English	Such remarks do no more than reveal the level of the commentator’s understanding. For in this Madhyamaka tradition, it is indeed said that the self-cognizing mind is denied, and not only on the ultimate, but also on the conventional, level. The glorious Chandrakīrti says very clearly in the autocommentary to the Madhyamakāvatāra, “However, even according to the conventional level of the world, memory that has for its cause the self-cognizing mind is not at all possible.”186Chandrakīrti, Autocommentary, p. 228:6. Furthermore, if[p.280]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. the self-cognizing mind is not denied on the conventional level, it follows that the thing that is known, the agent, and the action itself of knowing (rig bya rig byed rig pa’i las) would all three exist from their own side. Since there is no way to overturn this consequence, the arguments to the effect that [if the self-cognizing mind were denied on the conventional level] one’s mind would be a hidden object for itself, or that there would be no possible evidence for the possession of a mind, or that this would do away with the conventional cognizance of extramental things—all such pointless refutations are to be rejected. But even though there is no self-cognizing mind (as stated above),187Shāntideva, Bodhicaryāvatāra, chap. 9, v. 23f., p. 140. it is still necessary to explain the occurrence of memory, and this must be done without mixing up the higher and lower tenet systems.188That is, the Madhyamaka and Cittamātra, respectively.

Madhyamaka - Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.

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

Cittamātra - Though it is sometimes used synonymously with Yogācāra, it is in fact one of the more prominent philosophical theories associated with this school. It asserts that the objects in the external world with which we interact are actually mentally created representations appearing as those objects. The character of these perceptions is predetermined by our own karmic conditioning that is stored in the ālayavijñāna. Skt चित्तमात्र  Tib སེམས་ཙམ་
