[20] Examination of the Inclusive Grasp (24 verses)

1. Belonging to Reason or belonging to many Real Truths,

The Inclusive Grasp is born at that time.

Result exists also relying upon the Inclusive Grasp,

Therefore how is it possible for the Inclusive Grasp to be born newly?


2. Belonging to Reason or belonging to many RealTruths,

T he Inclusive Grasp is born at that time.

What is called result does never exist really receiving the influence of the Inclusive
Grasp,

And so how is it possible for the Inclusive Grasp to be born newly?


3. Belonging to Reason or belonging to many Real Truths,

There might be possibility for the Inclusive Grasp to be born in such a situation.

The Result exists really relying upon the Inclusive Grasp,

But how is it possible for the Inclusive Grasp to be born newly?


4. Belonging to Reason or belonging to many Real Truths,

Being helped by the Inclusive Grasp, there might be possibility for result not to exist
at all.

Many Reasons and many Truths are actually thrown away,

And what are not reasonable and what are not true might be full there.


5. Reason is usually given as result,

And so Reason is usually suppressed actually.

What is presented, can be what is neglected,

Because, relying upon Reason, the two kinds of factors of spirits might manifest
them.


6. When any result hasn't been given as the reason actually,

Then the reason should be erased at that time.

Relying upon the Reason, a birth is actually suppressed sometimes.

Then a result can be maintained without any kind of reason.


7. Result is also similar to the Inclusive Grasp.

And at that time also something spiritual manifests itself.

And the facts that both result and the Inclusive Grasp will appear together actually,

Suggests that such a kind of facts have been born really without fail.


8. Just before relying upon the Inclusive Grasp,

Result has possibility to manifest itself at that time.

When Reason and the Truth have been emancipated themselves,

There might be possible for result to be identified with something unreasonable.


9. When Result has been vanished,

The combination between relying upon Reason and following upon Reason, has existed,

Before being birth, actually from Reason,

The next birth must be cling to hesitation..


10. There is possibility that Result has been born having become bigger,

But how is it possible for suppressing birth to become weaker actually?

How is it possible for the establishment of Reason to be the cause of reducing the
Birth?

Relying upon result, the part, which has been concealed, has been kept by sheet.


11. Now, relying upon cause, the situations, which have been concealed, are like that.

Who among many people, does bear result?

Because it is not always true for a blind person not to look at anything absolutely,,

Therefore there is possibility for Reason to produce result.


12. Because being not included into the past, and because not relying upon the past,

Being included by result suggests to be relying upon cause.

In the case not without birth, or not with birth,

The real contact must be recognized without fail.


13. Because being not included to be born, or relying upon not be born,

Being included by result suggests to be relying upon cause.

Not relying upon the past, nor relying upon being born,

The real contact must be recognized without fail.


14. Because, not belonging to be born and relying upon to be born, are different,

Being included by result suggests to be relying upon cause.

Not relying upon not being born, and not relying upon disappearance,

The Inclusive Grasp is being recognized at every moment.

15. Because of the no-existence of the mutual contact, was the reason,

How is it possible for the result to be born?

The fact, or the clear meeting, is the reason, therefore,

How is it possible for the result will be born in future?


16. When Reason is in the balanced autonomic nervous system relying upon the result,

How is it necessary for us to dig up any kind of cause for such a state intentionally?

When even in the case that Reason has lost the balance of the autonomic nervous
system,

How is it necessary for us to dig up any kind of cause for such a state intentionally?


17. Result will never manifest itself as the unbalanced autonomic nervous system.

And the unbalanced autonomic nervous system will never be suppressed at all,

The state of no suppression also does not appear,

And the concrete fact of the unbalanced autonomic nervous system will continue
existing.


18. How is it possible for the balanced autonomic nervous system will appear in future?

And how is it possible that the balanced autonomic nervous system will disappear too?

The balanced state of the autonomic nervous system will never be obstructed.

And what hasn’t been accomplished yet is belonging to the secular society too much.


19. Belonging to Reason, and being included by Result, do not belong to the same group,

Because they do not appear together at the same time.

Belonging to Reason, and being included by Result, do not belong to the same group.

Because both Reason and Result have also possibility to be manifesting their images
together.


20. Result and Reason perhaps might have the common characteristics together.

It is just the combination between the power to bear, and the state to be born.

It might be in the oneness between result and reason,

Therefore Reason and without relying upon Reason might be similarly the same.


21. If Result is the subjective existence and the Real World.

How will it be possible that Reason will bear something in future.

If Result is the subjective existence, but not the Real World,

How will it be possible that Reason will bear something in future.


22. Never belonging to an agitators' intention,

But the reasonable attitude manifests itself actually.

When the reasonability hasn't manifested itself yet at all,

Where will it be possible for some result to exist at any place at all?


23. The Real Truth does never be included into miscellaneous Reasons.

This World utilizes the Soul well utilizing the Soul.

The Inclusive Grasp really grasps the Reality.

And so how is it possible for result to be born actually?


24. What has been created by the Inclusive Grasp, is not result?

What has not been created by the Inclusive Grasp is not result?

The Real Truth, which is just the Inclusive Grasp, exists actually.

Where is it possible for result not to exist really at all?

[19] Examination of Time (6 verses)

MMK (19) Examination of Time (6 verses)

1. The existence just at the present moment is the state that everything has never arrived at yet.

And at that time past is just the object of consideration mentally,

The existence just at the present moment is the state that everything has never arrived
at.

Therefore the past in time will exist in future actually.


2. The existence just at the present moment is the state that everything has never arrived
at yet,

The situations there might never exist once more again at all.

The existence just at the present moment is the state that everything has never arrived
at yet,

Perhaps, aha, what kind of consideration, does it belong?


3. An accomplishment is not so esteemed.

Past is not so recognized also.

Existing at the present moment hasn’t arrived at yet actually,

Therefore Time is not recognized yet.


4. Utilizing just this place what have been left are two,

The one is relying upon going on ahead, and the other one is relying upon
accomplishment.

Among the highest, the lowest, and the middle,

Selecting only one might be desirable actually.


5. Time can be grasped relying upon the fact that it does never stop.

Time, which has stopped, can never be found anywhere at all.

If Time is something, which has been caught, but at the same time hasn't been caught,

How is it possible for Time to be recognized at all?


6. Even though it is clear for Time to exist really,

In the case that Time really exists, where does it move actually?

If there were no existence of Time at all,

Where is it possible for time to exist really even in future at all?

[18] Examination of the Soul (12 verses)

1. If the Soul really exists as a part of the five kinds of aggregates,

The real facts of appearance, disappearance, and maintenance of the Soul,
must exist theoretically.

And if there were any kind of different aggregate, which is different from the five kinds
of aggregates,

It might be natural for the characteristic of something, which is different from the five
kinds of aggregates, to exist.


2. It is said that a person himself or herself exists with their Souls together,

But where is it possible to exist such fact even in future?

Not being egoistic suggests that they are perfectly free from the state of egoism.

Therefore the Soul, or co-existence of Souls, is similar to be as if they were fetters.


3. Being not egoistic and being free from egoism,

Are both real together, but such kinds of situations are never always recognized well.

Not being egoistic is similar to being free from egoism.

Such situations can be seen sometimes, but can’t be seen sometimes.


4. A title “my” or a title “I” has become very weak,

And avoiding God, the Soul is also in the same situation.

The self-regulation is just the action, which is useful for us,

Leaving from such area, and making our efforts to realize our whole mental functions, are our task.


5. To live in both Action and Delusion are just emancipations,

And it is true for Action and Delusion to manifest them reciprocally.

Both Action and Delusion are prone to develop themselves overcoming themselves,

And nowadays in the balance of the autonomic nervous system, some kinds of
disturbance have begun.


6. The problem, which is related with the Soul, is just a kind of disclosing secrets,

And the teaching that the Soul does not exist is just the true teachings.

Relying upon many Buddhas' opinions, the Soul does not exists, but spirit is not
deniable.

The insistence that "move it ahead!" might be just their teachings.


7. The abstract world is the world, which has been described with words.

Therefore the abstract world is very similar to a pasture, where thoughts can be
wandering like cows at random.

Because what hasn't been produced can never be governed by any thing,

The balanced autonomic nervous system is just the substance of the Universe.


8. All kinds of Real Entity can be thought as if it were not Real Entity too.

Real Entity and non-Real Entity can be thought as if they were the same.

They were never non-Reality, but they were never Reality.

This World is just Gautama Buddha's teachings themselves.


9. Nothing can overcome, and nothing can follow up. The Truth is just the balanced state
of the autonomic nervous system.

Relying upon miscellaneous kinds of expansion, there is some possibility for any
expansion not to exist.

The state without any doubt is different from having another aim,

And this World is just characteristics, which belongs to the concrete fact.


10. Each thing clearly exists one by one,

Because similarity between one thing and another is not so similar to each other,

The gap between one thing and another, is never so wide.

It is not cut with each other, but it is never eternal.


11. Not only for one aim, but neither having any aim,

Not being instantaneous, but neither being eternal,

The spot here is just the name of Gautama Buddha.

