*Skt.: Hemasagara. A name applied to the buddhas of the [[five families]] as they appear in Buddhist cosmology. Our universe, the [[Saha world]], is said to appear within the thirteenth of twenty-five lotus flowers inside the alms bowl of [[Vairochana]]-Hemasagara. (The term is translated as Great Glacial Lake in [[Myriad Worlds]]) [[ASP]]
 
 
 
*Typically, an abbreviation of the cosmic buddha [[rnam par snang mdzad gang chen mtsho]], [[Vairocana Mahāhimasāgara]], one of the five buddhas from which, according to [[Mahayana]] cosmology, all of existence emanates. This name, which translates as "The One Who Manifests the Universe, Great Glacial Lake," presumably derives from the description of this Buddhas as being the basis for the manifestation of all the buddha fields and universes. The term "Great Glacial Lake" derives from the scented water that is said to pour down from the pores of his body and gather in pools, out of which more universes manifest. Though Vairocana is often described as manifesting the universe in this manner, a similar process occurs simultaneously with the remaining four buddhas of the five buddha families. This presentation of Buddhist cosmology is described in detail by Longchenpa in his [[zab don rgya mtsho'i sprin]], pp. 42-44. [[CJD]]

This is the RYI Dictionary content as presented on the site http://rywiki.tsadra.org/, which is being changed fundamentally and will become hard to use within the GoldenDict application. If you are using GoldenDict, please either download and import the rydic2003 file from DigitalTibetan (WayBack Machine version as the site was shut down in November 2021).

Or go directly to http://rywiki.tsadra.org/ for more upcoming features.
