The Refutation of Arising from the Four Extremes—Section A 75 2.3.1.1.1.2.1.1.2.2.2.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.1.1 The actual explanation There are two ways of seeing every thing: the authentic way and the false way Therefore, every thing found holds two natures within The Buddha taught that authentic seeing sees reality’s precise nature And false seeing sees relative truth (23) There are those people who not understand the meaning of the treatise that describes the profound topic of dependent arising.19 With the habitual tendencies of clinging to things as being truly existent ripening in their minds, they fixate on things Not having heard that things’ very essence is empty by nature, while they sleep in this ignorance they mutter incomprehensibly that arising from other exists in the world and that the idea that it does not is contravened by the world’s direct valid cognition If the fixation of those who mutter incomprehensibly in this way is to be dispelled, two things must be explained to them: the way in which the terms false and true are respectively used to describe the occasions in this world of either being under the influence of confusion or not, and the way that the precise nature of reality cannot be expressed as being either true or false [241] In order to teach, among other things, the distinction between when worldly direct valid cognition controverts arising from other and when it does not, the Transcendent Conqueror explained how the two truths relate to all phenomena When he explained things from the perspective of the two truths, he could illuminate for his disciples the distinction between when something is a controvertible object and when it is not Thus, the Transcendent Conqueror presented the two truths with respect to all inner and outer things, like sprouts and everything else Genuine truth is described as being simply the authentic object of the noble ones’ original wisdom that sees what is authentic and true; there is no identity actually established there for conceptual mind to find Relative truth is the false object seen from the perspective of the conceptual mind whose eye of wisdom is completely covered by the cataract of ignorance, as is the case with ordinary beings It is therefore posited as being this conceptual mind The object perceived does not exist in the way that this mind perceives it to be 76 The Moon of Wisdom ,.J?-/-.%R?-0R-fJ.-.R-&R$-,3?-&.-.R/-.3-0-.%-!/-mR2-0:A-%R-2R-$*A?-/A:6B/-0