Belonging to many Buddhas, it is just the Universal Law, or Truth itself.


12. Even though ideas of the Soul do not have any influence to people called Buddhas,

People called Sravakas, who are diligent to study Buddhism theoretically, are not so
positive to the ideas of the Soul.

Among people called Pratyeka-buddhas, who revere natural circumstances, the
knowledge of the Soul might be increasing their learning,

But people, who do not enter to the organization, only begin the practice.

[17] Examination of the Fusion between Action and Resulf (33 verses)

MMK (17) Examination of the Fusion between Action and Result (33 verses)

1. The negative attitudes to the existence of Soul is an excellent decision,

The attitude to keep a distance from the Soul is that.

The friendship to others is just the real fact, and the Rule of the Universe is just the fact.

And the seeds as results are just the next world of this world.


2. They are both perception and the contents, which have been perceived,

And they are talked on Action, and they are very necessary to endure them.

In them there are so many articles, and they are divided into so many divisions,

And they are belonging to matter, which are so related with the states of Actions, and
some official proclamations.


3. In such situations, that kind of visibility is talked,

And a concrete fact, Action, is the mental teachings.

The individual soul is just what has been spoken there,

And concrete facts there, which are included by physical Action and verbal expressions.


4. Endless talks like dram without stop are the situations,

And those situations are just reporting the news without any information.

Those situations of lacking information might be very irregular states,

And memories might be stopped Actually.


5. Continuity of pursuing pleasures might be comfortable,

But unfortunately something impure usually exists only in such a kind of materialistic
place
.
What are clearly seen in such situations are the universal rules of the seven factors of
wisdom, that is, consciousness, investigation of the law, exertion, rapture, repose, the
balanced states, and serenity.

And so all things and phenomena are proclaiming that they are not ideas of existence.


6. Aha, my childhood, when I have established myself at that time,

My Action itself has become as big as my age,

And the self-regulations are sufficient as my self-regulations.

And so something real will be born as results in future.


7. And those young buds have separated from seeds,

And because of continuity in succession, the streams follow behind them.

Then as such continuity, fruits have begun to move separating from seeds.

Such a kind of work can never be expansion of any kind of work.


8. Just because of leaving seeds, the succession without break can continue.

And after breaking from the succession of continuity, then the harvest of fruits follows.

Before the seeds, there are fruits before them,

And there is no extinction, further more no eternity.


9. Therefore the task is continuity of consciousness,

And the mental power is always going on.

The developing power of result moves leaving mind,

And the real situations have arrived at the limitation of the expansion.


10. Leaving from the mind, then there is the continuous succession,

And then leaving from the continuous succession, there is some kind of effects, which
has come from the succession.

Action is before, and then result.

There is never any kind of extinction, and there is never any kind of eternity.
11. The direct and straight approach belongs to the Rules of the Universe,

And they are the Ten Kinds of True Buddhist Precepts.

The fruits are a kind of measure of perfect enjoyment,

And in the Universal Rule it is just as if it were death in this world.


12. By increasing favor and greatness,

When vices have made fabrications,

Those kinds of desirable Acts might be carried out perfectly by acting the behavior
concretely,

And relying upon such behaviors the desirable facts can be realized in front of us.



13. Now I would like to proclaim again that,

There have been said some kinds of fabrication set up as oath,

By many Buddhas, Pratyeka-Buddhas,

And by also Sravakas for explanations in detail.


14. Following the endless motion of the wings, the efforts have been continued until the
expected effects.

Relying upon such a process, the flying is just Action itself.

The four kinds of fundamental Matter, that is, the ground, water, fire, and air, are Real,

But the explanations of fundamental Matter are not sufficient yet in their explanations.


15. An absolutely stopping job is perfectly different from being sent only as a
messenger, for example.

The cause of existence is never only denial of estrangement.

Therefore during as far as possible for seeds to be maintained,

The births are continued relying upon Action.


16. The Action to stop might be occurred by being sent to a far distant place,

And so miscellaneous Actions are relying upon just to act itself.

Therefore miscellaneous vices are always relying upon whether we commit
them actually, or not.

Therefore in such situations the Action itself is just the destroyer of heartlessness.


17. All researches are related with lotus,

And are related with the whole Universe and Actions.

They are related upon similarities, which belong to Real Matter.

Something Only One manifests itself, which is totally Reality.


18. Actions and Actions can be seen.

The Universe manifests itself totally as Reality.

In the form of belonging to the two Fundamental Substances, that is, the Universe
or Something Real itself.

Something has been established as the Universe just perfectly matured in Real
Stability.


19. Results have also habits of passing through, and it is also Reality.

And the refusal from death is also stopped perfectly.

Our efforts of neglecting pains are also very severe pain,

And it is desirable for us to recognize the real allotments of shares actually.


20. The balance of the autonomic nervous system is never the cutting of the two.

And the wandering of up and down in our daily life does never continue forever.

Both being connected with Action and continuity of successful conditions,

Are the Rules of the Universe, which were taught to us by Gautama Buddha.


21. Action does never appear from anywhere at all.

The scarcity of wealth exists everywhere,

Therefore the wealth is not easy to be accomplished,

At the same time it is rather rare for wealth to be exhausted actually.


22. If Action is the fact of subjective existence,

It might be perhaps what is eternal without fail.

But at the same time it might be difficult for everyone even only to take a rest.

Because it might be perfectly impossible for eternity to be created at all.


23. Because the Action hasn't been done, there is sometimes possibility of warning not to
be done.

In that situation it might be possible for the Action not to be done.

There might be some possibility of not to maintain the vow actually,

And there the vices might be attached without fail.


24. To do some kinds of job are to receive an enveloping attack,

Therefore all situations of businesses similarly lose the time even to take a rest.

And so both people, neither who produce rightness, nor who produce wrongness, do not exist,

Therefore only dismemberment has been attached solely.


25. And even though a cook has been well cooked, and furthermore it has been well
cooked,

It might be cooked further just better again.

It is possible for Action to be placed into the systematic Order actually,

Therefore it might be possible for the situations to be identified with their own original
states actually.


26. The place, where Action has naturally included severe pain, is just this world.

However the severe pain is not only the real situation of facts there.

In the actual situations there, the severe pain is not all at that place.

Action might produce something, which is Real Fact itself,


27. Action and the severe pain are just belonging to physical bodies.

And many Truths are the contents, which are spoken with words.

When both Action and the severe pain are existing in the balanced autonomic nervous
system,

What kind and from what place those kinds of many bodies come from?


28. If it is true for human beings are ignorant and do not have ability to regulate
themselves,

The facts that desire should be regulated, are just Reality.

Real people, who are only enjoying their pleasure, are absolutely different from people,
who are actually working.

Another factors are not different from Reality, which is the just the same as Reality.


29. The Truth has never been produced.

At the same time what is not the Truth has never appeared at once.

Therefore this world really exists as Action.

Because of that, just the distinction does never exist since that time.


30. And if Action does not have any distinction actually,

Where it might be always possible for what has been born is result.

Then does it possible for a person, who is living for only such kind of enjoyment, to
arrive at the situation?

Where will it be possible for such a situation to be experienced even in future at all?


31. In such situations, what has been established, has got the position of a Ruler
already,

And the facts, that the urgent ruler has been established already, are grasping the power
to hold the urgent political situations confirmly.

In such a situation, the fact that the building has been established already, is completely
different from the situation, that the measurement has been finished already.

And so actually speaking the facts that the construction has been accomplished already,

Might have the absolute meaning that the building has been accomplished already..


32. In such situations what has been established is just a figure, which can be seen from
outside,

And the establisher is that person, and this is just what has been created.

The concrete thing, which exists there, is different from what has been constructed,

And what has been established and what has been measured, are existing there.


33. Miscellaneous kinds of Pain, miscellaneous kinds of Action, miscellaneous kinds of
bodies and,

Miscellaneous kinds of workers and, miscellaneous results and,

Gandharva City without prison,

The Sun Beam, sleep, and so on.

[16] Examinationof the Fusion of restriction and Emancipation (10 verses)

1. What have been accomplished, are wandering through in regulated situations,

And the regular situations, which do not wander, are this world.

Slow walking and not being eternal are the Real situations,

And actually this world is going on totally.


2. When a personal substance is wandering,

The five kinds of aggregates, that is, matter, perception, recognition, action, and
consideration, are relying upon material element as the place of taking a rest.

Those five kinds of necessary material elements can never become the cause of
wandering through.

How shall we stop such kind of wandering through at all?


3. Avoiding action, which we want to do, but at the same time we would do what we want
to do.

There might be favorite job, which can exist everywhere.

At the same time there are many jobs, which we do not like to do.

What is just the job, which we like to do?


4. The balanced state of the autonomic nervous system does not belong perfection.

How is it possible for such a situation to occur actually?

The balanced state of the autonomic nervous system does never belong to Reality
itself.

How is it possible for Reality to manifest itself newly?


5. Not destroying life, but not to be free,

Appearance, passing through, and Universal morals.

The accomplishment as before is Reality.

Not to destroy, but not to make free.


