Prabhavapyaya – Let this word be understood as a place or plane where all things originate and dissolve. Nevertheless, it is necessary to emphasize the transcendental idea that Prabhavapyaya is neither the “Mother of the World,” nor the womb of the Cosmos, nor the material cause of our planet Earth.
Jagad Yoni – The “womb of the universe” or space. It is a term of the Brahmanical books that refer to the material cause of the universe. It is equivalent to the Golden EGG, Pleroma, and the Greek CHAOS.
Alaya – (Sanskrit अलय, a, “not”; laya, from the verb-root li, “to dissolve”; hence Alaya means “the indissoluble.” Also alaya-vijnana. In Tibetan: kunshi namshe) In the Mahayana Yogachara school of Buddhism, alaya is considered to be a base function of consciousness, the ground consciousness or storehouse consciousness, the base consciousness of everything that exists, from which everything arises. It is said to contain the seeds or germs of experience. As a “storehouse” it is said to be karmically neutral but perpetuates habitual patterns.
Paramartha – (Sanskrit) From parama: uppermost, artha: meaning. Literally “supreme reality, supreme truth” or “absolute existence.” Paramartha is the Absolute, the Reality.
