Terminology

Stamped: 7/20/2005 05:15:00 PM

In translations of Tibetan Buddhism, they use the term cognizanse for what I have come to call awareness. It is a more precise term as it clearly indicates the function of perceiving/experiencing, while awareness (or consciousness) could be perceived to indicate something that has substance or independent existence. Still, even as it is more precise, it also seems more elevated - something special. While what it refers to is that which is most ordinary and commonplace - that which we all are the most intimate with.
