[[snyoms 'jug gi bsam gtan bzhi]] - four [[dhyana]] states of serenity. The first dhyana is a state with both concept and discernment. The second dhyana is a state without concept but with discernment. The third dhyana is a state without delight but with [[bliss]]. The fourth dhyana is a state of [[equanimity]] [RY]


A Mahayana school of Buddhist philosophy propagated by the great master [[Asanga]] and his followers. Founded on the Lankavatara Sutra and other scriptures, its main premise is that all phenomena are only mind, i.e. mental perceptions that appear within the [[all-ground consciousness]] due to [[habitual tendencies]]. Positively, this view relinquishes the fixation on a solid reality. Negatively, there is still clinging to a truly existing 'mind' within which everything takes place. [RY]
