[«previous next»] — gol sgrib la bzla ba'i sems phyogs in Tibetan Buddhism glossary

gol sgrib la bzla ba'i sems phyogs (གོལ་སྒྲིབ་ལ་བཟླ་བའི་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 second area of mind (gol-sgrib la-bzla-ba'i sems-phyogs): The eight sequences [of the vehicle] from Anuyoga downwards are deviations from the ground because they are designated by the intellect. In this [area of the Mental Class], on the other hand, cause and conditions have been determined by the naturally present pristine cognition free from the intellect, so that the great, primordial emptiness, which is reality, is unobscured in its fundamental nature, beyond recollection, thought, bias, emergent sensation and so forth.
