Hi [[KT]]...
[[Vajra body]] endowed with the six elements. The [[six outer elements]] are the [[five elements]] and the element of mental objects ([[chos khams]]). The [[six inner elements]] are flesh, blood, warmth, breath, vacuities and the [[all-ground consciousness]]. The [[six secret elements]] are the [[nadi]]s as the stable earth element, the syllable [[HANG]] at the crown of the head as the liquid water element, the [[A-stroke]] at the navel center as the warm fire element, the [[life-prana]] ([[srog gi rlung]]) as the moving wind element, the [[avadhuti]] as the void space element, and the [[all-ground wisdom]] as the [[cognizant wisdom element]]. This last category is the uncommon explanation. ([[RY]])
Well, I think that [[shedra]] has the inference of 'institute' and 'practice center' pretty well wrapped up, so if all agree, perhaps we can dub [[Drubdra]] with the 'retreat center' def.?  Ideas from others?

By the way Tshering, you can now use the shorter form [[KT]] to indicate your contributions. If that's not alright for you, please let me know and we'll undo it...but you can still use the long form too.  (just a heads-up...) ([[RWB]])
 
::oh...well, if [[Tybd]] would provide some identifying info., we might also get that abbreviation 'in  blue' as well?  ...Tybd?  This allows for 'frequent' contributors to communicate a bit more personally, like this.  Btw [[KT]], I totally agree with your sentiments re: Erik and our other translator/author/teachers and lamas who are contributing and providing their precious guidance to both our secular and spiritual lives.  --[[User:Richard|Richard]] 01:25, 6 October 2007 (EDT) ([[RWB]])

I would suggest something other than "practice center" as a translation, something that spells it out a bit more. Many Buddhist centers in the West would colloquially be referred to as practice centers, but they wouldn't be called sgrub grva-s, which seems only to refer to three-year retreat centers.

Vajra body endowed with the six elements. The six outer elements are the five elements and the element of mental objects (chos khams). The six inner elements are flesh, blood, warmth, breath, vacuities and the all-ground consciousness. The six secret elements are the nadis as the stable earth element, the syllable HANG at the crown of the head as the liquid water element, the A-stroke at the navel center as the warm fire element, the life-prana (srog gi rlung) as the moving wind element, the avadhuti as the void space element, and the all-ground wisdom as the cognizant wisdom element. This last category is the uncommon explanation. (RY)
