English	Here in Prāsaṅgika, experience is asserted to exist as merely a nominal designation, yet no self-experience or other-experience is asserted at all. For example, even though nominally designated production is accepted, neither self-production nor production from other is accepted. Also, a lamp is conventionally said to have the nature of luminosity, but it is not asserted to be either self-luminous or other-luminous. Here, self-experience is not accepted. Merely asserting conventionally that “I am aware myself ” is not the complete meaning of self-experience; when self-experience is asserted after analyzing experience in terms of either self-experience or other-experience,[p.114]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. then it is this kind of self-awareness that is negated in this context here. Other-experience is also nonexistent because if it did exist, there would be the problems mentioned above. Moreover, if other-experience is posited after analysis, it would necessarily be the case that other-experience would exist on its own. If that were the case, since experience and memory would be intrinsically other, then there would be the problem that it would not be possible to have a later memory like “I saw it before.”

Prabhāsvaratā - In a general sense, that which clears away darkness, though it often appears in Buddhist literature in reference to the mind or its nature. It is a particularly salient feature of Tantric literature, especially in regard to the advanced meditation techniques of the completion-stage yogas. Skt प्रभास्वरता  Tib འོད་གསལ་  Ch 光明

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

Svasaṃvedana - An important term for the Yogācāra that refers to a consciousness of consciousness itself, or how one knows that they know something. It was a hotly debated topic that was disputed by followers of the Madhyamaka. In Tibet it would later become a common Dzogchen term, though with the entirely different meaning of one's own innate awareness (rig pa), a crucial concept in the Dzogchen teachings.

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
