MMK (22) Examination of Reality Coming

1. Matter, perception, consideration, action, and consciousness,
When we compare those five kinds of aggregations with each other,
It is sure that those five kinds of aggregations have their differences actually,
However, at the same time, if we do not check them as the real things in front of us,
It is sometimes impossible for us to know the real difference between them.

However, just at the case of Reality Coming, being different from the case of five kinds of aggregations,
Even though we pick up any kinds of things among many,
They are all Reality Coming without fail.


2. However, in the case of Gautama Buddha, when he is perceiving miscellaneous kinds of aggregations,
At any moment any kinds of subjective idea of Gautama Buddha does never exists in his brain at all.

And the subjective idea, which has been thought in his brain, hasn't been existing at all really,
How is it possible for any kind of objective perceptive contents to exist anywhere at all?


3. And at the same time, because there are so clear contents of perception are manifested in front of us concretely,
And so what they are not called Spirit or Soul will appear actually.

And such a kind of objects, which can not be called Spirit or Soul, might be just something concrete,
And so how is it possible for them to exist as Reality Coming even in future to exist at all?


4. And furthermore the subjective ideas, which are thought in the brain, can never be real existence,
And so it is perectly impossible for the objective sense stimuli also to exist on the earth really at all.

However at the same time when subjective consideration and objective stimuli moves together,
Something to be impossible to express with words are just the concrete arrival of Reality Coming itself.


5. At the time before when miscellaneous aggregations haven't be confirmed,
Even though it was the slightest volume, there were possibility of Reality Coming having existed.

Such a kind of facts are also popular at the present moment,
And the situations are going to become more and more bigger,
Therefore there are so much possibility for us to receive the enormous acceptance really.


6. At the stage that miscellaneous aggregations are not so well used sufficiently,
It is perfectly impossible for a slightest Reality Coming to exist at all.

And such a kind of situations are lacking perfectly because of lacking benevolence,
How is it possible for the arrival of the concrete facts to be realized to occur even in future at all?


7. If there were so lacking that even the slightest thing can never be got at all,
In the opposite situations there might be possible for some case,
Where it is perfectly impossible for us to get anything at all.

If there were no chance for us to be emancipated from desire, or such attachment to human life at all,
How is it possible for us to have even the shortest time of Reality Coming at all?


8. If it is impossible for you to rely upon both something real and something unreal,
The reliable criteria are just The Great and Perfect Wisdom, The Wisdom of Equality, The Intuitive and Fine Wisdom, The Widom to Accomplishing Work, and The Wisdom of the Universe.

How will it be possible for us to see through Reality Coming relying upon sensitive conception concretely?


9. A person, who has ability to realize the concrete thing at this place, does not like to recognize
miscellaneous subjective thoughts at all.

Because the subjective thoughts do not exist anywhere at all,
Therefore where will it be possible for us to find the result of objective and real perception exactly?


10. In the case like this, that the situations of the autonomic nervous system has become balanced actually,
What we have actually perceived, is just all itself.

If we utilize the serene situations of the autonomic nervous system actually for utilizing our intuitive ability well,
How is it necessary for us to emphasize especially that the serene situations of the balanced autonomic nervous system, must be the whole part of the Reality Coming itself.


11. We must never be sufficient enough for us only to talk about the serene situations of the balanced autonomic nervous system with words.
Of course there is just possibility for the even unstable situations without any balanced state of the autonomic nervous system to exist.

Relating with the situations of the autonomic nervous system, there are insistences of the two,
That is, the one insists that both the balanced states and unbalanced states exist, and the other one insists that both the balanced and unbalanced states do not exist.
However, when we think about the target of the intuitive decision, the problem can become just the target of the intuitive judgement.


12. The problem, whether the Universe is eternal, or not, exists in front of us,
And even the four philosophies, Idealism, Materialism, philosophy of Action, and Reality,
Are not so clear for them whether they are possible to become harmonized with each other, or not.

Even though the existence of the problem whether this world will have the End, or not, is very clear in front of us now, but the answer is not clear,
And even the four philosopyies of Idealism, Materialism, Philosophy of Action, and Reality,
Where will they enter into harmony, is not always clear at all.


13. The fact, that we are keeping our stable situations, is just the realization of the aim,
And relying upon the fact, the Reality Coming is comfirmed stably.

