| English | From the point of view of reasoning that examines the conventional level, phenomena do appear as established by their own nature, but how does it follow from this that they are truly existent? They must correspond to what is established by valid cognition on the conventional level. If something is not even established from the point of view of reasoning that investigates the conventional, it will have no existence whatever. Therefore, if any phenomenon established according to the way that it appears—or according to its characteristics, or according to its own particular way of being (for example, being hot in the case of fire, or being wet in the case of water)—were able to withstand analysis when examined by reasoning aiming at the ultimate, then its nature and its characteristics would indeed be established truly. But to be unable to withstand analysis and yet to appear unerringly is precisely the way that phenomena are established on the conventional level. Therefore when a statement occurs to the effect that all phenomena arise merely through the imputation of cognitive activity, this is a sign that an analysis aiming at the ultimate has been made. For it is said repeatedly in the teachings that if one is a Madhyamika, one should certainly affirm that phenomena are just cognitive imputations.19Note that, in establishing the Madhyamaka view, it is impossible not to evoke the two truths through conducting an analysis aiming at the ultimate truth. All Madhyamikas must do this, saying that, from the ultimate point of view, conventional phenomena are but the imputations of the mind. And even though the Svātantrikas do not emphasize this point (for they do in fact investigate conventional phenomena for pedagogical reasons), they do the same thing. Conversely, although the Prāsaṅgikas say emphatically that conventionalities are mental imputations, this position is not peculiar to them. Therefore, this way in which ascertainment arises in postmeditation with regard to all conventional phenomena is common to all Madhyamikas. It is not an exclusively Prāsaṅgika way of speaking about the conventional. |
