(Collected Works of Ron-zom 1:337) "In Yoga ... there is the dualism of oneself and the deity. Mahayoga is free of that."

"Candrakirti ... established the general validity of the suddenist approach." [As concerning the C^>an/Zen doctrine of Mo Ho Yen, however, Mi-pham (in his Speech of Delight 104) distinguished "his exposition ... from the view of Mo Ho Yen" (p. 150, n. 153). {The distinction is based on the difference between the sudden advent of ordinary (nirman.a-kaya) buddhahood for C^>an/Zen, and sudden advent of esoteric (sambhoga- or dharma-kaya) buddhahood for rN~in-ma.}

p.

Madhyamaka

41

(Collected Works of Ron-zom 2:18) Madhyamaka is "divided into Sautrantika-Madhyamaka and Yogacara-Madhyamaka."

(Collected Works of Ron-zom 2:20) "further divides Madhyamaka into Sarvadharmapratis.t.hanavadins (rab tu mi gnas pa) and Mayopamadvayavadins (sgyu ma rigs grub pa)." [A-dvaya-vajra (11^th century Chr.E.) used the same division for Madhyamaka (p. 148, n. 120).]

148, n. 121

Sapan. ... divides the Sarvadharmapratis.t.hanavadins further into Prasangika and Svatantrika". [this "Svatantrika / Prasangika distinction ... dates ... from the twelfth century." (p. 41)]

in the Black Snake Discourse (Collected Works of Ron-zom 2:66-68), Ron-zom claimed that a reflection was aequivalent to what it was a reflection of – that the reflection of a black snake (evidently the animal-guise of some deity, perhaps a naga) was aequivalent to the black snake itself. {This is apparently based on the notion that a picture of the deity is aequivalent to a deity; a sort of argument typically used by icon-makers while hawking their wares, or by temple-custodians harbouring idols and requaesting donations from pilgrims to the temple. The Madhyamika-s who styled the "reflection" (icon or idol) as a mere "illusion" were evidently not worshippers or icons nor of idols.}

"the Madhyamikas do not accept ultimate existence (don dam par yod pa), yet they do believe in relative existence (kun rdzob tu yod pa) and imputed existence (btags su yod pa)." {That is, they deny the actual existence of deities, though they admit that the existence of pictures of deities and of (false) allegations that deities exist.}

p. 72 metaphor (Collected Works of Ron-zom 1:488)

{comparative}

"intrinsic nature being stained ... would be ... a sun crystal ["used to produce fire by concentrating the sun’s rays" {-- viz., a lens}]".

{lens is symbolized by lentil; red lentil is 2^nd-to-last in sequence ending in Rudrajaya (Ajita Mahatantra 8:23ab-26 – GTA, p. 93) : praeceding Rudrajaya is Rudra (Mayamata 7:45-54 -- KU), on whose throat is a stain – HC 102:4:1)}

"[intrinsic nature] being annulled would be ... the deer [known as] "that which cleanses itself in fire" ...["i.e., when it is not burned although bathing in fire"]."

{cf. {[Dakota] Fire Deer viewed the Aurora Borealis (BS).} {[Cherokee] Fire Deer is "by torchlight" (BG).} {[Pit River Ac^umawi] deerbone-seekers were scorched by fire (SThD, p. 137), where bone would = annullment}
