Nondual awareness
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Non-dual Awareness; An unlimited yet localized aspect of pure awareness which is not involved with any directives of or for self, subject or object. Awareness free of discursive determinations and conceptuality. Non-duality of non-dual awareness. See Bodhicitta which is also a spontaneously arisen aspect of this awareness. In Dzogchen, this is the full implication of pure presence, invested of this inherent awareness as well as of the inseparability of the three times. The all-inclusive and fully permeating view of both the absolute and relative aspects of existence. The non-differentiated ground-essence of any unity. Awareness beyond singularity and multiplicity. [RWB]
