English	Here, master [Śāntideva] gives [line 107a] “They are . . . .” This thought, “I see the consciousness of a Buddha” is one’s very own conception for which something other appears in such and such a way. Merely because something comes to someone else’s mind, it does not become existent on the seeming level. You might continue, “Buddhas themselves experience their own consciousnesses, which are their own seeming. Therefore, these exist on the seeming level.” [879] That this is not the case [is shown in line 107b] “But they do not exist in terms of their own seeming.” If you assert [the existence of] this seeming in Buddhas, then they have seeming consciousnesses. Therefore, they would not have attained precisely this ultimate consciousness [which is the very makeup of Buddhahood].[p.741]The Center of the Sunlit Sky Brunnhölzl, Karl.

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

Ātman - Though it can simply be used as the expression "I" or "me", in Indian thought the notion of self refers to a permanent, unchanging entity, such as that which passes from life to life in the case of people, or the innate essence (svabhāva) of phenomena. Skt आत्मन्  Tib བདག་  Ch 我;灵魂
