| Wylie | dbyings |
| Wylie Definition | dhAtu; expanse; Realm. Short for chos kyi dbyings (Realm of Dharmas): the 'objective sphere' of Total Knowledge insomuch as it may be said to have one. Skt. dhAtu. Note that Realm with a capital letter is used to translate Tibetan dbyings, but the word should not be taken to connote a circumscribed space. The word 'realm' with a small 'r' translates Tibetan khams which may connote a particular realm ruled by one of the senses, circumscribed by the limitations of that sense. Sometimes, as in medicine, it means an 'element' distributed within a larger organism. Both dbyings (and byings, q.v.) and khams translate the same Skt. word dhAtu, but in different usages of that word. Germano, Poetic Thought 882, translates 'dhAtu.' zab cing phra ba'i don dang skabs 'gar dgongs pa'i don. Btsan-lha. |
