Folks--please excuse my sloppiness. I should know my memory
plays tricks. The terma symbol is _not_ a mini-pyramid. Turning
to my copy of _The Tibetan Book of the Dead_ (Shambhala Press, 1992)
I find it to be--as I should have known--a kind of "division
symbol" icon: an open circle above and below a horizontal bar.
I think I was dazed by seeing the copy machine's "Toner Out"
symbol too often!
