The Tibetan term byin rlabs and its precursor Sanskrit equivalent, adhiṣṭhana-commonly translated as "blessing," "grace," or "inspiration"-is an important concept in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. Translation choices used most frequently to date have semantic entailments that do not convey the full complexity of meaning found within the Sanskrit and Tibetan language terms, and consequently have limited the conceptual understanding of this term etically. This study presents a hermeneutic inquiry into the range of usage for these technical Buddhist terms, as they are found within the texts and praxis of these traditions.A range of texts is surveyed, starting with precedents from the Pali Tipiṭaka, looking at early usages of the Pali equivalent for adhiṣṭhana. We investigate usages in other Sravakayana sources and Mahayana sutras as found in the Tibetan Buddhist canon. Lastly, we examine instances in important Vajrayana commentarial works. Key thematic elements are identified and discussed as important for understanding the scope of usage of adhiṣṭhana and byin rlabs, respectfully. Due to the complex framing found around these terms, a functional definition, based on Tibetan sources, of what byin rlabs does is proposed as a more apt means of understanding the term. Finally, "transformative power" is suggested as the most accurate translation choice, should an English equivalent be needed, for most usages of byin rlabs.
