Secret Achi Practice

1
Tib. Ma Mo: Female divinities manifested out of dharmadhatu but appearing in
ways that correspond to mundane appearances through the interrelationship between
the mundane world and the channel, wind, and drop within our body. They have
both an ultimate and relative aspect.
2

Tib: ye Shes kyi sGron ma, (ye sh kyi kha dro ma) Skt. Jana Pradipa: The word
lamp (sGron ma) is commonly used in female names. One such name is Chdon
(short for Chkyi Donma). This means Dharma Lamp. The meaning behind this is
obvious: The teachings of the Buddha (Dharma) is like a lamp (pradipa) that dispels
the darkness of ignorance. However, there are many instances where the name of
Achi Chdon is, most uncommonly written as Achi Chdol in Tibetan, and
therefore, Dharma Tara/Tare, in Sanskrit.

Tib. srid pa gSum (s pa sum):

1. beneath the earth
2. on the earth, and
3. above the earth.
Also
1. the birth state
2. the death state, and
3. intermediate state.
In the Mantrayana Nyingmapa tradition,
1. the desire realm of appearance body
2. the form realm of semi-appearance speech, and
3. formless realm of non-appearance mind.

Tib. Chos rJe (Chje): In context refers to Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, the founder of
Drigung Kagy tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
5

Tib. Bla Dwags (la dag): nickname including derogatory ones like Nachen (Big
Nose). There is another school of thought suggesting that it is not Bla Dwags but it
has to be Bla Tag (la tag). Latag is the ever-changing emblematic sign of ones lifeforce.
6

Tib. yan lag lNga (yen lag nga): head, two arms, and two legs.
