yan 'debs

GJT: abbr for "yan nas 'debs pa" which means to "purify from above" and refers to the process of purification thru the decent of amrita from Vajrasatta. The first of three modes of purification in Vajrasattva practice; the other two are man 'debs and 'phul 'debs. In the yan 'debs process one imagines one's impurities pass out from one's seat along with the amrita. N.B. GJT said that "deb" had the sense of "to push" but did not know the spelling of "deb" so 'debs is a best guess. See also man 'debs and 'phul 'debs [mss]
