"View of person" is the view of self. "Excessive pride" means that one's own dharmas become exaggerated, resulting in prideful views. The sūtra says: "Claiming to have attained what has not been attained, claiming to have realized what has not been realized"—this refers to such a person. The evil of the view of person is limited, whereas the view of emptiness born of excessive pride rejects all dharmas; hence it is called destruction. Therefore, it is said: "Better to give rise to a view of person as large as Mount Sumeru than to give rise to a view of emptiness." "Falling into views of self and common" and so forth speaks of the origin of giving rise to the view of emptiness: genuinely because from beginningless time one gives rise to views of self-production and common production, taking pleasure and desire in them, failing to understand that all dharmas are mind-only, seeing external dharmas arising and ceasing moment by moment, successively changing and deteriorating—the so-called continuous flow of the aggregates, realms, and entrances altering and ceasing—and conceptualizing that these real dharmas, once ceased, return to nonexistence: this is their view of emptiness. As for false discrimination divorced from the characteristics of words, this also constitutes the meaning of destruction. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.55) - [Next: 3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.57) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.3.56) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.5.6) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.56) · Pramāṇa
