English	The Enumerators state the following: The self is [mere] consciousness. [The self’s] own nature is [called] “the individual”1644Skt. puruṣa, Tib. skyes bu. For more details on this system, see Appendix II. which is endowed with this [mere consciousness]. Due to [the individual’s] desire, the equilibrium of the triad of “motility,” “darkness,” and “lightness”1645Skt. rajas, tamas, sattva; Tib. rdul, mun pa, snying stobs. —that is, the permanent “nature”1646Skt. prakṛti, Tib. rang bzhin (also called “primal substance,” Skt. pradhāna, Tib. gtso bo).— becomes imbalanced. This is what is called universal flux1647Skt. jagat, Tib. ’gro ba. This is a synonym for the whole universe, indicating its dynamic character. [or “manifestation”], which involves arising and ceasing. [842] [In this process, first,] “the great one,” or “cognition,”1648Skt. mahat/buddhi, Tib. chen po/blo. [splits off] from its [original] unity with this permanent [“nature”].[p.700]The Center of the Sunlit Sky Brunnhölzl, Karl. The Center of the Sunlit Sky: Madhyamaka in the Kagyü Tradition. Including a translation of Pawo Rinpoche's commentary on the knowledge section of Śāntideva's The Entrance to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (Bodhicaryāvatāra). Nitartha Institute Series. Ithaca, NY: Snow Lion Publications, 2004. From [“cognition” manifests] “identification,”1649Skt. ahaṃkāra, Tib. nga rgyal. and thence the five “essential elements,”1650Skt. pañcatanmātra, Tib. de tsam lnga. such as the one of sound. These become shifted toward “cognition,” which is like a two-sided mirror. Thus, they appear for and are experienced by the self like reflections [in a mirror]. Apprehending [these objects] through “cognition” is what is sensed by “the individual.” Hence, the self is something that permanently has the nature of consciousness, such as [the consciousness] of sound.1651The main point that is refuted here is that the permanent self—the individual—is consciousness.

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
