English	When the path is being established on a provisional basis, however, although phenomena are without origin on the ultimate level, it is impossible to refute their appearance on the relative level as things that do originate. Relatively, phenomena do have characteristics, and they are established by the kind of valid cognition that investigates conventional existence. Ultimately, however, such phenomena are not established as existing in the way[p.83]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. that they appear, which is why the rider "on the ultimate level” is always added as a qualification of phenomena that are refuted. It is therefore said [by the Svātantrikas] that phenomena do not exist on the ultimate level but are "unfailing” on the relative level. It is thus that each of the two truths is posited quite correctly on its own level; and, from the point of view of beginners, this is a far easier way to proceed.7Compare Mipham’s remark in his commentary to the Madhyamakālaṃkāra: "The intelligent should ask themselves whether they would be able to realize the profound view of the glorious Chandrakīrti (the Middle Way of primordial wisdom in meditative equipoise) without relying on the path set forth according to the present [that is, Svātantrika] approach.” Mipham, Teaching to Delight, 297. As Master Bhāvaviveka has said,

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

Madhyamaka - Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism.
