Three higher trainings

The three higher trainings (Wyl. lhag pa'i bslab pa gsum) are the trainings in:

• discipline (Wyl. tshul khrims),
• meditation (Wyl. ting nge 'dzin) and
• wisdom (Wyl. shes rab).

These trainings are called “higher” because, unlike certain other non-Buddhist rituals and meditation practices, they actually lead to liberation and omniscience.
