Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

: Sydney eScholarship Repository: A Study of the Karma Chapter of the Abhidharmakośa Commentaries

´¡²ú³ó¾±»å³ó²âÄå (अभिधà¥à¤¯à¤�) (Tibetan: brnab sems) refers to “covetousnessâ€�.—The Eighth Karmapa defines covetousness as follows: “The actional path of covetousness is a perversion, nurturing a wish to own othersâ€� wealth after having become attached to it in a wrong manner and desiring to own it through force or theftâ€�.—From this definition, one can conclude that covetousness has to be generated by a motivation that is an attachment to own othersâ€� property. The Eighth Karmapa appears to conform to the understanding of the AbhidharmakoÅ›abhÄá¹£ya since he takes the same wording from it as the mChims mdzod does. However, he makes some elaborations including providing the longer quotation from a sÅ«tra which is only quoted in brief in the AbhidharmakoÅ›abhÄá¹£ya.
