    承德 (disambiguation)

    承德 could refer to:

  • Chengde (承德市), prefecture-level city in Hebei Province, PR China
  • Chengde County (承德县/承德縣), a county of Chengde City, Hebei Province, PR China
  • Jōtoku (承德), a Japanese era name
  • Ground (Dzogchen)

    In Dzogchen Ground (Tibetan: གཞི, Wylie: gzhi ; IAST: āśraya or sthāna) is the primordial state. It is an essential component of the Dzogchen tradition for both the Bonpo and the Nyingmapa. Knowledge of this Ground is called rigpa.

    Etymology

    The Tibetan: གཞི, Wylie: gzhi has been rendered as 'Base', 'Basis', 'Ground' and 'Ground of Being' amongst other English glosses. According to Dudjom the original Sanskrit-term is āśraya (IAST; Sanskrit Devanagari: आश्रय; Etymology: आ- √श्रि), but it could also be sthāna.

    Sam van Schaik states that gzhi is to be distinguished from kun gzhi. In the Seminal Heart series a distinction is made between kun gzhi, c.q. ālaya, "the base of it all", the samsaric basis of consciousness, of all the samsaric appearances; and gzhi, "the nirvanic basis known as the ground."

    Three qualities

    According to the Dzogchen-teachings, the Ground or Buddha-nature has three qualities:

  • ngo bo, "essence", openness or emptiness (Wylie: ngo bo stong pa ),
  • rang bzhin, "nature", luminosity, lucidity or clarity (as in the luminous mind of the Five Pure Lights) (Wylie: rang bzhin gsal ba ),
