Buddha & the Gospel of Buddhism
Sufi: a Persian mystic.
Sukha, P, S : good, pleasure, happiness, weal.
Sukhavaii: the Western Paradise of Amitabha, the highest heaven,
the ‘ Buddha field ’ where souls are ripened for Nirvana.
Sutta (sutra)-. ‘thread.’ A literary form, in Buddhist scriptures,
words of the Buddha ‘ strung together ’ as a sermon or dialogue;
in Hindu scriptures, a connected series of aphorisms.
Svabhava, S : ‘ own-nature.’ The self-existent, the source of spontaneity;
a term analogous to ‘ I am that I am,’ applied to the Supreme
Buddha (Adi-Buddha of the later Mahayana).
Sva-dharma, S : ‘ own norm,’ peculiar duty of the individual or social
group.
Tanha (trishna): desire, coveting, craving, an eager wish to obtain or
enjoy, interested motive. In this sense Buddhism teaches the
extinction of desire (in Hinduism, ‘renunciation of the fruits of
works ’), but Tan'ha does not cover aspiration or good intention,
which are included in the ‘ Right Desire ’ of the Eightfold Path.
Tao: the absolutist philosophy of the Chinese philosopher Laotse.
The term Tao has a connotation similar to that of Nirvana and
Brahman.
Tapas, S : burning, glow, toil, torture.
Tara : the feminine counterpart of a Bodhisattva, a saviouress.
Tathagaia, S: Thus-gone or Thus-come, He-who-has-thus-attained, a
term used by the Buddha in speaking of himself.
Tathagata-garbha, S : ‘ Womb-of-Those-who-have-thus-come.’ The
Dharma-kaya, or Suchness, as viewed from the standpoint of the
relative and regarded as the origin of all things; mother of the
Buddhas and all sentient beings; Nature as potential matter,
Maya, Prakriti; Prajnaparamita.
Tattva, bhutatathata, S : Suchness, Ground, Substrate, the inevitability
and universality of things, the source of spontaneity. The quality
of infinity in every particular, of the whole in the part.
Tavatimsa: Heaven of the Thirty-three Gods, one of the Six Lower
Heavens.
Thera, P : an elder ; amongst the Brethren, an Arahat.
Theravada, P : ‘ word of the elders.’ By this term the early Buddhists
distinguish their belief from that of the Mahayanists. The
Theravada texts constitute the Pali canon.
Then, P : feminine of Thera.
