Note

In discussing dbang bzhi in the context of attainments on the 10th bhūmi (see under sa bcu), Klong chen pa quotes two of Maitreya's works which elucidate the dbang. Note that these dbang bzhi are attainments that relate specifically to the tenth bhūmi and are not to be confused with the four tantric empowerments.

Note

In discussing the experiential unfoldment of the ten Bodhisattva bhūmis, 'Jigs med gling pa appropriates Klong chen pa's presentation from the Shing rta chen po {116031} almost verbatim (see under the term sa). He does, however, occasionally include subject matter from canonical sources to supplement Klong chen pa's account, as seen in the following passage on the topic of the four dbang that are attained on the eighth to tenth bhūmis.
