English	Let us now examine these statements. In the general Madhyamaka context,4That is, the general position accepted by both Svātantrikas and Prāsaṅgikas. it is established that all things are merely imputed by the mind; nothing, not even an atom, exists from its own side. This is the pure, unspoiled wisdom of holy beings, and the great Tsongkhapa himself has also said this clearly in his own incomparable explanations. That all phenomena are merely imputed through cognitive activity is, however, the common[p.202]The Wisdom Chapter Fletcher, Wulstan, and Helena Blankleder (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Wisdom Chapter: Jamgön Mipham's Commentary on the Ninth Chapter of "The Way of the Bodhisattva." Boulder, CO: Shambhala Publications, 2017. assertion of all the masters of both the Prāsaṅgika and the Svātantrika schools; and it is a great mistake to say that it is the exclusive position of the Prāsaṅgikas. For, when [the Svātantrikas and the Prāsaṅgikas] analyze phenomena with reasoning that aims to establish their ultimate status, nothing is able to withstand analysis, and phenomena are accordingly established as mere cognitive imputations.5In other words, the Svātantrikas and Prāsaṅgikas are distinguished according to their interpretation of the conventional truth. When establishing the ultimate truth, they proceed in the same way. Note that, according to Mipham, the statement that phenomena are the imputations of thought belongs to the kind of discourse that aims at establishing the ultimate, not the conventional, truth.

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

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

Anumāna - Inference (Skt. anumāna; T. rjes dpag) is a way of knowing something indirectly, using logic and reasoning rather than direct experience. For example, if you see smoke rising from a distant mountain, you can infer that there is a fire there, even if you can't see the fire directly yourself. It's a key way to understand things that are hidden from our senses. It is used in the Buddhist tradition to gain insight into deeper levels of reality of self and phenomena.
