rgyu 'bras kyi theg pa - rgyu dang 'bras bu'i theg pa - causal and resultant vehicles. The teachings of Hinayana and Mahayana that regard the practices of the path as the causes for attaining the fruition of liberation and enlightenment and the Vajrayana system of taking fruition as the path by regarding buddhahood as inherently present and the path as the act of uncovering the basic state. The great master Longchenpa defined them as follows: "The causal vehicles are so called because of accepting a sequence of cause and effect, asserting that buddhahood is attained by increasing the qualities of the nature of the sugata essence, which is merely present as a seed, through the circumstance of the two accumulations. The resultant vehicles are so called because of asserting that the basis for purification is the (sugata) essence endowed with qualities that are spontaneously present as a natural possession in sentient beings, just as the sun is endowed with rays of light; that the objects of purification are the temporary defilements of the eight collections (of consciousnesses), like the sky being (temporarily) obscured by clouds; and that one realizes the result of purification, the primordially present nature, by means of that which purifies, the paths of ripening and liberation. Besides this, there is no difference (between the two) in sequence or quality." [RY]

srog sdom gzer bzhi - four stakes to bind the life-force; [detailed expl., Light of Wisdom, Vol. 2, page 108]. Furrthermore: To explain the 'four stakes to bind the life-force,' the object to be purified is the state of affairs of a sentient being's body, speech and mind as well as its activities. The result of purification is the Body, Speech, Mind, Qualities and Activities of buddhahood. Even though the basic state of affairs of a sentient being is primordially pure as these aspects of buddhahood, in the apparent state they are seen as being impure and involved in the cause and effect of samsaric existence. The means that purify are to apply the key points of instruction in the four stakes to bind the life-force and hereby you are able to realize the way it ultimately is. Thus, by binding samsara and nirvana with the life-force of their purity in being equality, both the basic and the apparent aspects - the practitioner's three gates and activities and the deity's Body, Speech, Mind and Activities - are brought into the path as the great primordial purity. This is therefore the extraordinary key point of the unity of development and completion and the special feature of the Old School of the Early Translations, Ngagyur Nyingma. [DILGO KHYENTSE] [RY]

Four noble truths ('phags pa'i bden pa bzhi). The four truths are the truth of suffering, of origin, of the cessation, and of the path. The truth of suffering refers to the world and the beings.
