果分可說

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: the aspect of final realization is effable

Senses:

  • In the Esoteric Teaching, the belief that the perfection of the effect aspect (i.e. the Buddha-realm as the 'effect' ) is something that can be explained; this is in contrast to the theory that only the causal aspects of Buddhahood can be explained—the stages of practice that are regarded as the causes of awakening can be explained, but the ultimate realm that is the aspect of practice cannot be explained.
