露地 [py] lou4di4 [wg] lou-ti [ko] noji [ja] ロジ rouji ||| 'Dew-laden ground,' 'outdoors,' 'outside.' An outside where there is nothing. (2) To sit in an uncovered spot (aabhyavakaa`sika) (3) The realm of freedom from defilement. A condition of not being infected with the passions. This meaning comes from the use of this term as a metaphor in the story of the burning house in the Lotus Sutra. When the father was able to get his children to leave the house, it was outside that they saw the Large White Ox Carts. So 'outside' comes to represent a place of peace of mind cut off from the afflictions of the triple realm. [Credit] acm(entry) cw(py)
