Note

In discussing the interface between yid and yid kyi rnam par shes pa (sixth of thirty-two), Padmasambhava defines each as the source of all cognitive fluctuations and the psychic current that stirs them up. He then shows how both diffuse naturally into the chos nyid once the fluctuations are recognized for what they are.
