Jewelled-peaks-realm awareness (Buddhism, Tibetan)
- Ratna-kuta
Description
This state of awareness is characterized by understanding the nature of equality. It is the antithesis to mental justifications for egoism, for self-interest, or for hoarding of material goods. It also dissolves greed for immaterial and spiritual goods, such as secret knowledge or unusual powers. This state is represented as the Southern Pure Land of Ratnasambhava who created the Jewelled-peaks realm. Through his wish-granting gem the Buddha's power of providing means is afforded. Subordinate to him, it is said, is the bodhisattva called [space-nature]
(akasa-garbha).
Context
In Tibetan Sakya Buddhism this is one of the states in the "Ascension Stages Game". In some sets it is numbered 76 on the board.
