Object-universal (Skt. artha-sāmānya; Tib. དོན་སྤྱི་, dönchi, Wyl. don spyi)

Alternative Translations

  • general objective (Kapstein)
  • generic image (Hopkins)[1]
  • idea
  • meaning-generality (Klein)
  • objective generality (Kapstein)

Notes

  1. ↑ Matthew Kapstein says: "The term 'objective generality' is defined in a great many ways by later Tibetan thinkers. Recent interpreters of tibetan scholastic documents have sometimes used here the term 'generic image', but I think we should be on our guard lest we assimilate the concept to one of mental imagery." (p.91)
