The [[teaching]]s of the [[Earlier]] [[System]] were the [[first]] to appear in [[Tibet]], having been [[translated]] under the patronage of the [[Tibetan]] [[Dharma]] [[king]]s Songtsen Gampo, Trisong Detsen, and Tri Ralpachen. Those of the [[Latter]] [[System]] were [[propagated]] after having been [[translated]] into [[Tibetan]] by the [[great]] [[translator]] Rinchen Zangpo in the mid-tenth [[century]] and others thereafter. [[Thus]], [[one]] should [[understand]] that the [[term]]s [[earlier]] and [[latter]] refer to the [[period]]s in which their [[associated]] [[scripture]]s were [[translated]] and [[intro]]duced to [[Tibet]].

Chapter 3. Lineage Supplication Instructions

Although it is [[taught]] that the [[nature]] of the [[five]] [[affliction]]s is the [[five]] [[wisdom]]s, the [[term]] unmitigated [[affliction]]s refers to [[negative]] emotions as they are, without the mitigating [[influence]] of primordial [[awareness]]-[[wisdom]].

These [[word]]s come from [[Lama Garchen Rinpoche]]'s [[Refuge vow]] cards, which [[read]], "When [[harm]] to others and its [[cause]] are abandoned, the [[individual]] [[Liberation]] [[vow]]s are [[complete]]. When help to others and its [[cause]] are [[accomplished]], the [[Bodhisattvas' Vow]]s are [[complete]]. When [[one]] is adept at the [[pure perception]] of the [[vessel]] and [[content]]s, the [[Mantric]] [[vow]]s are [[complete]]."

[[Rinpoche]] also insisted that the verb "to be [[free]] from" ('bral ba), rather than its occasional homonym "to be [[related]]" ('brel ba), is the correct [[term]] in this [[quote]].

Once, there was a [[faith]]ful old [[Tibetan]] [[woman]] who had a [[habit]] of [[making]] [[daily]] [[prayer]]s and [[offering]]s. Since her [[son]] traveled regularly to [[India]] on business, she asked him to bring her an [[object]] of veneration from the [[Holy]] [[Land]]. After [[forget]]ting her [[request]] many [[time]]s, the [[son]] finally [[remember]]ed it just as he was returning home [[empty]] [[handed]] yet again. [[Feeling]] desperate, he looked around for some[[thing]] that could serve as a [[relic]] and spotted the skull of a dog on the [[ground]]. He pulled out [[one]] of its teeth, wrapped it in nice cloth, and when he reached home, [[present]]ed it to his [[mother]] as a tooth of [[Lord]] [[Buddha]] him[[self]]. The [[woman]] continually made [[prostration]]s and [[offering]]s to it with a [[mind]] of [[faith]]. So [[great]] was her [[faith]] that the [[Buddhas]]' [[blessings]] [[entered]] the [[ordinary]] tooth, causing [[second]]ary [[relic]]s to [[spontaneous]]ly come forth from it. Through the [[force]] of her [[belief]], the [[material]] [[substance]] of the dog's tooth became indistinguishable from an [[actual]] [[relic]] of the [[Buddha]]. This was confirmed by the [[appearance]] of [[auspicious]] [[sign]]s like rainbow [[light]]s and the like at the [[time]] of her [[passing]]. For the full [[story]] [[see]] Paltrül [[Rinpoche]], Kun bzang bla ma'i zhal [[lung]], 356–58.

Here, [[Rinpoche]] is referring to the [[great]] [[accomplishment retreat]]. Obviously, this [[practice]] of having [[one]] [[group]] responsible for [[chant]]ing the [[Practice Manual]] with [[mantra]]s and another for [[chant]]ing only the [[mantra]]s is not done in [[retreat]]s in the [[West]]. Since [[Rinpoche]] mentioned it frequently in our discussions about [[Vajrakīla Practice]], I include this [[point]] to [[give]] some idea of how the [[retreat]] was [[conduct]]ed in a [[monastic]] setting in [[Tibet]].

[[According]] to the Ayurvedic and [[Tibetan]] [[medical]] [[system]]s, there are [[seven]] dhātus, or tissues (lüzung dün), in the [[body]]. After nutrients have been digested, the dhātus are [[generate]]d sequentially from (1) rasa or plasma (dangma), to (2) rakta or blood (trag), to (3) mamsa or muscle and connective tissue (sha), to (4) medha or fat (tsil), to (5) asthi or bone (rü), to (6) majja or m[[arrow]] (kang), and, finally, to (7) śukra or reproductive tissues (khuwa). A [[refine]]ment takes [[place]] at each [[stage]], yielding both a [[pure]] portion (dangma) and a waste product (nyigma). This [[process]] is said to take about a month to [[complete]]. [[See]] "lus zungs bdun" in Zhang Yisun's Bod rgya tshig mdzod chen mo.
