English	The object is someone else who can understand the meaning. How it is expressed is to say, after teaching the doctrine of emptiness, that you have the forbearance of a direct realization of the meaning of profound emptiness[p.220]The Great Hum Duckworth, Douglas, trans. The Great Hūṃ: A Commentary on Śāntideva's Way of the Bodhisattva. By Minyak Kunzang Sönam. New York, NY: Wisdom Publications, 2025. while not having realized emptiness yourself. Then you say, “I am teaching you out of love; you too can realize it directly, so meditate like this and you can become like me!” When this is motivated by any afflictive intention except jealousy, it is deceptive, false speech; it is a root downfall if the hearer understands what is said. If the one who says this is a fully ordained monastic with the bodhisattva vow, then it is said to be an occasion of defeat for both pratimokṣa and the Mahāyāna. This seems to be the case for the other eleven downfalls as well.

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

Bodhisattvasaṃvara - The ethical code or 'vow' taken by a practitioner on the Great Vehicle path.

Viparyāsa - The misperception or incorrect view a person has of reality, which must be overcome by having correct understanding and right view. The four well known incorrect views are seeing impermanent phenomena as permanent, dissatisfactory nature of things as blissful, impure things as pure, and illusory things as absolute and real. However, in the context of buddha-nature theory or other systems, there are also other forms of misconceptions which contradict with objective reality. Skt विपर्यास  Tib ཕྱིན་ཅི་ལོག  Ch 顚倒
