- One of the five fruitional aspects of a buddha. The term buddha-mind (Skt. citta) is synonymous with pristine cogniton (jñāna), five modes of which are differentiated. In the distinctive terminology of the rNying-ma school, these are known as:
1) the buddha-mind of great non-conceptuality (mi rtog chen po'i thugs),
2) the buddha mind of indivisible indestructible reality (mi phyed rdo rje'i thugs)
3) the buddha-mind of great equanimity (mnyam nyid chen po'i thugs),
4) the buddha-mind of manifest enlightenment (mngon byang gi thugs), and
5) the buddha-mind which liberates living beings ('gro ba sgrol ba'i thugs).
