This is a feature of the exalted path, realization - the fourth aspect of the noble truth of path. +
In the context of philosophical debate, this refers to the reasoning accepted by the realists. This is one ofthe four unique ultimate analyses of Prāsaṅgika. +
It refers to the fourth feature of the noble truth of cessation, the definite emergence from cyclic existence. +
The generic image is the mental image object, which is superimposed by conceptual thought and which is its direct object. For instance, when we think of emptiness, the concept of emptiness is arrived at by eliminating non-emptiness. That emptiness is the generic imge of emptiness, not the actual emptiness. +
One ofthe two main branches of the Madhyamaka. It differs from the other main branch, Prāsaṅgika, because it employs autonomous or autonomous syllogisms to establish ultimate reality. +
This refers to phenomena which perform a function. Functional phenomena are impermanent and compounded. +
Abstract object aspect of the subjective conceptual mind. +
Exalted level of compassion combined with superior wisdom, which does not conceive any kind of phenomena. +

Identifying the contradictory consequences or logical absurdities in the proponent’s argument without putting forward its own proposition, is the main method of disputation utilized by the Prāsaṅgika Madhyamaka school when debating against both the inner (Buddhist) and outer (non-Buddhist) realist schools concerning ultimate reality. +
These are the lower three of the four Indian Buddhist philosophical schools, which are characterized by advocating inherent existence ofphenomena at the ultimate level. +
Separate appearance of subjective and objective aspects. +
A proponent of the Madhyamaka view. +
One of the five analyses proving phenomena do not exist at the ultimate level; it shows that phenomena do not arise from a cause; without a cause; both from and without a cause; or neither from nor without a cause. +
This refers both to the view held by certain heretic or non-Buddhist schools that karma and results, varieties ofthe spiritual path, realized persons, enlightenment, etc. do not exist at the relative level, and also to the conceptual thought which conceives that something which previously existed “inherently” has ceased forever. +
This is also known as the Middle Way school. It regards itself as the highest of the four Indian schools, based on the fact that it does not accept phenomena at the ultimate level. +
This is the mode of perceiving engaged in by the conceptual mind in order to produce an image of its object. For example, the concept of tree is arrived at by eliminating non-tree. It is said that what we perceive directly through the conceptual mind is a generic image of an object rather than the specifically characterized object itself. +
Inferential cognition based on reasoning with the three logically established modes. +
Existing in the mind stream, but not developed. This includes the seeds and the dormant latencies. +
