-I suggest that ''conscience'' in its original meaning of '''consciousness''' is very close etymologically to both '''rig pa''' and '''vidyā'''.'' Vid- rig- ''and'' -science'' all three mean ''knowledge''. So that one might find that consciousness can be slightly better than awareness for translating rig pa.

-As i was writing and researching this intervention i realized that in French ''conscience'' is quite definitely a good simple translation for rigpa. It might have been too obvious to be seen... -We don't  have another equivalent of awareness. ''Conscience'' also has a moral weight, but psychology, and philosophy, have almost steered the word back to cognition.<br> And then ''nescience'' would be ''marigpa'' and ''avidyā''<br>
-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness en.wikipedia.org] has a discussion of the history of the words ''coscientia'' and ''conscius''.<br>
