English	The autocommentary says, “Conventional truth is posited due to the force of afflictive ignorance.”68Candrakīrti, Autocommentary on the “Introduction to the Middle Way” (Madhyamakāvatārabhāṣya, D. 3862), 255a. This does not say that apprehending true existence[p.56]The Profound Reality of Interdependence Duckworth, Douglas S., trans. The Profound Reality of Interdependence: An Overview of the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva. By Künzang Sönam. New York: Oxford University Press, 2019. is the reason for something to be posited as conventional; rather, it identifies the reason as being the apprehension of true existence that understands forms and so on as true from the perspective of any conventional mind. Nevertheless, everything that is held to be merely true from a perspective that apprehends true existence is not posited as conventional truth, for instance, like the basic nature and the twofold self. “Conventional” (kun rdzob) in the term “conventional truth” refers to the ignorance that apprehends true existence. “Customary” (tha snyad) in the term “customary truth” refers to all conventional truths, so there is a difference in extension between them.

Avidyā - Literally "unknowing," it refers to a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of the nature of reality. As such, it is considered to be the root cause of suffering and the basis for the arising of all other negative mental factors. Skt अविद्या  Tib མ་རིག་པ་  Ch 無明

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
