Establishing mind-only,


5/8

he accomplished the world’s beneft.aving bowed with respect to that !"ni,now # ma$e some e%egesis.

5*he three 'orld-6pheres are mind-only’, is a system o) the !"ni(

some say that this is to be interpreted. /thers, tho"gh, consider it adefnitive statement. #n both positions, that system accomplishesthe beneft o) all s"7ering sentient beings. *here)ore it is said( 5heaccomplished the world’s beneft’. *he rest is easy to "nderstand. 1

#n the !ahāyāna, it is mostly emptiness that is e%plained8 as it hasbeen said( 5#n the !ahāyāna that has been shown in its entirety’. #nre)erence to that, he says

&

'hat appears and how it appears(emptiness is to be )ree )rom that. *he frst two are not )o"nd,while the non-e%istence o) that is )o"nd.

'hat appears means the two( apprehended and apprehender. *hatis called 5wrongly imagined’. 59ppears’ means the action o) appearance. *hat is called 5dependent’, beca"se it depends "ponca"ses and conditions. 5:ependent’, 5trans)ormation o) conscio"sness’ and 5dependent arising’, are synonyms. 5ow it

appears’ is the aspect o) apprehended and apprehender, within thedependent. From the beginning, everything is empty o) apprehended and apprehender. ence the e%planation o) emptinessis( 5emptiness is to be )ree )rom that’.

5*he frst two are not )o"nd’( what is apprehended is not there )romthe beginning, being bere)t o) one’s own e%istence as either one ormany. Even the apprehender conscio"sness is )alse, beca"se itdepends "pon what is apprehended. /n the other hand,conscio"sness )ree )rom apprehended and apprehender does e%ist. *here)ore, mind-only is not harmed. #n the cognition o) a oble /ne

in absorption, 5how it appears’, the dependent in the aspect o) thosetwo, is also not )o"nd. *his is beca"se it is not the s"pport o) thatcognition.

5'hile the e%istence o) that is )o"nd’( the non-e%istence o) theapprehended and the apprehender s"rely does e%ist. /therwise, thetwo wo"ld themselves e%ist. *heir non-e%istence, moreover, isemptiness( in the cognition o) a oble /ne in absorption, emptinessis to be )o"nd, since, oble /nes realie it. /therwise, they wo"ldnot even be oble /nes. &


6/8

Emptiness, moreover, is called parama-artha ;the highest re)erentor p"rpose


7/8

artha. 'hat is imagined, on the other hand, is not to be )o"nd, as itwas "ndone thro"gh earlier analysis itsel). +

'hat is wrongly imagined is itsel) the ca"se o) bondage. Yet, it doesnot e%ist. *hen, how does it not )ollow that all are already liberated=

*h"s he says

#ts l"minosity is not cognied,when water is not serene.#n the absorbed cognition o) a oble /ne,the l"mino"s mind is cognied.

5#ts l"minosity’, and so )orth( l"minosity is the nat"re o) water.evertheless, when water is not settled, that cannot be seen. 'henwater is settled, its "n-)abricated )orm is correctly realied. #n thesame way, mind arises a)ter having appropriated the saṁvṛti;obsc"ration or convention< o) two things, th"s it appears asaAicted. Yet the aAiction is only in terms o) saṁvṛti( the aspect o) apprehended and apprehender, corresponding to saṁvṛti, does note%ist "ltimately, )rom the very beginning.

5#n the absorbed cognition o) a oble /ne’ and so )orth( a oble /neis someone who has obtained the Bath o) 6eeing. is one pointed-ness o) the mind is called 5absorption’8 and, the absorption o) a

oble /ne is on emptiness only, beca"se he has obtained the Batho) 6eeing.

!oreover, emptiness is the absence o) the two. *hat itsel) is calledl"minosity, beca"se o) being non-obstr"ctive, >"st li$e water )orseeing. *he intended sense is that( when the mind is serene in thes"preme serenity o) absorption, the own-nat"re o) the mind iscorrectly cognied8 and not otherwise.

*hen, what are the steps o) p"rifcation= *o this, he says(

0

*a$ing what is p"re as a s"pport,p"rifcation is born. *here, the storeho"se o) all seedsis not to be )o"nd as seeds.

5*a$ing what is p"re as a s"pport’ and so )orth( emptiness itsel) iscalled 5what is p"re’, beca"se o) its nat"re o) being the )reedom)rom the two stains. *here)ore, the word 5p"re’ is a synonym )or

emptiness in the nat"re o) an absence.


8/8

Emptiness itsel) is called 5a s"pport’, beca"se o) its nat"re as thevery being o) the absence o) the two. *here)ore, the word 5s"pport’is a synonym )or emptiness as tr"e being. 6"ch a type o) emptinessis e%plained as a s"pport o) p"rifcation.

#n case o) e%cl"sive e%istence or non-e%istence, there wo"ld be nop"rifcation. #) there wo"ld be e%cl"sive e%istence, even "nderanalysis the two wo"ld tr"ly e%ist, and there)ore wo"ld not beadventitio"s. #) there wo"ld be e%cl"sive non-e%istence, no s"pporto) p"rifcation whatsoever wo"ld then be there.

5*he storeho"se o) all seeds’ and so )orth( conscio"sness iseight)old( the storeho"se conscio"sness, the aAicted mentalconscio"sness, mental conscio"sness, eye-conscio"sness, ear-conscio"sness, smell-conscio"sness, tong"e-conscio"sness, andbody-conscio"sness. *he root ca"se o) all o) these is the storeho"seconscio"sness, beca"se it is by nat"re a contin""m o) seed-instants.#n that, the seeds o) all cognitions are incl"ded, placed by the s"btlein@"ences o) previo"s cognitions. *here)ore, at the time o) liberation, it is not ft )or that to e%ist in the )orm o) seeds.

6ome say that it ceases8 or, it may e%ist in a stainless )orm. For )earo) proli%ity, what has been e%plained abo"t the eightconscio"snesses is e%tremely condensed( and this is only onee%ample. 0

Cy becoming )amiliar with the tho"ght o) the Dion o) the ā$yas,whatever merit is now born )or me,may by that the whole world, which is only mind,obtain happiness only.
