Clear Words says: “Conceptuality is the movement of mind. Since it is free from this, reality is nonconceptual.”217Candrakīrti, Clear Words, 120a. It explains this, citing a sūtra that says: “That which does not have the movements of mind . . . .”218Bodhisattva Basket (Bodhisattvapiṭaka, H. 56, vol. 37), 320a; Candrakīrti, Clear Words, 120a. Also, the Introduction to the Middle Way says: “Without concepts, until the end of existence you . . . .”219Candrakīrti, Introduction to the Middle Way, XI.27. In the autocommentary it frequently says that the meaning of the cessation of mind is the cessation of concepts. It also describes gnosis and wisdom that is free from the eye disease of ignorance. Nāgārjuna says:

Sūtra - Sūtras mainly refer to the discourses delivered by the Buddha and his disciples, and the Sūtra corpus is one of the three main sets of teachings which form the Buddhist canon. Skt सूत्र  Tib མདོ།  Ch 佛经

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

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.

Prajñā - One of the key terms for wisdom or knowledge, most often having the sense of insight, transcendent knowledge, or perhaps gnosis. In some contexts it can also refer to cognition or intellectual understanding. Skt प्रज्ञा  Tib ཤེས་རབ་  Ch 般若

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
