམས་ཕྱོགས) in Tibetan refers to “the area of mind which holds the result to be the mind’s point of origin” and represents one of the seven categories of the Mental Class (Semde or sems-sde) which represents one of the three Divisions of Atiyoga (Dzogchen).—Concerning the first ('bras-bu sems-kyi byung-sar 'dod-pa'i sems-phyogs) area of mind: The result is unchanging in the original expanse [of reality], and so the mind does not wander from this disposition, although it does arise in the manner of saṃsāra from the apparitional, spontaneously present aspect of the ground that is released from the same unchanging disposition. Therefore the mind is empty of impure particulars, and its emergence from the expanse, its abiding in the expanse and its dissolving in the expanse in the manner of a miraculous event in the sky, which are derived from that apparitional aspect, are determined to be primordial liberation, and effortless, natural presence (ye-grol rang-gzhag 'bad-rtsol med-par la-bzla-ba'o)
