1. The term garbha can refer to different things, depending on the context. “Womb,” “embryo,” “heart,” and “essence” are all possible translations. Historically, Tibetans opted for the translation snying po, which has the connotation of being an essence or the heart of a matter. For a discussion of this term see Zimmermann (2002), pp. 40–41.
