English	If the Chittamatrins believe that the mind is a really existent thing, how[p.104]The Wisdom Chapter Fletcher, Wulstan, and Helena Blankleder (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Wisdom Chapter: Jamgön Mipham's Commentary on the Ninth Chapter of "The Way of the Bodhisattva." Boulder, CO: Shambhala Publications, 2017. can the aspects be separate from it?31Here, the Tibetan texts reads ji ltar na rnam pa de gzhan min te, which means "how can the aspects not be separate from it?” But this reading is incoherent with the argument that follows. The rhetorical question is naturally "How can the aspects be separate from it?” We suggest therefore that the Tibetan text contains a scribal error and that the verb yin should be substituted for its negative form min. For they say that the aspects are not real things whereas the mind is; and there is no possible basis common to existent and nonexistent things. Frightened by this objection, the Chittamatrins are forced to admit that the aspects are not, after all, separate from the mind. But in that case, it follows that the mind is unreal too—being at one with its unreal aspects.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
