The Sāṁkhya teachers, on the other hand, say that they know the truth, namely, that the result exists in the cause. But in that case, since this knowledge exists in the minds of ordinary people too (the causes for it being complete), how is it that they do not see it? For according to Sāṁkhya teaching, the knowledge that understands reality, being a result, must be already present in all sentient beings. But even supposing that all beings accepted the position of the Sāṁkhyas (that the result is present in the cause), were they ever seen to eat excrement for their food or procure cotton seeds when they buy cloth for their clothes? The fact is that no one, in any time or place, has ever been observed to live according to the Sāṁkhya description of reality. It collapses as a result.

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

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