6. Restrictions seem to be just our perceptions.

But the Real perceptions can never be Restriction.

Just never other than perception does restrict,

And what kind of constancy would be destroyed at that time?


7. When slaughter has been done as far as being desired,

Then just before, an arrest would be done at that time.

And such kind of verbal talks does never exist,

As if the same talk as “going,” “have gone,” and “will go,” in the Chapter 2.


8. As far as Gautama Buddha does not permitted,

The states without arrest have never been permitted.

Aha! So, in the case of Gautama Buddha, the abbreviation might be permitted.

And so the bondage might be in liberation.


9. In the case that I will not live in this World,

Suggests that the balance of the autonomic nervous system might be possible to exist
in me in future.

From such situations the present maintenance like that might be Real,

And the appearance of the real facts are the very Great Facts.


10. The balanced state of the autonomic nervous system, is not the place, where we
should enter,

But the place for wandering is not the place, where we should get out from it.

There something, which is not clear, and here the wandering without any stability.

And in the balanced autonomic nervous system, there is something, which is
not decisive.

[15] Examination of Subjective Existence (11 verses)

MMK (15) Examination of Subjective Existence (11 verses)

1, Total existence does not belong to the subjective existence,

And what is spoken is the Truth, which is supported by Reason.

The Reason and the Truth exists being compound,

And the subjective existence exists what has been produced artificially.


2. The subjective existence is what has been produced artificially as only a common name,

And how is it possible for it to continue existence longer?

Because what are not artificial products are the subjective existence,

And so it might be not so interesting, and it might belong to future.


3. Why in the subjective existence anything does not exist?

And the objective existence will exist in future.

The subjective idea is included in the objective existence.

Because the objective existence transmits the informations.


4. Relying upon both the subjective existence and the objective existence,

To what direction the existence moves again?

Both in the subjective existence and in the objective existence,

Because both the subjective existence and the objective existence are really accomplished ‘auspicious’ facts.


5. Being included in existence suggests that it hasn't been accomplished.

Being out of existence does never suggest accomplishment.

Because belonging to existence produces living in another world,

And so the many numbers of births suggest many numbers of strange contrivances.


6. Both the birth of subjective existence and objective existence,

Suggests the producing existence and the erasing existence in the perfect similarity.

They are looking at the facts superficially, but not actually looking at them at all.

Those were the Real Facts, which Gautama Buddha has punished severely.


7. Katyayana was not so affirmative,

To the two kinds of discussions whether something exists, or not.

The Saint Katyayana was not so affirmative,

Therefore the problem whether it is existent, or not, is not so clear.


8. If Reality is the original substance,

There might not be anything, which does not belong to this world, or not to be
Reality.

And something original might be perfectly impossible to be a different existence,

Because what has been separated from the original Reality, might manifest itself
At all.


9. In the case of relying upon the imitated substance,

How is it possible for the original situations to be manifested really?

In the case of relying upon the true substance,

How is it possible for the imitated situations to be manifested really?


10. It is said that the Eternal Manifestation really exists,

And it is completely wrong that the continuous observation has been cut actually.

Therefore in the middle way between existence and non-existence,

It might be just the passing through all situations of having sharp corners.


11. Relying upon thinking subjective existences, even though there is the concrete
Universe,

The concrete Universe is not something, which really does not exist, or is not
eternal.

In the time before this world hasn't existed,

What is called extinction does not appear yet.

[14] Examination of Fusion (8 verses)

1. To be seen, an action to see, and a man, who sees,

Those three kinds of miscellaneously colorful mixture are produced by combination
between the two and the two.

Never being totally fused together,

But mutually combined one by one actually.


2. Similarly to the cases of action to dye and what is dyed,

Being dyed and Action to dye are similar to each other.

And being maintained as three, that is, what has been left, pain,

And altars, which have been left also.


3. Fusion relies upon different things, and at the same time it belongs to different things.

Fusion is never recognized as different characteristics.

It might be offerings for it to be seen,

And since then Fusion does not go on further.


4. Something excluding others is different from characters of another.

Characters to be seen, and so forth, are not recognized.

Something belonging to it, and something relying upon to it, are over all.

And so, different character does not appear at all.


5. Different, different, clearly different,

What is not different, and what is different, both move as something different.

But something very clear is just that,

And so the different from it does never appear.


6. In that case, difference, difference, and because of the differences,

And just because of those differences, motion can exist.

But the Real Facts are difference, difference, and because of the differences,

So any motion does not exists really, and since then anything does not exist.


7. Because of not relying upon anything,

The different situations are not recognized,

Never being upon non-consciousness, or another consciousness,

Never something, which does not really exist in another world, or in the real world.


8. Fusion does not belong to Reality, or does not rely upon Reality.

Fusion does not belong to another world, or in the real world.

Fusion is just perfectly mixed situations, and perfectly combined situations.

Fusion is never recognized as any kind of mixture at all.

[13] Examination of Real Action (8 verses)

1. Reality has become uselessly the robbers’ World,

How many topics of merciful gods have been stopped for long time?

In everything there are many robbers' Worlds,

Therefore, because of such situations, human daily lives are totally useless.


2. Reality has become uselessly the robbers' World,

By whom and when, what kind of things there have been robbed?

Such kinds of area are ironically called very happy places,

But the state of perfectly balanced autonomic nervous system is never brilliant.


3. In many existences, poverties are clear,

But in another case the attitudes of looking at, has been omitted.

The unnatural birth does not exist really,

And in the miscellaneous existences, the balanced state of the autonomic nervous system
is going on.


4. Where is the existence of another world other than this exists?

The real existence of myself itself is not recognized at all.

Where is the existence of another world other than this exists?

Then the real existence of myself itself is recognized at that time.


5. Existence in other world does never belong to this world.

At the same time what belongs to the different world, is never attached to this world.

For the same reason, young men do not become old at the present moment,

For the same reason, old men do not become old at the present moment.


6. Mind in this world can exist in another world,

And so condensed milk can exist similarly as if it were yoghurt.

Leaving from condensed milk, something different can exists in a different thing.

Therefore the existence of condensed milk might be possible in future.


7. When a small amount of unbalanced state exists,

Even a small amount of the balanced state can never exist at all.

However, when a bit of unbalanced state does not stay at all,

Where is it possible for the balanced state to exist even in future at all?


8. The perfectly balanced autonomic nervous system, is all the origin of intuitive Truth,

Therefore the contents of those Buddhist Masters’ teachings are all unchangeable
True Pursuit.

Those are just the doctrine, which is based on the perfectly balanced autonomic nervous
system,

And they are all never defeated Proclamation.

[12] Examination of Pain (10 verses)

1. My own Action, and others’ Action,

And Action, which is done by myself and the others together, are not reasonable.

Only one aim called Pain has been desired,

And the Pain and what has been done actually, are not combined into one.


2. In the case, when my Action exists,

It is clear that what has expanded does not exist clearly.

And what have been accumulated are accumulations.

Because something clearly aggregated, is conspicuously clear in front of us.


3. When this world is different from what is seen now,

The similarity and difference of the world might be bound then by the miscellaneous
things and phenomena.

It might be true that something, which has been produced by others, can be painful,

But even being produced by either by others, or by oneself, they are the same to be
produced by production.


4. When the personality of myself has produced Pain,

Then it might be similar to as if there were no Pain, too.

The personality of myself is also only one among many people,

And so what has produced Pain, is also my Action itself.


5. When the personality of others have produced Pain,

Then the Pain has been illuminated by other's light.

What are created by others, might be the Pain,

And where is it possible for Reality to exist without Pain?


6. When the personality of others have produced Pain,

Then what is just the personality, which is called other's personality?

The situation, which does not have any Pain, might be the states, which have been
produced.

Therefore it is the state, which has been grasped by the facts.


7. Because our products haven't been accomplished yet,

It is impossible for us to say that the Pain has come from others’ efforts.

Because even though other people have also created their Pain actually,

Their work might be done as their own products separately.


8. What I have sacrificed for producing something, is not so painful.

Because without relying upon such efforts the article might not be produced at all.

Because in this case another person must be different from the person himself,

Therefore how is it possible for Pain to come from another's behavior?


9. In the case that a work has been done by the two members,

Then the Pain might be separated into two, one by one.

If Pain has not been produced by either others, or by himself,

Why Pain is so unreasonable actually like that?


10. Some special condition, which is peculiarly individual, does not belong to Pain,

The four kinds of recognition, that is, life, aging, disease, and death, are difficult to
realize.

And even though what are existents out of doors, are also existence,

The four kinds of recognition, that is, life, aging, disease, and death, are difficult to
realize.

(11) Examination of the Termination of Beginning and End (8 verses)

1. Before noticing the end of his life,

The great saint Gautama Buddha has never say anything at all.

Because our usual daily life is never inferior, but excellent,

Even rains, and so forth, can never be placed behind.


2. Belonging to not the highest, or belonging to not to the lowest,

They belong to the middle class without reason.

Therefore without reason miscellaneous things and phenomena manifest themselves.

And so before and after, there are only strong progresses.


3. Before the time when birth has existed,

Aging and death had belonged to future.

