-'''Primordial Ground of Being''' ([[gdod ma'i gzhi]])
+#redirect [[Hungry Ghosts]]
-----
-This is a key term in the [[Dzogchen]] tradition, where it is often used to describe the fundamental nature of reality. As Longchenpa explains in the passage below, this [[ground of being]] is said to consist of three factors: [[essence, nature and compassion]]. He explains:
-"The primordial ground of being is not restricted to [[samsara]] or [[nirvana]], nor does fall to any extreme. In this previous state, the objective [[basic space of reality]] is pure by its very nature. It is empty and accommodating like the center of wide-open space, transparent and unmoving like the depths of a clear ocean, and clear and unobscured like the surface of a polished mirror. Present as the empty essence, clear nature, and unobstructed radiance of compassion, it is the way things primordially are." ([[TJ]] 18) '''[[CJD]]'''
