==Significance of the Four Seals==
These are said to be the hallmark of the Buddha’s teaching, and it is often said that the mark of a real Buddhist is that he or she accepts these four. Of course, taking [[refuge]] is the real entrance to the Buddhist path, and that which serves to distinguish Buddhists from non-buddhists, but in terms of the [[View]], these four statements encapsulate the uniqueness of the Buddha’s teachings and really set the [[Buddhadharma]] apart from all other religions and philosophies.

Phillip Stanley has noted that the Four Seals do not appear in the early Tibetan sources on Buddhist terminology, the ''[[Mahavyutpatti]]'', ''[[Madhyavyutpatti]]'', or [[Kawa Paltsek]]'s ''Memoranda on Dharmic Enumerations'' (''chos kyi rnam grangs kyi brjed byang''). According to his research, the first Tibetan author to mention the four seals was [[Longchen Rabjam]] in his ''[[Treasury of Philosophical Tenets]]''. The scholar [[Butön]] mentions [[three seals]], an enumeration that is also to be found in Indian sources, such as [[Shakyaprabha]]'s ''Prabhāvatī'' (''<nowiki>'</nowiki>od ldan'').