There are young ages, death, or birth.
,
There are expectations of birth, and even expectation of eternity.


4. After a birth has existed,

Aging and death, and so forth, exist.

Because it might be impossible for anything illogical to exist really,

What is the real meaning of becoming older, or death?


5. Never completely the same as the cases of aging, or death,

The cases of birth, and so forth, might be exactly governed ,

Therefore perhaps in the case of death, or the birth of babies,

They might be both unreasonable probably together.
.

6. In such situations, anything does not appear in this world,

Before being not so far, but common progress.

However at the same time, miscellaneous things and phenomena, have been born,

And so what is the reason, why those aging and death are produced?


7. Something, which has been produced, and the reason, why it was produced, are
commonly the same,

And what has been produced, and the characteristics, which has been accomplished, are
absolutely similar to.

Sense perception and the efforts to transmit it to others, are also constructed perfectly
as the same,

Even though there is some kind of aim, but at the same time it is just something. which
can not be described with words.


8. Before the time hasn't been grasped in its true meaning yet,

Wandering in our daily life is never lonely at all yet.

All things and phenomena seem to be exist really,

Before we do not recognize the existence of time.

[10] Examination of the Fusion of Fire and Combustion (16 verses)

MMK (10) Examination of the Fusion of Fire and Burning (16 verses)

1. When what is called burning is actually fire,

And what has become into one, is oneness of a person, who ignites, and an
effort to ignite itself.

What is different from burning is fire,

Just leaving from burning, something, which is moving on, is going.


2. The natural burning might be just understandable,

But what is separated from natural co, might be more reasonable.

Therefore it might be useless to begin burning newly again,

And in those situations, there might be just something, which does not have any
meaning.


3. In future, when we have left even having any kind of desire
,
It might be reasonable that there might be no light.

In that situations also again, losing the aim will begin,

And the native brightness will be occupied.


4. Then it might be just the state of being burnt,

And the situation of being burnt exists like that.

And when we think why fuel is always so much burned,

We can say only that the big volume of burning has appeared actually just at that time.


5. As a different problem, something, which cannot be accomplished, can be possible a job,
which can never be accomplished even in future.

Something, which can never be destroyed, might be also impossible to be
destroyed even in future.

Something, which can never become balanced or serene, will be impossible to become
balanced or serene even in future.

And a grammatical gender of each thing, which will maintain its gender, will also
never change its grammatical gender without fail in future.


6. As another example, in a case that fire has left from burning,

Burning has strongly hoped to meet with fire again,

And the female (burning) has arrived at the male (fire) perfectly,

And so in such a situation, the male (fire) is very familiar to the female (burning) at
that time.


7. In another case, fire has left burning absolutely,

And burning has begun to get everything as far as burning likes to get it.

In the case when fire and burning have been fused into one completely,

Aha! It might be possible that fire and burning have enter into the common state,
where it might be possible that both fire and burning do not notice with each other at
all.


8. Just at the time, when burning has been recognized as fire,

What has been accepted as fire must be just as burning.

Before the time, when fire or burning can manifest itself as fire or burning,
What is recognized as fire must be inevitably exists as burning.


9. When burning has been considered as fire,

Everything, which has been accomplished with fire, can be accepted that
the products have been accomplished by fire without fail.

But at the same time, even though there were actually existence of fire,

The usage of fire has been cut off and hasn’t been used actually, even though the
keeping fire were so clear.


10. What has been produced as it was expected, is existence,

And how is it possible that what is actually not accomplished, can be seen as if it were
accomplished?

And when what has been just expected, were realized,

What are the accomplished, and what is the expected?


11. What has been hoped, has been accomplished, is existence,

And how is it possible that something, which has been expected, actually realized?

In such a situation, what has been accomplished, is expected,

And then, even looking at around, does not belong to attachment.


12. To notice burning is not fire,

Or not to notice fire is not burning.

Being innocent to burning does not produce fire,

Or not to be ignorant of fire does not produce burning.


13. What is going on a different way, is different from fire,

And in burning, it is impossible for fire to be found.

There, inside burning, what has been maintained, can be explained,

Relying upon the method of “is going,” ”has gone“ and “will go.”


14. Burning is not fire itself again,

And fire even in another place, has never left from burning.

Fire has not separated from burning or from fire,

And miscellaneous kinds of burnings are never real because of them.


15. An idea that fire and burning are one, is a content of explanation,

And relying upon the oneness between mind and sense perception, the process is
Å@going on.

Å@Everything in the world has never surplus or scarcity,

And to increase more half is concentrated intentionally like a kind of clothes.


16. The spiritual existence and the material substances,

They are miscellaneous existences and at the same time existence of one by one.

However they do not indicate themselves as if they were something,

And so they have completely killed something, which has been much related with some
kind of study.

[9] Examination of the Moment Just Before the Present (12 verses)

1. Function to see something, function to listen to something, and so forth,

Those miscellaneous sense perceptions just exist at the present moment.

And proceeding such a perception, it is said that something concrete exists really,

Just as some momentary accident, which appears only once.


2. Because there is nothing, which does not exist,

The perceptive function to see, and so forth, will be possible to exist even in future.

Therefore even the moment just before can exist,

And so the existence of the moment just before actually exists in the very stable
conditions.


3. Relying upon seeing, hearing, and so forth,

And furthermore relying upon knowledge, and so forth,

The moment just before, exists in the very harmonized situations,

And then with what kind of method, is it possible for Reality to be found actually?


4. In the case when there were no way to see, and so forth,

The situation here and now might continue to exist in the state of completely
harmonized situation.

And those kinds of stuation, might exist even in future.

And without such situations, the moment just before the present would never be
continuing even in future.


5. Relying upon some kind of method, something goes ahead.

And something might be driven by something perhaps.

In the case of there is nothing, where is it possible for something to exist somewhere?

How is it possible for anything to exist anywhere when there is no existent possibility?


6. Even though relying upon all kinds of sense perceptions, for example vision,

It is completely impossible for us to see anything before the time of present moment.

But because being driven by seeing and so forth,

Because of relying upon the time of different before, there is another time.


7. Relying upon all kinds of function to see, and so forth,

It is impossible for us to recognize the moment just before the present.

Leaving from one by one, how is it possible the moment just before the present to exist?

Relying upon only total oneness of all sense perceptions, the moment just before the
moment can be perceived.


8. A person, who looks at something, is real, and at the same time a person, who listen to,
was also real.

And then such situations become real relying upon information.

Leaving from the method of one by one, it is possible for the moment just before the
moment to exist,

But just at that time this Real World is never be harnessed at all.


9. Not a person, who look at things well, or not a person, who listen to sounds well,

And a person, who is not skillful to tell informations to others.

Therefore perhaps it might be related with listening to something, but at the same time it
is related with looking at, too.

And so because of both much volume and individual personality might exist.


10. Action to look at something, or action to listen to something, and so forth,

Announcing, and so forth, is just at the present moment,

And many kinds of pursuits are totally possible to exist just in front of us.

However, it is perfectly impossible for what has past to exist really at all.


11. Action to look at something, or action to listen to something, and so forth,

Announcing, and so forth, is just at the present moment,

And if such a kind of scenery hasn't been seen yet actually,

It is completely impossible for everyone to look at the excellent effect of Buddhist
monk training in their behavior at all.


12. And such a kind of scenery has existed before it has been influenced by
seeing, and so forth,

So the sceneries exist as the situations, which has been established by the
harmony with the time.

Even though it is impossible for us to know the distinction whether such situations
exist, or not,

The very vague scenery exists there, which might be perhaps a product by human
conjectures probably.

[8] Examination of the Fusion between Action and Conduct](13 verses)

MMK (8) Examination of the Fusion between Action and Conduct (13 verse)

1. The Real Existence, Conduct, and Action,

The Real Existence does never produce this World.

To produce something, is never to produce something abstract at all.

Action does sacrifice itself sometimes for getting some abstract fame.


2. In the Real Existence, Practical Action does never really exist at all.

And Action itself might be different from a person, who actually does the Action
directly.

In the Real Existence, Practical Action does never really exist at all.

A person, who acts some thing to accomplish his aim, has possibility that he
sometimes does not have any special clear aim at all.


3. When something abstract is produced.

The something abstract, which are products, are Action and Practice.

Something unreasonable can exist as Action,

And a person, who acts, can also exist as someone unreasonable actually.


4. There is no special stimulus, and at the same time there is no recognition to be
successful, there might be no possibility to succeed,
And the factor of success can not be recognized at all.

Non existence of the Real Practice and non existence of a person, who practice it by
himself,

The factor of success can not be recognized at all.


5. The coexistence of the Universe and the non-Universe are never recognized,

And relating with their Real Practice and so forth, their real situations, and so forth,
are not so clear.

Even inside the Universe there is no fact of existence, and even in the outside of the
Universe there is no fact of existence at all.

Therefore what are called Results, and what has been born from Results, are not
recognized as real existences at all.



6. Not being grasped by result does not mean being in freedom.

And the situation called “as if it were living in the Paradise”, does not appear at all.

