English version: If past karma is exhausted, one will still receive other retributions, which establishes the cycle of birth and death. Explanation: There are two types of habitual tendencies of past karma. First, each seed has two meanings: that which is discriminated is the habitual tendency of past karma; that which can discriminate is the attachment to the habitual tendency of past karma. 'That which' is the nature of discrimination, because it can serve as the dharma gate for generating seeds, so this dharma gate is called the habitual tendency of past karma, having a name but no substance. 'That which can' is the dependent nature (paratantra-svabhāva), which is precisely the seed for generating karma, called the attachment to the habitual tendency of past karma, having substance but not being real. Second, the two types of habitual energies are also like this. Each affliction (kleśa) has two meanings: that which is discriminated is the coarse and heavy habitual energy, serving as the dharma gate for generating afflictions, having a name but no substance; that which can discriminate is precisely the essence of affliction, also having substance but not being real, being the dependent nature. However, the discrimination and dependence discussed here are different from the names in the three non-natures (sva-lakṣaṇa-niḥsvabhāvatā). In the three non-natures, discrimination is called semblance, and dependent nature is called coarse and heavy, because the nature of discrimination itself has semblance and can serve as the dharma gate for afflictions, so it is called affliction. The dependent nature is precisely the essence of affliction, capable of receiving the retribution of birth and death, so it is called coarse and heavy. Here, it is to clarify that the semblance of the nature of discrimination is coarse and obvious, so it is called coarse and heavy. The dependent nature can grasp the previous semblance, so it is called semblance, each having its own meaning. If one wants to change the names in these three non-natures, that is also fine. Record: Discriminating in this way, if one discriminates categories like this, this category is called the nature of discrimination. This only has a name, and the substance that the name reveals is actually non-existent. The substance that this reveals is actually non-existent. This discrimination arises because it depends on others, so it is named the dependent nature. These two natures, before and after, have never been separated, which is the real nature. If they are separated, the meaning of Consciousness-only (Vijñānavāda) would not be established, because there would be a difference between the object and the consciousness. Because they are not separated, Consciousness-only has no realm of objects. Without a realm of objects, consciousness also becomes non-existent. Because the realm of objects is non-existent, consciousness is also non-existent, so the meaning of Consciousness-only is established, and this can be established. Therefore, the former nature is neither completely the same nor completely different from the latter nature. If it is determined to be the same or different, there will be faults. Why? If discrimination and dependence are determined to be the same, then the nature of discrimination will never not be included in the five aggregates of dharma (pañca dharma skandha), and the dependent nature should also be non-existent forever. If that is the case, there would be no birth, death, or liberation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The existence of persons and dharmas is not inherently fixed. From the perspective of the two emptinesses (emptiness of person and emptiness of dharma), it cannot be said that they do not exist at all. Therefore, it cannot be said that they are inherently existent, nor can it be said that they are completely non-existent, so the nature of 'no-self-nature' is emphasized again. These three no-self-natures are the true state of all dharmas. Because they are far from the attachment to 'existence', they are called 'constant'. In order to highlight these three no-self-natures, the meaning of Vijnanavada (Consciousness-only) is explained. If a practitioner's wisdom does not abide in this principle of Vijnanavada during cultivation, then the various confusions arising from the latent influence of the two attachments (attachment to self and attachment to dharma) cannot be eliminated. Because the fundamental attachment is not eliminated, true liberation cannot be attained. Therefore, for this reason, the teaching of the One Vehicle is established, so that everyone can learn the Bodhisattva path. If someone thinks that only the manifestation of consciousness exists and is attached to this, then if this attachment is not abandoned, one cannot truly enter the realm of Vijnanavada. If a wise person no longer clings to external objects, neither the subject nor the object of perception will appear. At this time, the practitioner is considered to have truly entered the realm of Vijnanavada. Why? Because through the practice of contemplation, skillfully cutting off various false attachments, this is what is called 'no attainment', neither mind nor object. This wisdom is called transcendental non-discriminating wisdom, that is, there is no difference between object and wisdom, which is called Suchness-wisdom, also called Transformation Basis (Paravrtti). Abandoning dependence on birth and death, relying only on the principle of Suchness. Because both coarse afflictions and attachments have been exhausted. Coarse afflictions refer to the nature of discrimination, and attachments refer to the dependent nature, both of which are exhausted. This is what is called the realm of no outflows, that is, the inconceivable realm, which is truly beautiful, is the permanent fruit, is transcendental happiness, is the body of liberation. Among the three bodies (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya), it refers to the Dharmakaya (Dharma Body). It is explained that the consequences arising from the latent influence of the two attachments (afflictions of views and afflictions of thoughts), or the inability to eliminate them, refers to the latent afflictions of these two attachments, which can serve as seeds to produce countless delusions. These delusions all take the fundamental consciousness as their root. If the root is not eliminated, the branches cannot be cut off. Just as the *Shrimala Sutra* says, if the abode of ignorance is not cut off, it cannot be ultimate, and if the boundless four abodes of affliction are not cut off, it cannot be ultimate. If a wise person no longer clings to external objects, neither the subject nor the object of perception will appear, the external object mentioned here is the realm of Vijnanavada. The distraction of Vijnanavada is because there is no external object, so consciousness does not exist either. Since consciousness does not exist, then the mind that perceives Vijnanavada does not exist either, so it is said that neither the subject nor the object of perception will appear. The two appearances mentioned here only refer to the external objects manifested by the two consciousnesses. Since the external object no longer exists, it is said that this is the ultimate state of the transformation of consciousness. *Treatise on the Transformation of Consciousness* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
