Why is that? Because in each of the previous ten meanings, there is the sense of not maintaining its own nature. The assignment of literal meanings should be understood according to the above. Are these two awakenings identical or different? Because identity is not identity, and difference is not difference, by this meaning they are either identical or different, or neither identical nor different. Therefore, they are both affirmed and both negated, nothing more. By what meaning is it forcibly named 'initial awakening'? What is the character of the distinction in its literal meaning?
