BUD520 MW3 Ch 7-8 Classifications of Mind IV-V Flashcards
Mind That Apprehends an Object of Expression
A mind that apprehends what is to be understood by means of a sign.
Object of Expression
What is to be understood by means of a sign.
Mind That Apprehends a Means of Expression
A mind that apprehends what brings about an understanding of an object of expression.
Means of Expression
What brings about an understanding of an object of expression.
Mind That Cognizes Connection
A mind that apprehends that a phenomenon is not cancelled by another phenomenon.
Connection
That a phenomenon is not cancelled by another phenomenon.
Mind That Apprehends the Connection of Identity
A mind that apprehends that two phenomena are different isolates that, by having the same nature, do not cancel each other.
Connection of Identity
Two phenomena being different isolates and, by having the same nature, not cancelling each other.
Mind That Ascertains Causal Connection
A mind that apprehends that two phenomena are different and, through being related as cause and result, do not cancel each other.
E.g. mind apprehends rose seed and rose flower connection
Causal Connection
Two phenomena being different and, through being related as cause and result, not cancelling each other.
Key Reasoning: Refuting Connection Ultimately
All phenomena that have connections of identity do not have the connections ultimately, because with regard to phenomena that are one in nature, two phenomena within the actual object are impossible, and of two phenomena within the actual object are not possible, connection within the actual object is impossible too.
Key Reasoning: Refuting Causal Connection Ultimately
Entities that are causes and results are not connected in terms of the ultimate object, because if there is an earlier and a later entity, this contradicts simultaneity, and if they are simultaneous, this contradicts causality.
Key Reasoning: Establishing Connection from the Point of View of Conceptual Mind
From the point of view of conceptual mind, the connection is established, because connection is impossible with the actual object, but due to habituation of latent tendencies of conceptuality, conceptions about connections of identity and about causal connections arise.
Mind That Apprehends Contradiction
A mind that cognizes that a phenomenon neutralizes another phenomenon.
Contradiction
That a phenomenon neutralizes another phenomenon.
Mind That Apprehends Direct Contradiction
A mind that cognizes that a phenomenon negates its direct opposite
Direct Contradiction
A phenomenon negates its direct opposite
Mind That Cognizes Indirect Cognition
A mind that cognizes that a phenomenon negates something that includes the phenomenon to be directly negated.
Indirect Cognition
That a phenomenon negates something that includes the phenomenon to be directly negated.
Key Reasoning: Refuting Contradiction Ultimately
Contradiction does not exist in entities that are actual objects, since concerning neutralized and it’s neutralizer, when one is an entity, the other is a nonentity.
Key Reasoning: Establishing Connection from Point of View of Conceptual Mind
To a conceptual mind contradiction exists, because contradiction is impossible within the actual object, but due to habituation to latent tendencies of conceptuality, conceptions of contradiction involving the negation of what is opposite or something that includes it arise.
Key Reasoning: Concluding Remark
For those who establish logical proofs and refutations, it is of utmost importance to establish contradiction and connection, because all presentations of proofs and refutations without exception depend upon contradiction and connection.
Contradictory Phenomena
That which is incompatible
Directly Contradictory Phenomena
That which is mutually directly incompatible
E.g. impermanent phenomena and permanent phenomena
Indirectly Contradictory Phenomena
That which is mutually indirectly incompatible
E.g. Cold and intensely billowing smoke
Connected Phenomena
A phenomenon that ceases itself, if something different from the]at phenomenon has stopped
E.g. fire and smoke
Identically Connected Phenomena
A phenomenon that ceases itself, if something different from that phenomenon, that is not different in entity, has stopped
Three Inclusions of Identically Connected Phenomena
- mutually inclusive: impermanent phenomena & produced phenomena
- Unidirectional inclusion: vase & impermanent phenomena
- Without inclusion: vase & emptiness
Causally Connected Phenomena
A phenomenon that ceases itself, if something that is different from that phenomenon, and us different in entity, has stopped.
E.g fire and smoke
