≫ ösel (Tibetan: འོད་གསལ་, ösel; Wylie: ’od gsal ; Sanskrit: प्रभास्वर, prabhāsvara “brilliant, bright, shining”, also आभास्वर, ābhāsvarā “shining, bright” ; Chinese: 光明, pinyin: guāngmíng, “radiance” also 光徹, pinyin: guāngchè, “brilliant”) = clarity, luminosity; clear light. Thrangu Rinpoche notes that when referring to the clarity or luminosity of Buddhanature, “luminosity does not refer to physical light or some kind of physical radiance. In this context, luminosity simply refers to the cognitive capacity or awareness, which is the defining characteristic of a mind.” Also refers to the “clear light” practice that is the fourth of the Six Yogas of Naropa. In the book “Kindness. Clarity, and Insight” (pp. 210-211), HH The 14th Dalai Lama writes: “In the Highest Yoga Tantra system of the New Translation Schools. The fundamental mind which serves as the basis of all the phenomena of cyclic existence and nirvana is posited as the ultimate truth or nature of phenomena (dharmatã, chos nyid); it is also sometimes called the “clear light” (ābhāsvarā, ‘od gsal) and uncompounded (asaṃskṛta, ‘dus ma byas). In Nyingma it is called the “mind-vajra”; this is not the mind that is contrasted with basic knowledge in the division into basic knowledge (rig pa) and mind (sems) but the factor of mere luminosity and knowing, basic knowledge itself. This is the final root of all minds, forever indestructible, immutable, and of unbreakable continuum like a vajra [or diamond]. Just as the New Translation Schools posit a beginningless and endless fundamental mind, so Nyingma posits a mind-vajra which has no beginning or end and proceeds without interruption through the effect stage of Buddhahood. It is considered “permanent” in the sense of abiding forever and thus is presented as a permanent mind. It is permanent not in the sense of not disintegrating moment by moment but in the sense that its continuum is not interrupted — this being analogous to the statement in Maitreya’s Ornament for Clear Realization (Abhisamayālaṃkāra, mngon rtogs rgyan) that a Buddha’s exalted activities are considered permanent in that they are inexhaustible. It is also non-produced in the sense that it is not adventitiously and newly produced by causes and conditions [since its continuum has always existed].”
