English	[808] Furthermore, also your [previous] answer [in line 41c], “You wonder why? These are established for both [of us]“ is uncertain as to the mode of positive concomitance. If something were true just because two disputing parties—oneself and someone different—provisionally assert that it is established, then also the four Vedas and such would be something to be accepted as true, because they are provisionally accepted by both Buddhists and non-Buddhists. If you say, “This is not the same, because the great vehicle is disputed as to whether it[p.668]The Center of the Sunlit Sky Brunnhölzl, Karl.

This is because the scriptures of the inferior vehicle are also disputed by the non-Buddhist forders, such as when they say, “Alas, what the Erudites1573Skt. Bahuśrutīya, Tib. mang thos pa. This is one of the eighteen Vaibhāṣika subschools. say is like the footprints of a wolf.”1574The teachings of this Buddhist school are thus compared to a story in ancient India that illustrates that there is often a lot of ado about nothing: In the dusty roads of a town, a man produced some fake footprints that looked like those of a wolf and then proclaimed everywhere that there was a dangerous wolf in town, thus terrifying everybody. There are also disputes about certain of the parts of these Buddhist scriptures between your own faction [within the lesser vehicle]—the Proponents of the Existence of All Bases.1575Skt. Mūlasarvāstivādin, Tib. gzhi thams cad yod par smra ba.

For an illuminating discussion of this topic, see Dalai Lama 1988, pp. 45–49.

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.

Kagyu - The Kagyu school traces its origin to the eleventh-century translator Marpa, who studied in India with Nāropa. Marpa's student Milarepa trained Gampopa, who founded the first monastery of the Kagyu order. As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa. Tib བཀའ་བརྒྱུད་

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
