English	[The result is] (20) the understanding that the fourfold mistakenness of clinging to these four—the body and so on—as something pure, pleasant, permanent, and an identity functions as the cause for acquiring bad places of birth. Hence, one is not attached to a body and does not wish for a body. [856] This is the understanding of [the reality of] suffering. Through understanding feelings as suffering, one is free from craving. This means to relinquish the origin [of suffering]. Through seeing that the basis to which one clings—the mind—is impermanent, the clinging to “me” is reversed. Thus, one is free from the fear of nirvāṇa, from the concern that the self becomes extinct. Hence, one gradually manifests cessation. Through being aware that all phenomena are not different, that is, spacelike emptiness and illusionlike dependent origination, one is free from ignorance. This means to engage in the reality of the path.

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
