Merely with water and mirror as conditions, the manovijñāna falsely conceptualizes that there is a moon and there is an image; they are not at all objects of the eye consciousness. They are also subsumed under conceptually constructed form. Furthermore, conceptual construction belongs to the deluded mind, while the extremely minute and so forth belong to the contemplating mind; because they are equally nominal reflections, they are grouped together. Second, the approach of the non-manifest: 1. Manifest form of restraint: this is precisely when receiving precepts before a teacher. Due to this manifest form, it can then perfume the seeds of wholesome volition to have the functioning of preventing and initiating, establishing its non-manifest form. 2. Manifest form of non-restraint: this is precisely when actively wielding a blade to take life and create karma. Due to this manifest form, it can then perfume the seeds of unwholesome volition to have the functioning of preventing and initiating, establishing its non-manifest form. As for intermediate manifest form: this is precisely when actively paying homage to the Buddha, walking the path, or driving, beating, and reviling. Due to these manifest and non-manifest forms, they can then perfume the seeds of wholesome or unwholesome volition to also have the functioning of preventing and initiating, establishing its non-manifest form. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 55.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.55.4) - [Next: 55.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.55.6) - [Up: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.55) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.55.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.55.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.55.5) · Pramāṇa
