This is the explanation. In stages such as those before the bhūmis, when one has not yet realized that the nature falsely discriminated by parikalpita is empty and non-existent in its substance, one can never truly know that the other-dependent exists. The force of what is falsely grasped obscures that other-dependent; when that obscuration is removed, the other-dependent naturally becomes manifest, and one knows that what is falsely grasped is non-existent. Relying on this gateway of non-existence, one realizes the pariniṣpanna and thereby understands the other-dependent. Now speaking from the gateway of what is non-existent, it says: understanding the emptiness of what is grasped, one knows that the other-dependent exists. This resolves \[the doubt\]. Furthermore, if fundamental non-conceptual wisdom does not first realize the marvelous principle of tathatā—the emptiness of the grasped nature—its subsequent wisdom will never truly know the other-dependent as existing; this demonstrates that non-conceptual wisdom realizes both natures. Question: Since one must know the ultimate truth before understanding conventional facts, is this simultaneous or sequential? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.170) - [Next: 9.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.172) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830~en-mt.9.171) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.171](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1830.9.171) · Pramāṇa