As a real situation there is no problem, which we need to exchange with others,
And actually the situations, which are enclosed by peace and happiness, have been continuing for so long time as if it were eternal.


14. In the case when facts, which are based upon subjective ideas, exist in the serene conditions relying upon the balanced autonomic nervous system,
There is no possibility that following the influence of secular societies in the world,
some kinds of anxious problems will be able to occur at all.

However, if it is possible for perfectly opposite situations to exist leaving from the self-regulated conditions,
And after all, the perfectly opposite social situations will exist leaving from the self-regulated conditions,
And still there the social situations that people, who have not understood Gautama Buddha's teachings, are living without any change.


15. If many people will make their efforts to promote themselves for having the similar pesonality to Gautama Buddha,
It might not occur the similar facts in the past, which have experienced so excellent developments, but at the same time we should never experience an enormous decay suddenly.

However, if those people totally will make their efforts to destroy their enormous efforts till then,
It might be impossible for them to experience the Reality Coming at all.


16. Even though the Reality Coming has some factor of inherited characters in some meaning,
The facts might be the replacement of the inherited caracters with the objective facts, and the motion of them.

The Reality Coming is in some meaning showing the lacking some special character,
However just at the place where something is lacking, there is objective facts, and some movement.

MMK (21) Examination of Coexistence and Universal Existence

1. In the case of Coexistence and Universal Existence,
When the one does exist, it is perfectly impossible for the other not to exist,
And Universal Existence is always relying upon Coexistence.

In the case of Coexistence and Universal Existece,
When the one actually exists,
It is completely impossible for the other one not to exist,
And Coexistence inevitably rely upon Univasal Existence.


2. If there were no name of Coexistence,
It is completely impossible for the name of Universal Existence can manifest itself even in future.

Even when both birth and death do not exist at all,
It is perfectly impossible for words of Universal Existence and Coexistence not to exist as a pair at all.


3. Even though Universal Existence is just relying upon Coexistence,
It is completely impossible for both Coexistence and Universal Existence not to be the pair at all even in future.

Even though it is never possible for birth and death to be similar to each other at all,
Birth and death can be recognized relying upon the ideas in the modern age.


4. How is it actually possible even in future that even though there were no name of the Universal Existence,
But it is possible for the name of Coexistence to exist even in future?

Miscellaneous facts, which are called the past, are very difficult for us to recognize whether those have actually occured, or not,
And so it is very difficult for us to know when they have actually happened exactly.


5. Coexistence is just relying upon Universal Existence.
However, how it is possible for us to know the fact that Coexistence and Universal Existence are existing together at the same time even in future?

It is perfectly impossible for birth and death to occur at the same time together.
Because it is perfectly impossible for us to recognize that birth and death have occured at the same time.


6. Even though a fact that one thing and another thing are existing together, seems to be showing an accomplished style,
But a scenary that one thing and another thing are existing separately, seems only for the two things are existing to be as they are.

The situation, that two things are existing separately, can not be seen as an accomplished article,
But how is it possible for us to recognize as to be an accomplished article even in that case?


7. It is impossible for the facts to occur that two places are coexisting together,
And at the same time, it is also impossible for two things to coexist together at separate two places being identified.

Even though it is impossible for Universal Existence of residences to exist,
But at the same time there is no possibility for any place not to be able to become a place of residence.


8. Both in the case of Coexistence and in the case of Universal Existence being perfectly similar,
It is impossible for us to find a place, where it is perfectly impossible for us to find the place to live.

Both in the case of Coexistence and in the case of Universal Existence similarly,
It is perfectly impossible for everyone to find a place, where it is impossible for him to find any place, where it is impossible for him to live.


9. Coexistence and Universal Existence are completely similar not to manifest themselves when the Autonomic Nervous system are balanced.

Coexistence and Universal Existence are completely the same not to manifest themselves when the Autonomic Nervous system are not balanced.


10. Coexistence and Universal Existence are perfectly the same not to manifest themselves, Without being a pair.

But at the same time Coexistence and Universal Existence are perfectly the same not to manifest themselves,
Without showing themselves perfectly different with each other.


11. Coexistence has been seen as just Coexistence clearly,
And Universal Existence has been existing as Universal Existence clearly.

