English	[733] What follows is an explanation of the differences between the selflessness of phenomena in the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna, whether it is taught completely or not, and whether it is cultivated completely or not. In general, all sublime beings directly realize the subtle selflessness. Nevertheless, there[p.139]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. are differences in terms of how they ascertain it and the way they meditate on it. In the Hīnayāna, they ascertain reality with brief arguments, and then meditate on it; they do not have an expansive understanding of reality. In the Mahāyāna, as is stated in the Fundamental Verses of the Middle Way, there are limitless arguments that establish the lack of true existence with respect to each basis of analysis. An expansive understanding of reality occurs through meditating on this. For this reason, in the Hīnayāna one does not meditate on anything other than just antidotes to afflictive obscurations, while in the Mahāyāna, one needs to cultivate an extremely broad understanding that expands wisdom into reality in order to eliminate cognitive obscurations.

Anātman - The Buddhist teaching of "non-self" or "selflessness"—the understanding that there is no permanent, unchanging self or soul within living beings. Along with impermanence (anitya) and suffering (duḥkha), it is one of the three marks of existence that characterize all conditioned phenomena. Skt अनात्मन्  Tib བདག་མེད་པ་  Ch 无我  

Go to the page with the definition of 'selflessness'

Mahāyāna - Mahāyāna, or the Great Vehicle, refers to the system of Buddhist thought and practice which developed around the beginning of the Common Era, focusing on the pursuit of the state of full enlightenment of the Buddha through the realization of the wisdom of emptiness and the cultivation of compassion. Skt महायान  Tib ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོ།  Ch 大乘

Hīnayāna - The mainstream teachings and the early schools of Buddhism which primarily taught individual liberation through practice-focused renunciation and monasticism, considered lesser than the later movement of the Greater Vehicle (Mahāyāna), which professed enlightenment for all sentient beings and promoted compassion. Skt हीनयान  Tib ཐེག་དམན།  Ch 小乘

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

Āvaraṇa - Literally, that which obscures or conceals. Often listed as a set of two obscurations (sgrib gnyis): the afflictive emotional obscurations (Skt. kleśāvaraṇa, Tib. nyon mongs pa'i sgrib pa) and the cognitive obscurations (Skt. jñeyāvaraṇa, Tib. shes bya'i sgrib pa). By removing the first, one becomes free of suffering, and by removing the second, one becomes omniscient. Skt आवरण  Tib སྒྲིབ་པ་

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

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
