| English | Without referring to—that is, without relying on—a mere imputed entity, one is also not able to apprehend or present the lack of this entity, which is emptiness. The reason is that if one does not rely on the conventional term [or notion of] space, one is not able to present space as [referring to] the lack of any entities.1785The usual reading of lines 139ab refers to the fact that a negation of something has to depend on a preceding notion of this thing; for example, one cannot talk or think about the nonexistence of a vase without having the notion of a vase in the first place. Pawo Rinpoche seems to focus on the necessity of using and communicating with conventional notions or terms—which are always imputations—in order to demonstrate what they refer to. Therefore, since sentient beings cling to the reality of delusive entities that are mere appearances, they plunge into cyclic existence. If one understands that these very [appearances] are unreal and illusionlike, this [understanding] surely serves as the remedy for the [clinging to reality]. However, emptiness—which is this imputation in the sense of the lack of such delusive [appearances] that appear as entities—is clearly delusive too. In the same way as an illusory lion kills an illusory elephant, this is [nothing more than] engaging in the [particular] reification of understanding emptiness as the remedy for the reification that conceives of real [entities]. |
