English	In general, how to understand the subtle and coarse selflessness is like this: Most Buddhist schools of the Svātantrika and below similarly maintain the coarse selflessness of persons to be the emptiness of a person that intrinsically exists as permanent and singular, and maintain the subtle selflessness of persons to be the emptiness of a person existing as a self-subsisting substance. Yet the Vātsīputrīyas do not accept this kind of subtle selflessness of persons. Vaibhāṣikas and Sautrāntikas do not accept the selflessness of phenomena, so they claim that the subtle selflessness and the subtle selflessness of persons have the same meaning. Proponents of Mind-Only claim the coarse selflessness of phenomena to be the emptiness of external objects composed of partless particles; they claim the subtle selflessness of phenomena to be the emptiness of the separate substances of a material form and the source of knowledge apprehending that form, for instance.

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

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

Cittamātra - Though it is sometimes used synonymously with Yogācāra, it is in fact one of the more prominent philosophical theories associated with this school. It asserts that the objects in the external world with which we interact are actually mentally created representations appearing as those objects. The character of these perceptions is predetermined by our own karmic conditioning that is stored in the ālayavijñāna. Skt चित्तमात्र  Tib སེམས་ཙམ་

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
