'das phye ba

འདས་ཕྱེ་བ
R/GD: "separating," "distinguishing." R used these two terms ('das phye ba and 'das mi phye ba) in the context of discussing Mi-pham's (and the Nyingma's) view on the relationship between gang zag gi bdag med and chos kyi bdag med. Acc. to this view, gang zag gi bdag med and chos kyi bdag med are 'das mi phye ba. The upshot of this is that gang zag gi bdag med is an instance (bye brag) of chos kyi bdag med which is a generality. So the two are related as generality (chos kyi bdag med) and instance (gang zag gi bdag med). Those such as the Ge-lug-pa who hold that gang zag gi bdag med and chos kyi bdag med are separate ('das phye ba) reject Mi-pham's claim that the two are related as generality and instance. [mss] [RY]