Morals are all belonged to what have been done actually,

And so all actions, which have been done as morals, are never attached by Praja-pati at
all.

7. Doing something is coexistence of the real and the unreal.

But something real and something unreal do not create anything concrete.

Because something real and something unreal are contrasting against with each other,

The Real and the Unreal do never be identified at any place at all.


8. Relying upon the Reality, the Unreality is never created ,

And relying upon the Unreality, the Reality is never produced.

Everything can be intended for a while,

Because even bad conducts at the place are also the same as concrete facts there.


9. It is not the unreal world, or it is not the real world.

It is just the world, which is fusion of the unreal world and the real
world.

Doing something is Action,

And before talking, we are also relying upon reasons.


10. The unreal world does never produce the Real World,

The Real World and the unreal world are also two.

Doing something is just Action,

And before talking, we are also relying upon reasons.


11. The Real World and the unreal world are working,

Reality and unreality both are never producing anything.

Action itself is also some kind of theory or dogma,

And before discussions, there is some kind of problem, which should be considered
theoretically.


12. The truth is just Doing, that is the Real Truth, which is the Action itself.

That is just the Real Truth and Doing something.

The Action does never pervade into the different area,

And it is looking for the methods to get the Highest Happiness actually.


13. Therefore giving up some kinds of sacrifices,

And leaving from giving up we get some parts jobs by ourselves,

Relying upon the assistances, or the alternates,

The left parts of existent works, might be solved as far as possible.

[7] Examination of the External World (34 verses)

MMK (7) Examination of the External World (34 Verses)

1. When this world has appeared,

There might be the three kinds of manifestations, that is,
appearance, continuity, and disappearance.

In such situations this world is just appearance,

And how is it possible for this world to have any kind of
symbolic image?


2. The appearance, and so forth, that is the three, appearance, continuity, and
disappearance, are separated into pieces,

Are not so satisfactory even though relying upon many kinds of characteristics.

The total situations of the world might be belonging to the world,

And it might be only at one place, but why does it exist just at one moment?


3. Appearance, maintenance, and destruction,

And in another expression this world is just a kind of characteristics.

When an unstable world really exists as this world,

Then any world, which is different from this world, can never exist actually at all.


4. Appearance, appearance, and appearance,

The idea, which belongs to a fundamental appearance, may be individual and isolated.

Appearance produces appearance, and that is called appearance.

The fundamental might be born also in the similar case after.


5. Appearance, appearance, and appearance.

If those appearances belong to the fundamental,

How is it possible for the fundamental, which doesn't have any birth, to be born?

And so how is it possible for such a conversation to be born even in future?


6. Actually those are born relying upon fundamental,

And at that time the fundamental will be born.

But, however, the fundamental is not born relying upon the individual,

And so how is it possible for a concrete fact to be born actually?


7. Those things and phenomena are manifesting as they are,

And so what is hopeful is to manifest this here.

And they are just this one, which is manifested as miscellaneous things and phenomena,
totally

They haven’t been born, transcending verbal expressions, that is just this world.


8. What is called "light", is including both subjective idea and objective sense perception.

And so it manifests itself following the method of the subjective consideration and the
objective perception.

A fact that something manifests itself is the manifestation of both the subjective meaning
and the objective form,

And relying upon such a combination of the two factors, the combinations of the two
become possible.


9. In the existence of light, darkness does not exist really.

And so in such a situation, it must be necessary for light to exist there alone.

Why does it possible for light to make other things to be seen?

Because the brightness is able to destroy darkness actually.


10. With what kind of process does it be realized actually?

Relying upon brightness, Darkness might be destroyed.

Because it is not true that the darkness is always keeping to be produced,

Therefore it must be true that the brightness might be able to arrive at every moment.


11. The facts, which are not realized, have come from brightness,

At that time, the destroyer is also darkness again.

And so the object, which is always destroyed, is just darkness itself.

Therefore darkness will be always the cause of going down.


12. Brightness is oneness between something subjective and something objective. ,

Therefore it might be some kind of manifestation at the time.

Darkness is also oneness between something subjective and something objective.

Therefore darkness also covers the facts, which are not clear.


13. What has never been produced, but what has appeared, is this World,

Therefore how is it possible for any subjective personality to be born?

And so appearance might be born as birth,

Therefore how is it possible for birth to be born again actually?

14. This world is not the world, which has been produced, or the world,
which hasn’t be accomplished yet.

How is it possible for the world not to be the world, which hasn’t been born at all?

Even though a concrete thing, which has been born, without having any name yet,

They can be called with the name of “is going”, ”have gone”, or “not have gone.”


15. A fact that something is going on,

Suggests that anything hasn't been accomplished yet.

In that situation what has been going on?

Then it might be a very clear enjoyment of productivity.


16. Miscellaneous things and phenomena can exist as they are,

And those things and phenomena manifest the serene situations as they are.

Therefore what they are manifesting themselves really,

Are the balanced and serene situations as they are just in front of us.


17. When even a little bit of thing hasn’t been seen,

What is called “existence” might be recognized as if it were actually exist.

It might be possible for something to appear from something concrete,

But it might be perfectly impossible for "existence" really to exist at all.


18. To be continuing appearance is appearance,

And so we can say that this world is always being produced incessantly.

To expect such a world is appearance,

And so how is it possible for us to expect the appearance once more?


19. If a little different appearance might be the fact,

Then the appearance might be a little unstable.

In such a situation, nothing has become appeared, is the appearance,

And in that case everything has become accomplished in such situations.


20. Relying upon what really exist, accidence can be recognized,

And what do not exist really, can never be regulated by the real existence at all.

No existence and not to exist are the same meaning,

And before the time, what has been manifested itself, has been shown in front of us
already.


21. In the regulated situations what has been realized has been manifested already,

It does never manifest the appearance of itself in the area of existence at all.

And which is never regulated by any kind of regulation at all.

Therefore actually Existence itself does never manifest itself at all actually.


22. What should not stop, has stopped, is called "existence,"

And the “existence,” which has been stopped, does never stop once more.

The states, which are stopping, do never stop,

And where is it possible for what hasn’t been born to stop actually?


23. Standing still is belonging to the state of self-regulation,

And the self-regulation does not manifest itself in a simple condition of existence.

Such a kind of standing still is beyond the self-regulation totally,

The Real Existence does never manifest itself at all.


24. Aging and death are following the rule of the Universe,

And they are belonging to the whole existence at every moment.

How is it possible for everything to stop at all?

Those existences do not have any aging, or any death.

25. Standing still relying upon other things, is also a kind of standing still, and the state is
confirmed much more stable.

However even though relying upon such a method, the situation is never to be bound
so much.

Belonging to the work is just working for the work itself,

And it is not relying upon myself, or it is not relying upon others.


26. What is not restricted would not be restricted,

And what hasn’t been restricted wouldn’t be restricted.

In such situations even the states, which have been restricted yet,

How is it possible for what hasn't been born, to be restricted actually.


27. As long as we are standing still, we can belong to the state of existence.

The attitude of self-regulation does not appear without efforts to do.

Even just not to stand still, belongs to existence,

And the self-regulation manifests itself.


28. Relying upon such a real situation, the balanced situations have become balanced,
Because the real situations themselves are never be regulated by themselves.,

Utilizing a differently balanced situations, are just the true situations,

And it is never the different one, which is really self-regulated.


29. Just at that time, everything is all things and phenomena in the whole Universe,

And what has appeared already, does never appear again,

Just at that moment everything is just all things and phenomena in the Universe,

And the self-regulation can never be seen from outside at all.


30. From what really exist, an adequate volume belong to existence,

What is adequately self-regulated, does not manifest itself at all.

The fact that something is just only one, does not suggests its existence,

And if it is true, the non-existence of number can never be found at all.


31. Even the non-existence of Reality, has begun to be existent,

Even the denial of existent everything can be possible,

The highest one can never be included into the second-class levels at all.

The perfect destruction can be recognized in such a situation.


32. Without the self-mind, the self-regulation does never exist,

And the self-regulation is never also the same as the objective mind.

What kind of appearance does belong to the appearance?

The appearance is never the subjective mind, or the objective mind.


33. Appearance, continuity, and distraction,

This world does never exist as some thing unfinished.

In this world there is anything unfinished actually,

How is it possible for unfinished world will be finished in future?


34. For example the Supernatural Power, for example a dream,

A fantastic city in the sky, called Gandharva, for example.

Similarly in the case of appearance, similarly in the case of stable situations,

And similarly a very big distraction has been spoken as a rumor.

[6] Examination of the Fusion between Exitement and the Exited (10 verses)

MMK (6) Examination of Fusion between Excitement and the Excited

1. Before leaving from Excitement,

The excited have been clearly included in the excitement,

Something concrete clearly exists as the excitement,

And in the excited the excitement might exist in front of us.


2. Because it is perfectly impossible for excitement to exists in the excited again,

How is it possible for everyone to know where the excitement can exist actually?

However, it is not clear whether excitement exists in the excitement itself, or in the
excited,

And so the real facts in front of us are going on naturally and smoothly.


