DM

Realm. Short for ཆོས་ཀྱི་དབྱིངས(Realm of Dharmas): the 'objective sphere' of Total Knowledge insomuch as it may be said to have one. Skt. *. Note that Realm with a capital letter is used to translate Tibetan dbyings, but the word should not be taken to connote a circumscribed space. The word 'realm' with a small 'r' translates Tibetan khams which may connote a particular realm ruled by one of the senses, circumscribed by the limitations of that sense. Sometimes, as in medicine, it means an 'element' distributed within a larger organism. Both dbyings (and byings, q.v.) and khams translate the same Skt. word *, but in different usages of that word. Germano, Poetic Thought 882, translates '*.' zab cing phra ba'i don dang skabs 'gar dgongs pa'i don. Btsan-lha.
