I just had a quick question about the attributions of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri to the basis. I was curious if they each represent the basis as a whole or if they represent the 'empty' and 'clear' aspects respectively, their union then representing the 'compassion' aspect as the indivisible union of emptiness and clarity?
Thanks

Compassion is the very base of Buddhahood

There is one Samantabhadra called Samantabhadra of the basis: but you have to understand there are five Samantabhadras talked about in Dzogchen tantras.⊙ Fimbul ⊙ wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 4:16 am I just had a quick question about the attributions of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri to the basis.

Could you say more about these five Samantabhadras? This is the first time I’ve ever heard this and I’m curious.