3. Something, which is very enduring, will appear again,

And that does never explain the fusion between the excited and the excitement at all.

Because what is hopeful is the co-existence of the excitement and the excited,

The reason why the excitement and the excited might not be recognized with each other,
comes from the facts that the excitement and the exited are independent mutually.


4. All things and phenomena are not only one,

Therefore they have to exist at one place together.

Because they are being there separately, therefore they can exist there just now,

Where is it possible for them to live in future for ever?


5. Even at one time if the enduring existence can exist,

Then even the enduring world does not need any kind of enduring.

But the enduring existence exists in the separated situations,

The enduring world does not need even any endurance at all.


6. When enduring existence has been separated,

Then what are the two independent between the excitement and the excided?

Accomplished articles are existences, which are separated from each other one by one.

Enduring existences are things that and this, which are independent and concrete.


7. Things, which have been accomplished, are usually, each of them is independent and
separate.

Then in that case the excitement and the excited might belong to the oneness between
the excitement and the excited.

How is it possible for enduring existence to become the aim?

But now you are very diligent to become successful for you to rely upon Reality.


8. Things, which are separated one by one, are not called what has been accomplished.

Therefore, enduring existences are expected so strongly by you.

Enduring existence might be becoming successful in the aim,

And so you are expecting eagerly to become enduring one by one.


9. Being one by one is never be successful,

And so enduring existence does never mean accomplishment.

Being the better one might be the existence between the two,

Therefore actually you are so anxious to endure existence.


10. In this method, relying upon the excited, or being included by the excitement,

The real accomplishment is sometimes following situations, and sometimes it is
not following to the situations.

What is similar to the Excitement , seems to be the whole Universal Situations,

And so the accomplishment of the Universe is not so following to us sometimes, and
not so unsiutable for us sometimes.

[5] Examination of Physical Substance (8 verse)

MMK (5) Examination of Physical Substances (8 verses)

1. The space hasn’t been recognized at first.

And before that time, the space has been seen as it was looked at.

Therefore without knowing the characteristics, the common scenery might have been passing.

Before that time the characteristics of the space might not be seen before its original condition.


2. When there is no phenomenon at all,

A concept of existence can be recognized a little.

When there is nothing in phenomenon, and when there is nothing in existence,

Just to go ahead is the aim of going, and where the aim itself is?


3. Not in the place, where there is no good indication, or belonging to a good
selection,

A behavior only to go ahead without good selection, does not belong to a real omen
itself.

Even in the case of good selection, or bad selection,

It is not completely different from a selection, which you are selecting now.

4. When some characteristics haven't appeared yet,

Then the characteristics have never been recognized.

When the image of characteristic is not yet recognized,

The characteristic itself never exists in this world at all.


5. Therefore it is impossible for us to recognize a characteristic itself,

And it is impossible for us even to know whether any kind of characteristic really
has been given, or not.

About the characteristic itself, it is not clear whether it has any kind of characteristic,
or not,

And it is completely impossible for the characteristic to be known whether it is
really existing, or not.


6. In the situation that it is not clear whether something exists really, or not,

How is it possible for us to decide that it does not exist decisively?

Discussion between existence and non-existence might be opposite to the Universal
Rule.

What is the meaning that existence and non-existence are a kind of favor?


7. Therefore it is not existence, or not non-existence.

It is not a mark, or never characteristics.

Being in the air, or similar to being in the air.

The miscellaneous matters are 5, and they are having nothing beyond, or after.


8. Reality, or those things and phenomena, are just possible to be seen by ourselves.

And people, who do not affirm the real existence of this world, might have a little
unclever mind in their thoughts.

All things, which exist, can never be seen without fail.

But what can be seen are becoming quiet, and including everything.

[4] Evamination of Aggregates (9 verse)

MMK (4) Examination of Aggregates

1. When all things and phenomena, or material substances, are separated and at random,

Even the form of things and phenomena are not perceived actually.

And even though relying upon all things and phenomena, there is no separation and
freedom.

The oneness of all things and phenomena, or material substances, can be seen as they
are.


2. When all things and phenomena, or material substance, are separated and at random,

Relying upon all things and phenomena, and attached to all things and phenomena,

What is not reasonable, does never exist as aim,

But at the same time something unreasonable might exists somewhere.


3. Relying upon all things and phenomena, it is situations of freedom now,

And then it might be oneness between all things and phenomena, or material existence.

What is in an impossible situation to do, might be what can not be done actually,

And both what can not be done actually, or what might be only material, do not actually
exist.

4. Because of being in all things and phenomena, they belong just to all things and
phenomena.

Material existence does not manifest itself.

Even when all things and phenomena do not exist in all things and phenomena,

Material existence does not manifest itself.


5. The facts that what does not have any cause produces any kinds of things and
phenomena again,

Do never, never, manifest themselves at all.

Therefore all things and phenomena have been produced a little bit already,

And so there is no possibility to be replaced with another contents, or to be desired
to be replaced with others.


6. It is not imitation of material stuff,

But it is just the work, which has been actually created.

It is not purely material substance itself,

But it is just the work, which has been actually created.


7. Mental function to get something is always mutual understandings.

It is always an effort to include everything into one perfectly.
Therefore the all kinds of researches are just belonging to miscellaneous existences,

And just relying upon all things and phenomena, everything is going on ahead.


8. Everything, which is scattered separately at random, is prone to be avoided,

And the creations of the balanced and quiet states, might be talked.

Everything is belonging to the real world, which is not avoided from everything,

And everything is born relying upon the regulated conditions.


9. With miscellaneous explanations in detail, many kinds of defaults have been indicated
and explained,

And the creations of the balanced state in the autonomic nervous system, might
be talked.

Everything, which belongs to reality, does not have any default to be criticized,

Therefore everything has been born similarly being in well-regulated situations actually.

[3] Examination of Eyes and other Sense organs.

MMK (3) Examination of the Eyes and Other Sense Organs

1. Function to see, function to hear, function to smell,

Function to taste, function to touch, and function of central sense perception.

Those six kinds of sense functions are very familiar to us,

And what has been seen, and so forth, are the objects of sense functions.


2. The function of our own mind is also the object to be seen,

Because even the subject to see and the object to be seen are both actually the objects to
be seen.

What can not be seen has been our own mind,

Why such a concrete thing has become to be seen so distant?


3. What we have got relying upon our own enormous efforts,

Are different from a simple fire, which we have got easily,

What has been seen is perfectly opposite to what has been spoken.

What have been spoken are usually very abstract like "Is Going," "Have gone," or
"Haven't gone yet."


4. The situations, which are different from what we are just looking at something, can never
exist actually.

In such a situation, the ability to look at things and phenomena, can never exist at all.

The function to see, has ability to look at like this,

Therefore how is it possible for the facts here can be attached actually?


5. The ability to look at others, can never be seen by others,

And at the same time the ability, which does not have any ability to look at anything
others at all, has no ability to look at too.

The explanations in detail can be done by a person, who looks at everything carefully,

And a person, who can look at everything well, is truly a person, who can be actually
well in approaching the object.


6. A person, who looks at everything well, is not always a person, who does not criticize
anything others at all.

It is sometimes true that an attitude to despise others’ products severely, suggests also
some kinds of sincere attitude to the products.

What has been seen, is just what we have seen actually, and furthermore,

If there were no person, who esteems the product, where can those products actually
exist.


7. Leaving from the wrong idea that What has been seen, and What we have seen, do not
exist really,

The Four, that is, consideration, perception, action at the present
moment, and Reality itself, are this World.

If we insist that it is perfectly impossible for perception, consideration, Action at the
present moment, and Reality, not to exist,

What kind of Real Existence can really exist even in future at all?


8. The explanations of function to hear, function to smell,

Function to taste, function to touch, and function of the central sense perception,

Can be explained relying upon the function to see as a matrix,

Therefore it is possible for us to utilize it for to hear and what is heard, and other kinds
of sense functions too.

[2] Examination of 'Gone' and 'Not Gone' (25 Verse)

[2] Examination of 'Gone' and 'Not Gone' (25 Verses)

1. As a memory of action in the past 'Gone' is absolutely different from a real act to go at the present moment,

Similarly a supposition of action in future 'Not Gone' is also absolutely different from a real act to go at the present moment.

And leaving from a memory in the past 'Gone' and leaving from an
image in future 'Not Gone',

Even a present recognition of 'Is Going' is also absolutely different
from a real Act dimensionally, which is actually going on just at the
present moment.


2. A motion of hands and feet at some place is just going forward at the place,

And in such a situation, the real facts of going on are there in the motion of going on.

Motions of hands and feet are sometimes not to go, and sometimes
not to come.

Going just at the place is also belongs to going on.


3. The Action to go belongs to the state of going,

Therefore how is it necessary for us to utilize the name of going?

The states of going on have to be included into the two kinds, that
is, going as concept, and the other is as a physical motion of going,

And then it is not necessary for both the two images of the
going itself and the physical motion of going, to manifest
themselves at all.


4. A real act to go actually, is included into the state of going on,

And a state of going on and a Real Act to go have adhered with each
other tightly together.

