General definition (in Buddhism)
: Google Books: Foundations of Indian Psychology膧dar艣aj帽膩na (啶嗋う啶班啶多啷嵿啶距え) or simply 膧dar艣a refers to the 鈥減ristine wisdom that is mirror-like鈥� which represents one of the five inseparable aspects of pristine wisdom in Buddhist Psychology.鈥擳he 鈥榩ristine wisdom that is mirror-like鈥� (腻诲补谤艣补箩帽腻苍补) reflects the void sphere of reality (诲丑补谤尘补诲丑腻迟耻) in its fullness, without getting perturbed into disturbing emotional states (through karmic tendencies) and habitual colouring (through v膩sana). This is the aspect of unwavering clarity. This is the capability behind the aggregate of 惫颈箩帽腻苍补. The grounded context that formulates 惫颈箩帽腻苍补 (qualified knowing) dissolves by the recognition free from confusion. The power that drives the affliction of hatred is transformed into its purified form as the power for unperturbed clear experience.