Coexistence has just been seen very clearly, and at the same time Universal Existence has been seen also as the same form without having any mistakes.


12. Existence does never appear leaving from existence,
And at the same time there is no possibility for existence to be born leaving from not to exist.

It is perfectly impossible for the facts not to exist to be born,
And it is perfectly impossible for a fact, which does not exist, to be born without leaving from the fact to be existing.


13. The fact, that something subjective hasn't been born, is existence,
And something objective can never be born at all.

The subjective and the objective can never be the same.
Both the subjective and the objective do not have possibility to be born.
How is it possible for them to have possibility to be born?


14. Even though existence is passive to manifest itself,
In the case of eternity or extinction they can be seen with eyes.

Even though it is easy for concrete existence to be shown as the innate factor,
Even in the case of not innate, it is also possible for real fact to exist as a real situation too.


15. Even though it is passive for existence to manifest itself actually,
It is never true for what hasn't been broken not to be broken for ever.

Because lines of appearance, disappearance, and continuity, are actually continuing even today,
Relying upon result and relations of cause and effect.


16. The lines of appearance, disappearance, and continuity, exist concretely relying upon results and the rule of cause and effect.

Therefore even death, as an accident of only one time, is also much related with the rule of cause and effect complicatedly.


17. If we are belonging to the real world, and furthermore we are relying upon subjective ideas,
There is completely no possibility for us to be bound by abstract thoughts at all.

When we are staying in the serene state being controled by the balance of the autonomic nervous system,
Even an extinction will leave its state of stopping, and continue its existence in continuity.


18. Not in the last stage, or not in an instant stop,
The highest philosophy is always combined with the constant Reality without exception.

In the ultimate stage, and in the different stage from losing well-controlled conditions,
The most excellent principle is always combined with Reality without fail.


19. In the situations, where we can regulate ourselves perfectly,
And so when we are in the last stage, therefore whenever we are in the ultimate situation,
The only one situation, that is, the highest situation, has been born already.

There is only one situation, which is perfectly self-regulated,
And it seems that there is possibility that the real situation of something, which is going to be born,
Is actually existing exactly.


20. The problem is never attached with the problem whether we ourselves are perfectly self-regulated, or not, or whether anything is going on to be born, or not.

By relying upon saving the 50% increase, we are thinking carefully to bring forth the elements,
Which are necessary for us to intend for producing the necessary stuff for our daily life.


21. Relying upon such a method, we are never intending to continue the restriction in the three kinds of time, past, present, and future,

And in the three kinds of time, past, present, and future, such kinds of facts do not really exist,
And how is it possible for such a situation to continue existing as the ties, which is used for combining birth and the relations of cause and effects together further?

MMK (20) Examination of the Synthetic Grasp

1. When Reason and miscellaneous true teachings, are pervasive,
Many kinds of synthetic grasp can be born at every moment.

However, relying upon the synthetic grasp, when what is called result has been really exsisting,
How is it possible for the synthetic grasp to be newly born at all?


2. Being helped by Reason and miscellaneous true teachings,
At every time when the synthetic grasp has been born,

What is called result, receiving the influence of synthetic grasp, does never exist really at all,
And so how is it possible for the synthetic grasp to be born again once more?


3. When we are relying upon Reason, or miscellaneous kinds of true teachings,
Being helped by the synthetic grasp, there is possibility for result to exist really.

The fact for perception to be workable does never relying upon the synthetic grasp,
And when we rely upon the synthetic grasp, the perception does not work at all.


4. When we are relying upn Reason, or miscellaneous kinds of true teachings,
Being helped by the synthetic grasp, there is possibility for result not to exist completely at all.

Miscellaneous kinds of Reason and miscellaneous kinds of true teachings have also possibility to solve all kinds of problems completely being helped by different true teachings other than Reason.


5. A present, which is received because of a good result, is reasonable,
And so the presenter's autonomic nervous system might be always balanced.

And when such a kind of present is well-regulated, the presenter's Reason might be well regulated,
Because in his Reason, there may be the two kinds of factors having been separated into both the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.


6. A present, which originally includes some kind of thanks for rewards reasonably,
The Reason might be always self-regulated without fail,

When something, which has been born relying upon Reason, is having been born being self-regulated,
Therefore actually speaking, the real result might be some times unreasonable.


