Precious Garland 80. A person is not earth, not water, Not fire, not wind, not space, Not consciousness, and not all of them. What person is there other than these? |
| __________________________________________________ |
|
Entering The Middle Way Thus the Buddha said the self is dependent upon these six of earth, water, fire, wind, consciousness, and space and also on the six sense faculties of the eyes and so on, which are in turn the bases for contact. 6.138 He also said the self is conceived on the basis of the mind and mental factors. Therefore self is neither identical to any of these factors, nor is it their mere collection. Thus the thought “I am” does not grasp any of these. 6.139 A chariot cannot be said to be different from its parts; it is not identical with the parts, nor does it possess the parts; it is not in the parts, nor do the parts exist in it; it is not the mere collection, nor is it the shape. 6.151 |

Sixty Stanzas of Reasoning 45. Those who accept dependent things As being like the moon in water, Neither [intrinsically] real nor unreal, Are not deprived by addictive views.(JL) 46. Once they commit to [intrinsic] things, They are trapped in painful malignant views, Which produce attachment and aversion And the disputes that spring from them. (JL) |
