'''Three categories''' or '''three classes''' (Tib. ''dé sum''; [[Wyl.]] ''sde gsum'') — the three categories into which [[Mañjushrimitra]] divided the [[Dzogchen]] teachings he received from [[Garab Dorje]]:

#the [[outer category of mind]] (''semdé''),
#the [[inner category of space]] (''longdé''), and
#the [[category of pith instructions]] (''mengak dé'').
