Dzong-ka-ba on Candrakīrti’s Assertion of "non-dependence on another" as the Object to Be Negated in the View of Emptiness
Geluk presentations of Mādhyamika contend that innate ignorance erroneously superimposes a certain look and feel onto reality. This illusory impression is called "the object to be negated" (dgag bya, pratiṣedya) and, in the Prāsaṅgika-Mādhyamika School, "inherent existence" or &q...

| Summary: | Geluk presentations of Mādhyamika contend that innate ignorance erroneously superimposes a certain look and feel onto reality. This illusory impression is called "the object to be negated" (dgag bya, pratiṣedya) and, in the Prāsaṅgika-Mādhyamika School, "inherent existence" or "own-being" (rang bzhin, svabhāva). This article examines both Candra-kīrti's (6th-7th C.E.) identification of the object to be negated—"non-dependence on another"—and Dzong-ka-ba’s claim that this is the same as "established by way of own entity" (rang gi ngo bos grub pa). Also discussed are six separate definitions of "dependence" allowed in Dzong-ka-ba’s Geluk system. Finally, in an appendix following the body of this work, I present my translation of an annotation from Nga-wang-bel-den’s Annotations for (Jam-yang-shay-ba’s) "Great Exposition of Tenets," which addresses these issues. , |
