English	How are Buddhist practitioners to disprove the opinions of ordinary people? It could be argued that since ordinary people perceive origination and so on and are convinced of this, their view and the Buddhist view are diametrically opposed, and so there is no common ground on the basis of which one side could invalidate the other. One side denies the true existence of[p.89]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. everything while the other side affirms it. While this is so, however, there is an example of things that both sides consider to be illusory and not real. These are mirages, dreams, and so on, which do not truly exist even though they do appear. It is therefore possible to prove to ordinary worldly people that the same applies to everything else—forms and so on. They too are without intrinsic being. On the other hand, since phenomenal appearance necessarily implies lack of true existence, there is no commonly accepted example of something that, while appearing, is also truly established.20When something appears, there is always the possibility that it is an illusion and does not actually exist. There is nothing that, by merely appearing, demonstrates beyond doubt that it is actually present. The worldly view can do no more than assume the reality of what appears—and proceed on the basis of a working hypothesis. This is why worldly people are never able to prove to Buddhists that phenomena exist truly.

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
