Enlightened activity

Enlightened activity (T. phrin las ཕྲིན་ལས་) — the activity of the buddhas for the welfare of beings. It is characterized as being spontaneously accomplished, everlasting and all-pervasive (T. rtag khyab lhun grub རྟག་ཁྱབ་ལྷུན་གྲུབ་).

The Berzin glossary states:

The unceasing, unending, effortless activity of a Buddha, which helps bring all limited beings to higher rebirth, liberation, and enlightenment. Such activity does not require a Buddha actually doing anything: a Buddha's attainment itself exerts a positive influence on others to pacify disturbance, stimulate the growth of good qualities, bring disorder under control, and forcefully end any harm. Also translated as: "Buddha-activity."
