In Hinduism

Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Parikalpitā (परिकल्पिता) refers to “being conceived”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] Free of desire, she fulfils desires and, eternal, is like the rays of the full moon. Her form is dynamic like a lightning flash. (She is) the primordial power who flames up from the mind. She is the power of that god who is formless, imperishable, eternal, ancient, and conjoined with the power Kubjī. She is conceived (parikalpitā) to be in the face of the venerable Tūṣṇīśanātha. O goddess, this, the eternally active First Face (of lord Śiva) has been explained to you”.

context information

Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā

Parikalpita (परिकल्पित) refers to “mentally constructed”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said to the Brahmā Prabhāvyūha: “[...] Because all dharmas are the dharmas of the Buddha, and the dharmas of the Buddha are neither the dharmas nor non-dharmas. Why is that? The dharmas of the Buddha cannot be mentally constructed (parikalpita) by perception, or rather, those are taught in order to fully know the perception. Thus the thought-construction that there is neither perception nor non-perception is neither the dharma nor the non-dharma. Brahmā, since the dharmas of the Buddha have such an essential character, by their own essential character, they are pure and transcendent. Since own essential character is the absence of essential character, open space has no essential character and it is characterized as all dharmas. [...]”.

context information

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.

Buddhist philosophy

Parikalpita (परिकल्पित) refers to the “imaginary nature”, as explained by the “ten aspects of (distracting) false imagination” (daśa-vikṣepa-vikalpa). These ten are enumerated as aspects of false imagination which may be imputed in all sorts of contexts, and it is on this basis that the process of reification actually comes to partake of the imaginary nature.

Parikalpita (परिकल्पित) refers to “imagined things”.—The ultimate truth for Yogācāras, however, is beyond dravyasat (“causally existent”). It is emptiness (śūnyatā) or consciousness only (vijñaptimātra), i.e., the fact that there is no imagined thing (parikalpita) in the real world (paratantra). In other words, the ultimate truth is that there is nothing external which corresponds to cognition and that cognition alone exists. This sphere is inef fable and only the domain of the supernatural cognition (lokottarajñāna) of enlightened ones.

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems

Parikalpitā (परिकल्पिता) in Sanskrit refers to “imaginary phenomena” and represents one of the “Three Natures” or “Three Characteristics” (in Cittamātra ontology).—They represent the three types of phenomena which are known in Tibetan mtshan nyid gsum.—The Cittamātrins assert that dharmas established from their own side, without being merely imputed by thought, are specifically characterized, established by their own characteristics, and truly established; while dharmas established as mere imputations by thought are the reverse. They assert both the dependent nature and the thoroughly established nature as truly established, and the imaginary nature as non–truly established. These are the three “natures” or “characteristics” [e.g., imaginary phenomena (kun btags, parikalpita)] into which, according to Cittamātrins, all existents may be divided.

context information

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
