Therefore, chapter after chapter repeatedly states, "again addressed the World-Honoured One." Now this opening passage is precisely the specific questioning and answering on citta, manas, and vijñāna. It means that the consciousness of the initial kṣaṇa is different from wood and stone; inherently endowed with defilement and purity, each can become the root of immeasurable, innumerable defiled and pure consciousnesses. From the initial kṣaṇa across ineffable kalpas, up to the single kṣaṇa of the vajropamasamādhi, there are ineffably ineffable consciousnesses. When generating the two dharmas of form and mind in all sentient beings, there are defilement, purity, arising, and ceasing. For this consciousness, regarding the gateway of arising and ceasing, how many kinds of arising, abiding, and ceasing are there? (However, since distant kalpas are beginningless, what is named the "initial"? This refers precisely to the moment when a single thought suddenly arises, when deluded thought goes against truth; this is called the initial consciousness. It is not that there was a consciousness newly arisen in the past that is called the initial consciousness). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.118) - [Next: 2.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.120) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.2.119) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.119) · Pramāṇa
