Eight modes of dissolution
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.

When the eight doors of spontaneous presence are embraced by the oral instructions, there will be eight modes of dissolution.
- By capacity dissolving, samsaric sentient beings are liberated as personal experience and thus there is not even a hint of confusion.
- Likewise by the light dissolving, there is one taste as dharmadhatu, which is not made of conceptual colours and not divided into families.
- By the bodies dissolving, there is purity as complete as the essence that transcends the elaborations of heads and arms.
- By the wisdom dissolving, the mother and child of dharmata mingle together.
- By non-duality dissolving, the three-thousandfold world system is liberated into the essence itself.
- By the freedom from extremes dissolving, the referential objects are exhausted.
- By the gate of samsara dissolving, one is free from the deluded object of birth place.
- By the pure gate of wisdom dissolving into the essence body, one is enlightened in the great primordial purity, the exhaustion of phenomena beyond concepts. [1]
