The two types of conventional valid cognition (Tib. ཐ་སྙད་ཚད་མ་གཉིས་, tanyé tsema nyi; Wyl. tha snyad tshad ma gnyis) are according to Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche:

  1. conventional valid cognition of ordinary limited vision, or valid cognition of ordinary limited vision investigating the conventional level of reality (ma dag tshur mthong tha synad dpyod pa'i tshad ma), and
  2. conventional valid cognition of pure vision, or valid cognition of pure vision investigating the conventional level of reality (dag pa'i gzigs snang tha snyad dpyod pa'i tshad ma)
