三平等

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: three karmic agents are equal

Senses:

  • The esoteric doctrine that the three—body, mouth, and mind—are one and universal. Thus in samādhi the Buddha 'body' is found everywhere and in everything (pan-Buddha), every sound becomes a 'true word,' dhāraṇī or potent phrase, and these are summed up in mind, which being universal is my mind and my mind it, 入我我入 it in me and I in it. Other definitions of the three are 佛, 法, 儈 the triratna; and ⾀??, 佛, 衆生 mind, Buddha, and the living. Also 三三昧. Cf. 三密. See 大日經 1. 〔瑜伽論 T 1579.30.349a11, 成唯識論 T 1585.31.24b11〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Soothill]
