Question 2

Object of Expression

Answer 2

What is to be understood by means of a sign.

Question 3

Question 4

Question 5

Mind That Cognizes Connection

Answer 5

A mind that apprehends that a phenomenon is not cancelled by another phenomenon.

Question 6

Connection

Answer 6

That a phenomenon is not cancelled by another phenomenon.

Question 7

Mind That Apprehends the Connection of Identity

Answer 7

A mind that apprehends that two phenomena are different isolates that, by having the same nature, do not cancel each other.

Question 8

Connection of Identity

Answer 8

Two phenomena being different isolates and, by having the same nature, not cancelling each other.

Question 9

Mind That Ascertains Causal Connection

Answer 9

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

Question 10

Causal Connection

Answer 10

Two phenomena being different and, through being related as cause and result, not cancelling each other.

Question 11

Key Reasoning: Refuting Connection Ultimately

Answer 11

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.

Question 12

Key Reasoning: Refuting Causal Connection Ultimately

Answer 12

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.

Question 13

Key Reasoning: Establishing Connection from the Point of View of Conceptual Mind

Answer 13

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.

Question 14

Mind That Apprehends Contradiction

Answer 14

A mind that cognizes that a phenomenon neutralizes another phenomenon.

Question 15

Contradiction

Answer 15

That a phenomenon neutralizes another phenomenon.

Question 16

Mind That Apprehends Direct Contradiction

Answer 16

A mind that cognizes that a phenomenon negates its direct opposite

Question 17

Direct Contradiction

Answer 17

A phenomenon negates its direct opposite

Question 18

Mind That Cognizes Indirect Cognition

Answer 18

A mind that cognizes that a phenomenon negates something that includes the phenomenon to be directly negated.

Question 19

Indirect Cognition

Answer 19

That a phenomenon negates something that includes the phenomenon to be directly negated.

Question 20

Key Reasoning: Refuting Contradiction Ultimately

Answer 20

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.

Question 21

Key Reasoning: Establishing Connection from Point of View of Conceptual Mind

Answer 21

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.

Question 22

Key Reasoning: Concluding Remark

Answer 22

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.

Question 23

Contradictory Phenomena

Answer 23

That which is incompatible

Question 24

Directly Contradictory Phenomena

Answer 24

That which is mutually directly incompatible

E.g. impermanent phenomena and permanent phenomena

Question 25

Indirectly Contradictory Phenomena

Answer 25

That which is mutually indirectly incompatible

E.g. Cold and intensely billowing smoke

Question 26

Connected Phenomena

Answer 26

A phenomenon that ceases itself, if something different from the]at phenomenon has stopped

E.g. fire and smoke

Question 27

Identically Connected Phenomena

Answer 27

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

1. mutually inclusive: impermanent phenomena & produced phenomena
2. Unidirectional inclusion: vase & impermanent phenomena
3. Without inclusion: vase & emptiness

Question 28

Causally Connected Phenomena

Answer 28

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
