Re: Translations of bodhi

In "Kindly Bent to Ease Us" H.V. Guenther translated bodhi (Tib. byang 
chub) as "luminous clarity and consummate perspicacity" - apparently 
based on an explanation of the term by Longchenpa the author of the text 
he was translating.

A real mouthful in English for two syllables of Sanskrit or Tibetan.