A state to be going on, moves following a motion of going on.

Because the state of going on actually goes forward by itself
exactly.


5. Being included by the Real Act to go, and being in the Real Act to go,

The two factors of the Real Act to go, that is, a state of going on and
the Real Act to go itself,

With what kind of method have they been combined into one
confirmed situation?.

Because in that case relying upon such a method, the Real Act to go
has been realized again.

6. The two factors of a person to go and an Action to go itself, are so combined confirmedly,

And so the two parts of the confirmedly combined into one have
been produced so hard.

Therefore, what might be produced, may become the object of so
hard criticism,

And so there may be no sufficient possibility for such a production
shall be realized actually.


7. When someone has been criticized because of having made mistakes,

The action, which has been done, usually would not become clear.

Furthermore, usually the person, who has committed it, is not clear,

In such situations where does the criminal exist even in future?


8. An Action to go does never go ahead,

And similarly an Action not to go does never go ahead at all.

A different person other than who goes, does never go,

And then what kind of the third person, actually goes?


9. A fact that a motion to go moves even a bit,

Can never occur even in future at all.

If we are relying upon only our Action to do without any
personal decision to work,

Then any kinds of phenomena do not manifest themselves at all for
ever.


10. The opinion that one of the two between the person to go and the
Action to go, goes,

Has too much one-sided attitude in decision of selecting that or
this.

In the action to go, there is no person, who acts.

Therefore it might be hopeful that the person, who acts, likes the
action to do so much.


11. In the real act to go, the two factors of a real act to go and a
physical motion to go are enormously combined with each other.

And in that case a person, who goes, is also emphasized actually.

In such a situation a person, who likes to get the position of the job
enormously,

Will get the job relying upon the adequate method to go on.
12. It is impossible that a real act to go might be born in a memory of
having gone at all,

And it is also impossible that a real act to go might be born in a
supposition in future.

And it is also impossible that a real act to go might actually realize
itself in recognition of going on,

Therefore in any case it is perfectly impossible for us to fix the time
of starting a Real Act to go actually.


13. If the start of real act to go hasn't become going on,

It is impossible for the state of going to appear at all, and it is also
impossible for the act of having gone to stop.

In such a situation it is necessary for the Real Act to go should be
done actually,

And it is completely impossible for the real act not to be done at
all.


14. How is it possible for having gone to be the same as going on
actually?

How is it possible for having gone to be the same as not having
gone, or how is it for having gone to be replaced with others?

The idea that there might be something, which can not be seen,
may exists as the first step,

But the all cases actually belong to the Real Action to go totally.


15. The motion to go is not stagnant,

And in the same situations the motion not to go, is not stagnant.

And all kinds of other Action, which do not belong to either to
go, or not to go, do not belong to Action to go,

Then what kind of third one is stagnant in that case?


16. A fact that a motion to go has tendency to be stagnant even a little,

Does never manifest itself even in future at all.

Without a motion to go, relying upon only the Real Action to go,

The Real Action can never occur at all even at any time.


17. Leaving a state of going on, the stagnation does never exist,

And leaving from having gone, or leaving from not having gone,
the stagnation does never exist also.

When a Real Action to go has manifested itself,

Then in the case of stopping Action, or in the case of going to act,
situations are perfectly balanced.


18. When the Real Act to go motion to go balanced,

The real situation is just the balanced state, but such a kind of
balanced state, is never attached.

In another words the balanced state is just also the motion to go.

And the expression, ﾒrelying upon the motion to goﾓ, is not so
reliable expression.


19. When a Real Action to go is just the same as a motion to go,

The Real Fact exists really just as the same as the example, which
really exists, then,

The Real Thing, which is going to become into one,

And so the efforts to produce something, and the real Act to
produce something, might be the same actually.


20. In another method it is just coming back to a motion to go.

And in that case consideration might be changed from Action
itself.

In that case the Real Action to go might move to motion to
go,
And the motion to go might move leaving from the Real Action to
go.


21. Relying upon becoming into one totally, or accomplishing the
aim,

Or relying upon miscellaneous methods, or relying upon including
the method above too,

But it is impossible for us to recognize the two targets together at
once,

And so, how is it possible for us to hit the two targets together at
once.


22. Relying upon a concrete motion to go, it is possible for us to
set away the Real Action to go,

The subject of going and the object of going do not go ahead
actually.

Therefore before the motion to go doesn't exist really,

Some kind of receptacle with subjective layers and objective
layers, goes on ahead.


23. Relying upon a concrete motion to go, some expansion actually
goes, is development.

And actually speaking, anything other than that does not go
really.

A concrete going does never appear being divided into two.

Therefore relying upon such a situation, it is possible for us to
keep authority relying upon only going on.


24. The Real Existence, the Real Action to go, and the Real
Motion to go,

Those three kinds of Real Existences are Real, but those each three
does never go on separately.

The not-real existences can never be the Real Act to go,

And the three kinds of Real Existence go on as the Reality.


25. A Real Action to go, the Real World itself, and the Unreal World,

Those three kinds of layers do never go ahead at all.

Therefore the going to go, the persons to have worked,

And the processes, which have been realized, are completely
impossible for everyone to see at all.

An interpretative translation of MMK.

Recently I have begun to write "An interpretative translation of MMK" in my document in Word, and so I would like to show the same document in my Dogen Sangha Blog too.



A Song of The Fundamental Truth on The Middle Way


[1] Examination of The Real Truth (14 Verse)

1. The Real Truth is different from subjective ideas, which have been produced in human brain, or the Real Truth is never sense stimuli, which have been received from the external world.

The Real Truth is not the mixture of the subjective ideas or the
objective sense stimuli, but The Real Truth is never anything
illogical.

Miscellaneous things and phenomena are always manifesting
themselves as they are.

And what is called existence does never exist really anywhere, or
does not exist in anything.


2. The Real Truth as four are Reason, which is pervading through the
Universe,

The external world, which is hanging in front of us, and the present
moment, at which our action is always done,

And the Reality, which seems to be the Ruler of all things and
phenomena.

But the Real Truth, which is No. 5, does never exist anywhere at
all.


3. A Real Act to go belong to the motion of going,

And so how is it necessary for a Real Action to have any kind of
different name at all.

The states of going on have always have the two kinds of going, that
is, the motion of going, and the other is the progress of going. ,

Therefore in that case there is no new appearance at all.


4. The Real Act to go always belongs to the motion of going,

And something related with going on, and something related with the Real Action, have combined into one.

The True Reality can never be an imitation of Real Action,

Because it is clear that something, which might be the same as a
continuous Action, really exists in front of us.


5. In the continuity of going on, and in the Real Action of going on,

What is called the attached situations may be the two kinds of
separated parts,

The one is just the concrete facts of continuous going on,

And the other is just the Real Act here, which is the Real Action to
go here again.


6. The two factors, the one is a person to go and the other is an Action to be done, are combined into one,

The two factors of the Real Action to go, that is, a person to go, and
an Action to be done, are combined into one confirmedly.

Generally speaking, a person, who is criticized by others, is prone
to be the objects of othersﾕ censure.

Therefore the problem of Action to go itself is prone to disappear
naturally.


7. When a person, who acts, is criticized,

A problem of the Real Action to do, does not appear actually to be
the special object discussed at all.

If there were no chance for everyone to do anything at all,
it might be very happy,

But where is it possible for anyone to have such a happy condition,
even anywhere at all?


8. Just the hanging world is this world,

Therefore the Real Universe has been shown already.

Just in the hanging world, or in the Universe,

Where is it necessary for us to find the hanging world again?


9. In the Universe, which hasnﾕt been accomplished yet,

The self-regulation does never appear actually at all.

The ceaseless considerations can never be any kind of fetters for
us at all.

The Real Truth in our self-regulation might be just something
ineffable.


10. All existences themselves originally do not have any characteristics,

The facts of existences are never recognized as something
ordered.

And even though there is an idea that this world is existing relying
upon the world itself,

Such situations of the real world can never be seen like that at
all.


11. Never being scattered from each other, or accumulated together,

Because of the Real Truth, a concrete result does exist really.

But how is it possible for the result to be, relying upon the True
Reality.

However in that case the result is never expected because of relying
upon such miscellaneous Real Truths.


12. Actually there, something real, and even something concrete,

Are going on following miscellaneous Real Truth itself.

In the case relying upon the wrong Real Truth, all things and
phenomenon will vanish,

But it is perfectly impossible for result itself to go ahead at all.


13. Actually speaking, results are just enemies against the Real Truth,

And the Real Truths just hurts poor people.

Even though result has tendency to bring up poverty,

How is it possible for result to have the power to destroy the
Real Truth absolutely?


14. Therefore result can never have any power to destroy the Real
Truth at all.

And at the same time result does never have any power to destroy
wrong Real Truth at all.

When we have got from the synthetic point of view that result
does never actually exist at all,

Where can we find the Real World, which is constructed from the
combination of Real Truth and wrong Real Truth together totally?

[5] Examination of Material Substance.

MMK (5) Examination of Material Substance.

1. Before the age, when the characteristics of space haven't been clear yet,

The space hasn't become the object of recognition at all.

