བརྟན་པ་ཀུན་གཞི
ongoing all-ground; [Note: Is not in any Abhidharma, this term is used to explain why 'du shes med pa (induced unconsciousness) and 'gog pa'i snyoms 'jug (attainment of the suspension of attitudinal and functional operations) do not lead to extinction. It is clearer if this sentence reads thus: the ongoing, supporting, supportive, all-ground is not stopped by the state of nonconception or the two absorptions, for due to its power the cognitive act sems will not occur again] [RY]
