three vajras - Our essence, nature and capacity are the dharmakaya, sambhogakaya and nirmanakaya. They are also the three vajras — the vajra body, speech and mind of all the buddhas — which we are supposed to achieve. This real and authentic state is, in itself, empty, which is dharmakaya. Its cognizant quality, isn't that sambhogakaya? Its unconfined unity, isn't that nirmanakaya? This indivisible identity of the three kayas is called the 'essence body,' svabhavikakaya. when we have cut through karma and obscurations and habitual patterns, then the nature of the three vajras is primordially and spontaneously present already within us. Unless we had these how could we produce the three vajras. Its because the three vajras are present within the ground as the vajra body, vajra speech and vajra mind and which is primordially present in all sentient beings as well. [Primer] [RY]

Three vows;, (sdom gsum). The pratimoksa vows concern all the lay and monastic precepts of conduct taught by Lord Buddha in the Vinaya. The bodhisattva vows are in essence the wish to generate, cultivate and preserve the vow to dedicate all one's thoughts, words and actions solely to the benefit of others. Relatively, this means the exercise of loving kindness, compassion, and the six paramitas, ultimately leading all beings to complete enlightenment. The samaya vows are the sacramental links created when a disciple attends a spiritual master and receives from him an initiation. Although it is said that there are one hundred thousand samayas in the Mantrayana, they can be condensed into the samayas related to the body, speech and mind of the guru. [MR]

Threefold Division of Ngari in Tö (stod mnga' ris skor gsum): According to CN, they are: 1) The Dharma Land of Mang Yul (mang yul chos kyi skor); 2) The Auspicious Bönpo Land of Guge (gu ge g.yung drung bon gi skor); and 3) The Snow Land of Purang (pu rang /spu hreng gangs kyi skor). Alternately, these three have been defined as 1) Guge Ya'i Kor (gu ge g.ya' yi skor), the Slate Land of Guge; 2) Purang Khang gi Kor (pu hrang gangs kyi skor), the Snow Land of Purang; 3) Ruthop Chap gi Kor (ru thob chab kyi skor) the Water Land of Ruthop.

Latö is the western part of Tsang and includes the districts of Nyanang (gnya' nang), Tingri (ding ri), Pungrong (spung rong), and Shelkar (shel dkar). People from Latö call themselves Töpas (stod pa), "people of Tö", which adds to the confusion, but they are not considered as such by inhabitants of Ngari. One also distinguishes North Latö (byang la stod) and South Latö (lho la stod, see TC, p. 2745), which were two of the thirteen divisions of Tibet (bod khri skor gcu sum). [MR-ShabkarNotes]

Tibetan coins and measures. These measures correspond to quantities of silver and gold since banknotes were issued only at the beginning of the twentieth century. In Shabkar's times one sho (zho) was the equivalent of 3.7 g. of silver and nine sho were roughly equivalent to one sang (srang). Various Nepalese coins (called tamka, Tib. tangka, from a Muslim name) equivalent to one-and-half sho circulated in Tibet at the same value, although some were made of pure silver and some of 50 percent alloy. The issue of debased coins caused repeated conflicts with Nepal (see chap. 13, note 46). Chinese coins of fine silver equivalent to one sho were also common. The karma (skar ma) is the smallest monetary unit and is roughly equivalent to one-tenth of a sho. A che-gye (phyed brgyad) is half of a cut tanka. A dotse (rdo tshad = stone-size) is the weight, or collection of fifty sangs. A Chinese tamik (rta rmig = horse hoof) is a silver ingot cast in the shape of a horse's hoof. There are two sizes: a large one weighing 165 tolas of silver (that is, about 2 kg.) and a small one weighing about 500 gms. On the development of currency in Tibet, see Rhodes (1990).
