Tendrel

This Tibetan term "... embraces such a profusion of possible meanings and associations that it cannot easily be rendered with a single word. It is made up of ten, meaning 'support,' plus drel, meaning 'dependence, conditionality,' and thus indicates that all phenomena are linked with each other and dependent on each other. Therefore, nothing exists on its own, by its own power."

The above definition is excerpted from the Preface to
Buddhist Symbols in Tibetan Culture
by Loden Sherap Dagyab Rinpoche.
