Therefore, it is not reasonable that nirvāṇa is the seeming; it is just nirvāṇa. [876] Why? It does not exist based on one’s own seeming, because all one’s own conceptions have ceased in it. You might wonder, “How then should it [exist] due to the seeming of others?” This is stated in [lines 107cd] “Later, when this has been verified . . .” The conceptions of others appear to yogins through dependent origination: “If this exists, that originates.” Since [yogins] verify the conceptions of others during the aftermath of the actual part of their main meditative concentration, for the yogins, the seeming exists. The vajralike meditative concentration is the Dharma Body of the Buddhas, which is the nonobservation of any phenomenon. From this [manifests] the Body of Complete Enjoyment, the six supernatural knowledges, and omniscience.

Madhyamaka - Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā. Skt मध्यमक  Tib དབུ་མ་  Ch 中觀見

Kagyu - The Kagyu school traces its origin to the eleventh-century translator Marpa, who studied in India with Nāropa. Marpa's student Milarepa trained Gampopa, who founded the first monastery of the Kagyu order. As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa. Tib བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