The time, when the space has become recognised as it is, might be since the time when people have become able to discuss the space,

But before that time it might be impossible for people to understand that the space had also had some kinds of characteristics, at all.


2. At the age, when it was perfectly impossible for human beings to know the characteristics of the space,

The existence of the space hasn't been known at every district at all,

And because the existence of characteristics had been too much vague,

Even in the case that the space actually was going on, it was impossible for everyone to find the place, where the characteristics actually were.


3. A fact, that something does not belong to a group which has any kind of
characteristic,

Suggests that it belongs to a group, which has some common characteristics.

When something is only intending to go ahead, it might not have entered even into the efforts of entrance into any characteristic yet.

Furthermore when a similar characteristic and a different characteristic are combined into one, the same combination between the similar one and the different one can never occur again at all.


4. In a case that some characteristic hasn't appeared yet,

It might be completely impossible for the characteristic to manifest itself at all.

And in the situations when any kind of characteristic hasn't appeared yet,

It might be impossible for us to look at the fact that whether any kind of characteristic actually exists in the characteristic, or not.


5. Therefore it is impossible for us to recognise a characteristic itself,

And it might be impossible for us even to know whether any kind of characteristic really exists, or not.

About the characteristic itself, it is not clear whether it has any kind of characteristic, or not,

And it might be completely impossible for the characteristic to be known whether it is actually existing, or not, at all.


6. In the situation that it is not clear whether something exists really, or not,

How is it possible for us to decide that it does not exist decisively even in future?

The decision that something does exist really, or something does not exist really, has already
got out from the true reason, and so,

Our act to decide either something exists, or not, might be impossible for them to receive the
benevolence of afirmation by the Universe at all.


7. Therefore there is no fact that something exists intellectually, or something does not exist intellectually.

And so there is no characteristic intellectually, and there is no fact to have any kind of characteristic intellectually.

The space and the other concepts other than the space are the five kinds of substances, that is, the earth, the water, the fire, the air, and the space,

And those are the five kinds of Substances, are never estrangement from us as
the five kinds of concepts at all.


8. Those things and phenomena are just possible to be seen by ourselves exactly.

However people, who are not so clever, think that those things and phenomena do not exists actually.

They do not look at those things and phenomena in front of us really as the excellently happy Substance,

Which are just existing in front of us as the excellently balanced happiness just in front of us.

MMK (4) Examination of Concepts

1. When form and concept of things and phenomena seem to be separate with each other,

Even the form of things and phenomena is not actually seen in its true meaning.

It is not true that form and concept seem to be separate because they are actually separate,

But it is true that form and concept are originally fused into one, therefore they can be seen
to be one.


2. When form and concept are separated from each other,

The form itself has been attached too much to be separate from concept.

It is never true that originally something unreasonable might exists as its cause,

But there is a problem that what kind of the unreasonable is, and it is the problem that
where what is unreasonable is.


3. However it is not true that only form is responsible to have the separation between form
and concept,

But really thinking in that case, the real situations might be that form and concept have been fused together perfectly in the original situation.

The real situations might be that, because of the inseparability between form and concept,
and the real situations of the material factors.

There is no reason not to be combined, and the separation hasn't been done actually.


4. The meaning of the words "relying upon form," might mean that what is seen is relying upon form,

And so there is no situation that substance manifests itself.

In the case that the situation does not rely upon form, even in the case that the situation
does not rely upon form, might suggest that the situation might relate with form in some meaning,

And so substance hasn't enter yet into the situation to manifest itself actually.


5. The situation, which hasn't come from any cause, is just form,

And so such a kind of form does never have any ability to manifest itself at all,

And at the same time it is completely impossible for anything to change itself to others.
Therefore there is no fact that form has been produced at all,

And it is also impossible for anything different to replace itself with something original,
But such kinds of impossible occurrences are usually desired to occur like that by many
poeple enormously.


6. It is not an imitation of what is expected,

But the performance, which is just expected, has been manifested itself actually.

Different from an imitation of what has been expected,

But the job, which has been done already, has manifested itself actually.


7. Action and observation for discovery has been included in miscellaneous clear understanding
already,

And the work is just to settle a dispute, and so it is related with an inclusive operation.

It is just a total research of inclusive contents, and so it is conained by miscellaneous beings,

Therefore the whole works are relying upon the external view, and at the same time all works are much related with the total progress of the whole contents.


8. The work should be avoided from an isolated situation,
And it is said that the work should be done in the stillness, which has been manifested by
the balanced state of the autonomic nervous system.

It is insisted that all things and phenomena are belonged to something concrete,

And so the work should not be isolated from common societies,

And it is insisted that the product should be done in the well-sistematized situations.


9. Miscellaneous defects have been indicated and explained in detail already,

And it is insisted that such kinds of theoretical explanations can be done on the serene
state, which has been given by the balanced authonimic nervous system.

All things and phenomena don't have any kind of frults, which should be criticized,

Therefore everything has been produced similarly being in well-managed situation actually.

3. The Schientific Research.

[3] Six Kinds of the Sense Perceptions.

MMK (3) Examination of the Eyes and Other Sence Organs

1. Function to see, function to hear, fuction to smell,

Fuction to taste, fuction to touch, and function of central sense perception.

Those six kinds of sense functions are very familiar with us,

And what has been seen, and so forth, are the objects of sense functions.


2. Because a function of our own mind works as the function to see,

It is impossible for our mental function to see and the object to be seen, will both become
the object to be seen together at all.

Something, which can never be seen by ourselves, is just our own mind,

And so how is it possible for us to get some kind of very vague objects, which exist so far at
the opposite side from us, to get into our own range of vision even in future at all?


3. What we have got relying upon our enormous efforts,

Are different from a simple fire, which we have got easily,

And so even though the thing is just to be looked at only, it has some kind of dignity as a
thing surely, which has been accomplished as an article.

A fact, which can be seen with our own eye, is actually talked in very familiar situations,
Therefore as I have explained the example in detail in the chapter 2,
Simple verbal explanations of "Is going on,""Have gone," and "Haven't gone," are totally
different from the real act to go just at the real present moment.


4. If we have had the idea that there is nothing, which can not be seen, in the world,

Contrariwise, it might be possible for us to lose our own ability to look at everything really
at all.

To look at something suggests that there is inevitably something to be seen,

And so it is necessary for us to think that it is not always attached to some strange idea at all.


5. It can never occur for a function to see to be seen by others at all.

It can never occur for any blind man to look at the real situation of his blindness at all.

The exact explanations of the actual facts might be possible by looking at the fact directly,

And so it is possible to say that efforts to look at evrything carefully are just the methods to approach everything actually.


6. It is not alway true that an action to look at something does not include any kind of contempting meaning.

When someone looks at something, there are possibility that he is looking at it sometimes
with some kind of contempt.

The meaning of words "looking at" usually includes that everyone, who looks at the object,
can usually esteem the value of it.

Therefore it might be completely impossible for the object to be unclear whether it is
valuable, or not.


7. When we have got rid of an idea that it is actually impossible for the situations, in which the states that things and phenomena can be seen clearly and ability to look at them have been combined into one really,

The four kinds of Truths, that is, consideration, perception, Action, and Reality, work together as their real functions

If there were possibile that consideration, perception, Action, and Reality do not really exist,

What kinds of Things and Phenomena can actually exist at all?


8. The explanations of function to hear, function to smell,

Function to taste, function to touch, and function of the central sense perception,

Can be done relying upon the function to see as a matrix,

Therefore it is possible for us to utilize it for to hear and what is heard, and other kinds of sense functions.

[2] (25) The Real Situations and Recognition.

Real Action to go, the Real World, and the unreal World,

Those Three Kinds of processes do never go ahead,

Therefore following such situations, an action to go, and a person to go, and an accomplished facts,

Can never be recognized at all.

[2] (24) Real World, a Real Action to go, and a Person, who goes.

The Real World, Real Action to go, and a personality to go,

Those Three Kinds of Processes do never go ahead,

And Non-Realistic World can never be something to go at all.

But in Reality, the Three Kinds of Processes, which are real, go actually.

[2] (23) Fusion between a fact to go and a person to go.

Motion to go and a person to go, both go together is going.

Therefore any another expansion does not go further actually,

And then both motion to go, and a person to go, do never appear,

But relying upon only one fact everything totally goes on.

[2] (22) Precedence of motion to go itself.

Relying upon someone's promotions, someone's motion to go is realized.

However, the fact to go itself, does never go ahead yet,

In the real situations, before the real going is actually done,

Some kind of subjective, and some kind of objective, that is, a kind of receptacle actually goes.

[2] (21) Real situations of inclusive and individual Things and Phenomena.

Becoming only into One, or Arriving at the only One Aim,

Might be miscellaneous kinds of things, or the both two kinds of things together.

The things, which has been separated into the two parts,

Can never be recognized at all.

[2] (20) A fact to go and motion to go.

In another case of going again,

The case of going might be changed then.

And the Real Action might move as a kind of going,

Then the real kind of going, might move perhaps leaving from the Real Action to go.
