[Buddha-l] As Swami goes, so goes the nation? (Dan Lusthaus and Richard P. Hayes)

[Bernard Simon]

Here is what Traga Rinpche had to say about the three natures, takenf  
rom my notes
>
> The Cittamatrin school divide phenomena into three kinds, the  
> imputed, the dependent, and the truly established. The imputed is  
> divided into variegated and the nonexistent. The variegated are  
> concepts like cups and pens. The nonexistent are like sky flowers  
> and son of a barren woman. The dependent are mistaken and  
> unmistaken. The mistaken are all phenomena as they appear to our  
> deluded mind. The unmistaken are the experience of a noble one in  
> post-meditation, where phenomena are seen as dreams. The truly  
> established is self cognizing awareness. It is free of the duality  
> of subject and object and action. Its cause is beyond  
> characteristics, its result is beyond aspiration, and its nature is  
> emptiness.
