“Man ngag sde” proposes that all things including samsara and nirvana shall be attributed to dhamata of voidness or persistence with intelligence of being free from acceptance or rejection and non-differentiation of dual combination, and bright and clear intelligence free from influences of conditions and feelings of samsara and nirvana, so that the superior concept of body of self-enlightened Vajra-sphota is attained. Meanwhile, it proposes three concepts including purity of substance characteristics, enlightenment of self nature and broadness of great pity, and thinks that the essence of substance is immortal and immaterial, and substance is pure; the voidness and wonderful phase don’t hinder explicit knowledge, and self-nature is enlightened; the voidness and wonderful virtues can show impure and pure phenomena, which is broad great pity.
