Three categories
Three categories or three classes (Tib. dé sum; Wyl. sde gsum) — the three categories into which Mañjushrimitra divided the Dzogchen teachings he received from Garab Dorje:
- the outer category of mind (semdé),
- the inner category of space (longdé), and
- the category of pith instructions (mengak dé).
