Vocabulary Addictions = Afflictive Emotions or Delusions Mere Conditioned = Dependent Origination Mental Projections with Base (Nation or Forrest) and without Base (Intrinsic I) Dependent Designated Creations: West and East; Tall and Short; Creations and Destructions What occurs conditioned by misknowledge (intrinsic established)? Chain of 12 links of Dependence Origination. Transcend Suffering = Afflictive Emotions cannot reach you (due to view of absence of intrinsic existence or wisdom) Two Modes of Perception: 1. Unmistaken and 2. Mistaken Impermanent as Permanent ; Dependent as Independent; Illusion-like as Substantial Four Noble Truths 1. The Truth of Suffering 1. Impermanence 2. Suffering 3. Emptiness 4. Selflessness ___________ Reverence to the Wisdom Hero, Manjushri! Bowing to the author of The Reason Sixty Which dispels the two extremes, Following the Victor’s path of reasoning, I will elucidate it with the Middle Way. 0. Reverence to the Insight Hero, Mañjushrī! I bow to the Lord of Sages, (Able One) Who proclaimed relativity, (Mother of all wisdom) The way by which he abandoned [Real] creation and destruction! (JL) 1. Those whose intellect transcends Being and nothing, and does not dwell [between], Realize the meaning of “the conditioned,” Which is profound and nonperceived. (JL) 2. [You] who have eliminated nihilism, The source of all ills, Should attend to the reasons why Absolutism must be rejected as well. (JL) 3. If [conventional] things [sound, form, taste smell, texture] were [really] true, As the naïve construe them, Then why not accept Their annihilation [nothingness] or non-entity as liberation? (JL) 4. [You] cannot be liberated through absolutism, Nor escape this existence through nihilism. Great souls are liberated By fully understanding being and nothing. (JL) 5. Those who do not see reality presume The [duality of] life-cycle and nirvana; Those who do see reality do not presume Either a life-cycle or a nirvana. (JL) 6. Of the two, existence and nirvana, Neither is known to exist [intrinsically]; The full understanding of existence Is what is called “nirvana.” (JL) 7. [The naïve] imagine cessation As the annihilation of an originated being; While the wise understand it As like the ceasing of a magical illusion. (JL) 8. If cessation happens through annihilation, Not by fully understanding creations, Who would be there to experience it? How could a destroyed [subject] come to be? (JL) 9. [You claim:] “If the aggregates have not ceased, Though addictions cease, there is no nirvana.” When here [you] have [intrinsically] ceased, Only then, [absurdly,] will [you] be freed. (JL) 10. When one discerns with precise intuition What occurs conditioned by misknowledge, One does not experience anything, Whether created or ceased. (JL) 11. That is immediate nirvana, And that very thing is “attaining the goal.” If, after that insight into the truth, One discovers any particular here, (JL) 12. Imagining any sort of creation, In anything, however subtle, Such an unwise individual Does not see the meaning of “conditioned arisal.” (JL) 13. If the monk who exhausts his addictions Completely eliminates cyclic life, Then why do the perfect buddhas Not teach the beginning of such [cyclic life]? (JL) 14. If [you claim] a beginning, then, definitely, You are embracing a [deluded] view. What beginning or end could there be To that which arises interdependently? (JL) 15. How could something primordially created Subsequently be eliminated? Free from initial and terminal limits, Beings appear like illusions. (JL) 16. When an illusion manifests Or when it is dispelled, One who knows the illusion is not confused; One ignorant of the illusion is entranced by it. (JL) 17. One whose intellect sees existence As similar to an illusion or mirage Is not deceived by [extremist] views Of an ultimate beginning or end. (JL)
