檢視 Amrita 甘露 / 無死妙藥的原始碼

'''Amrita''' (Skt. ''amṛta''; Tib. [[བདུད་རྩི་]], ''dütsi''; [[Wyl.]] ''bdud rtsi'') — the Sanskrit word ''amrita'' means “deathless”; in Tibetan it is བདུད་རྩི་, ''dütsi'', because, it is said, “it is the medicine that overcomes the fearful state of death.” The ''[[Tantra]] of the Secret Cycle'' elaborates:
:To [[samsara]] which is like [[mara]] ([[བདུད་]], ''dü'')
:When the elixir (རྩི་, ''tsi'') of the truth of [[Dharma]] is applied,
:It is called nectar ([[བདུད་རྩི་]], ''dütsi'').

The medicinal nectar of amrita effects healing and [[siddhi]]s, or attainments, on every dimension. The [[Thirteenth Dalai Lama]] wrote: “All the siddhis, it is said, including the accomplishment of the [[vajra body]] of immortality, come as a result of the qualities of amrita.” The ''Eight Volumes on Nectar'' explain:
:Curing the four hundred and twenty-four illnesses
:And destroying the [[four maras]],
:It is the essence supreme, the king of medicines.
