"Why is this?" questions its establishment of the name: In the opening of the section above, it simply spoke of the "meaning of awakening"; why then does its conclusion speak of "original awakening"? And since what is concluded here subsumes "original awakening," why did the title above merely say "awakening"? These are two kinds of inquiry, progressing and regressing. The meaning of the explanation below is: Because this awakening is contrasted with the dharmakāya of initial awakening that is to be revealed, it receives the name "original"; therefore, in the conclusion below, it speaks of "original awakening." And because when that initial awakening reaches the source of the mind, it is identical to original awakening and has no dual marks—there being nothing else to contrast it with—the title before simply and directly said "awakening." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.77) - [Next: 1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.79) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813~en-mt.1.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [起信論註](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.78) · Pramāṇa
