QUALITIES OF THE KNOWINGS (1) Classifications 42 a-c Sixfold clairvoyance manifests magic, The ear, mind, knowing previous lives, Death and rebirth, and knowing extinction Sixfold clairvoyance manifests the magic o f emanating objects and knowing how to move; the divine ear that through relative knowing associated with the ear consciousness hears all sounds whether near or far; knowing others’ m inds discussed above;315 knowing previous places or lives; knowing death and rebirth; and knowing extinction (2) Essence 42d These are the m ind o f liberation In general, these, all six clairvoyances, are the m ind of the path o f liberation (3) Distinctions of dharm as This has three points (a) W hat knowings they are a-d The four are knowing relative, And knowing minds is the five knowings Clairvoyance of extinction is Like power In particular, the four other than the third and sixth are know ing only the relative, because they are always defiled A nd the clairvoyance knowing o f others minds is five knowings: dharma knowing, subsequent knowing, path knowing, knowing others minds, and relative knowing The clairvoyance of knowing the extinction o f defilements is like the pow er o f knowing the extinction o f defilements: it is either six or ten knowings and is on all eleven levels (b) W hat levels they are on 43d Five are on four dhyanas The first five clairvoyances are on each of the four actual dhyanas Clairvoy ance of divine eye316 and ear are only o f the level of the first dhyana, but in terms o f how they are attained and their support, they are explained to be on four 52 YOUTHFUL PLAY AREA VII (c) W hat their spheres are 44a Their object is own and lower level Their, five clairvoyances s, object is on their own and lower levels, but the higher levels are not their object, because the superior is not the object of the inferior Therefore the object o f clairvoyance of magic is knowing how to go or make emanations on its own or lower levels, but not on higher The others are similar (4) How they are attained 44b Familiar is attained by detachment As far as the m anner of attainm ent o f the clairvoyances, those that are not fa miliar from previous close paths must be attained through training, but the familiar is attained merely by detachm ent In either case, manifesting them depends upon training ii Understanding their features This has two topics: (1) Understanding com m on features, and (2) Understanding their particular features (1) Understanding common features This has four topics: (a) Their inter section with the foundations of mindfulness, (b) Their intersection with virtue and so forth, (c) Their intersection with the three knowledges, and (d) Their intersection with the three miracles (a) Their intersection with the foundations of mindfulness 44cd The third one is the three foundations, And magic, ear, and eye are the first Because it focuses on m ind and mental factors, the third one, clairvoyance of knowing minds, is contained within the three foundations of mindfulness of feeling, mind, and dharmas A nd the three clairvoyances of magic, ear, and eye are the first foundation o f mindfulness of body, because they focus on form The focus of the clairvoyance of magic is the four external sense bases excluding sound The focuses of the consciousnesses of divine ear and divine eye are the sense bases of sound and form 530 QUALITIES OF THE KNOWINGS (b) Their intersection with virtue and so forth 45ab Clairvoyance o f ear and eye are neutral The rest are virtue The clairvoyances o f divine eye and divine ear are not afflicted, nor are they included within the four virtues, so they are unobscured neutral These two are full knowing that is concurrent with the eye or ear consciousnesses T he four rest are virtuous (c) Their intersection with the three knowledges This has two topics: (i) Overview, and (ii) Explanation (i) Overview 45b—d Three are knowledge, Because they stop the ignorance O f prior lives, et cetera The three clairvoyances o f knowing previous places, death and rebirth, and extinction of defilements are called the three nonlearners’ knowledges W hy is it only these three and not the others? you ask The reason is because re spectively they stop the totally deluded ignorance o f prior lives, et cetera, in cluding future lives and the present (ii) Explanation This has three points A Identifying the ultimate nonlearners' knowledge 46a The last one is nonlearners O f those three, the last one, clairvoyance of extinction of defilements, since it is undefiled, is both nonlearner and also nonlearners knowledge B The reason the other two are called by that term 46ab W hen two others Arise in their mindstream, they are so called The defiled first and second are not nonlearner by essence, but w hen these two others arise in their, the nonlearners, m indstream , they are so called, nonlearners’ knowledge 53i YOUTHFUL PLAY * AREA VII C Elaboration 46cd Although the learners may have these, their streams Have ignorance, so these are not called knowledge W hy are those clairvoyances not called learners’ knowledge? you ask Although the detached learners may also have these two, their m indstream s have ig norance, so these are not called knowledge in the sutras (d) Their intersection with the three miracles This has two points (1) General teaching 47a The first, third, sixth are miracles O f these clairvoyances, the first, magic, third, knowing others’ minds, and sixth, extinction o f defilements, are the three miracles This is because they are respectively miracles of magic, addressing, and teaching.317 (ii) Identifying the supreme among these b -d The miracle o f teaching is best, Since it is unconfused and brings Benefit and a pleasant fruit O f these three, the miracle o f teaching is best, since it arises only from the extinction o f afflictions and thus from its good cause, since is unconfused, and since it brings the benefit o f freeing beings from afflictions in this life, and since in the future it brings a pleasant fruit or result that is entirely free of duhkha The other two are not like that (2) Understanding their particular features This has three topics: (a) U n derstanding the clairvoyance of magic, (b) Understanding the clairvoyances o f eye and ear, and (c) Understanding the natures o f those attained by birth, etc (a) Understanding the clairvoyance of magic This has five topics: (i) Magic’s features, (ii) Identifying the m ind o f em anation, (iii) H ow that emanates, (iv) The essence o f the m ind of emanation, and (v) Classifications o f magic 532 QUALITIES OF THE KNOWINGS (i) Magic's features This has two topics: A General explanation of magic, and B Its actual features A G eneral explanation o f magic 48ab The magical is samadhi M otion And emanations are from that W hat is the essence o f magical clairvoyance? you ask T he essence of magical clairvoyance is samadhi because that is what creates it W hat is created? you ask The three m otions through the body, interest, and mental speed and em anations that did not previously exist are created from that samadhi B Its actual features This has two topics: i The distinctions between the three motions, and Distinctions of the two emanations The distinctions b e tw e e n the three m otions 48cd The Teacher moves with mental speed; Others: propulsion, interest T he Teacher, the Buddha, moves w ith m ental speed, because he can go long distances by merely thinking Others cannot this Those other than the Buddha have m otion through bodily propulsion, because their body propels them like birds They have m otion o f interest, because by imagining what is far to be close, they can go there quickly Distinctions o f the tw o emanations This has two points a Emanations that act in Desire 49ab In Desire, emanations are Four external sense bases Twofold In general, there are two types o f m ind o f emanation: emanations o f Desire and Form O f these, in Desire em anations are the four external sense bases of form, scent, taste, and touch by nature They are twofold: connected to one’s own being and connected to another being.318 b Emanations that act in Form 533 ... forth, (c) Their intersection with the three knowledges, and (d) Their intersection with the three miracles (a) Their intersection with the foundations of mindfulness 44cd The third one is the three... features, and (2 ) Understanding their particular features (1 ) Understanding common features This has four topics: (a) Their inter section with the foundations of mindfulness, (b) Their intersection...