7. When the result has been identified with something, which has been got relying upon the synthetic grasp,
It will occur usually that some scene, which can be seen actually with eyes, manifests itself without fail.

And the facts that both result and sinthetic grasp will appear together actually,
Suggests that such a kind of facts have been born really without fail.


8. Before following such a synthetic grasp exactly, there might be possibility that result has been looked beforehand.

In the case that Reason and the true teachings have been emancipated temselves perfectly,
There might be possiblity that result hasn't been identified with Reason actually.


9. Because result has been self-regulated by Reason already,
What has been manifested itself, might be possible to be identified with Reason.

Because result has been self-regulated by Reason before being born,
If someone insists that what has been manifested again is inevitably a reborn fact of the same facts before,
Such interpretation must be too much attached to the secular ideas enormously.


10. The facts, which are much expected, might have occurred actually,
And it might be never true that the becoming weaker in suppressing birth has increased the number of birth, at all.

How is it possible for the establishment of Reason to be the cause of decreasing births.
It might seem that something, which has been considered after looking at the result, has been concealed actually.


11. In such situations one of the two, that is, the decrease of suppression, or the establishment of Reason, naturally appears,
But actually speaking, it seems that something true might be concealed secretly.

A fact, that something can not be seen by eyes, is not always so absolutely different from the fact, that something can be seen by eyes,
Therefore there might be possibility that Reason will produce result.


12. Whether something is included into the past, or not,
Will be decided inevitably following the real situations in the past.
Therefore the problem whether some fact is included into the past, or not,
Is also decided by the real situations in the past.

Whether isn't it not to be born, or whether isn't it to be born,
Might be known whether the friendly relations have been occurred actually, or not.


13. The situation that the fact is not inclued to be born, is relying upon the fact not to be born, And so everything has been relying upon the facts that the birth hasn't been born,
Therefore we can say that everything must be decided by situations of cause and effect, which are included in the cause.

Without relying upon the past, or without relying upon to be born,
The real existence, or not, of the friendly relations, are always can be known clearlly.


14. Whether the real situations do not belong to the possibility not to be born, or not,
Must be known clearly by the fact to be born,
And so whether the cause to be born has been included among the many causes, or not,
Can be known clearly following the rule of cause and effect.

Without being noticed only by not to be born, or being known by the fact of abortion,
In every cases it can be known whether there were any kind of friendly relations, or not.


15. Relying upon the fact that there were no birth actually,
To decide whether there were the mutual friendly relations, or not,
Might be reasonable.
How is it possible for us to expect the occurrence of reult without any cause?

Whether there were clear facts, or whether there were any kind of clear meeting actually,
Is the fundamental basis,
And how is it possible for anyone to produce any kind of result artificially at all?


16. In the case that because of some kind of cause, Reason has entered into the balanced and serene state of the autonomic nervous system in the stable condition,
How is it necessary for us to dig up any kind of cause for such a state intentionally?

Even in the case that, because of some cause, Reason has lost the balance of the autonomic nervous system, and the serene and stable comditions,
How is it necessary for us to dig up any kind of cause for such a state intentionary?


17. There is no fact that a kind of cause has sprung up suddenly to produce an unstable autonomic nervous system,

And at the same time there is no fact that the unselfish situations has never been born,
And it will not occur even in future for something real to produce unbalanced situation even in future.


18. The balanced and serene situations are not the state, which manifests itself newly,
And the balanced and serene situations are not the state, which will vanish at random without any Reason in future.

The balanced and serene situations are just the conditions, which do not have any charactor to be disturbed by anything suddenly,
But the fact, that the condition, which does not have any possibility to vanish, would vanish suddenly,
Might suggest that the people's attitude has usually too much attachment to the secular life abnormally.


19. Reason, when we look at it from the ralation with result,
There is possibility that Reason might be perfectly only one together with result.
Because both Reason and result might be not always manifesting their forms without fail.

Reason, when it is looked at in a relation with result, has possibility that Reason is completely different from result.
Because both Reason and result have also possibility to be manifesting their images at any time without fail.


20. Result and Reason perhaps might have the common characteristics together.
The reason, why it is possible for both result and Reason to be considered as the common character,
Might be that Reason, which has power to produce ideas, and result, which has character to be born,
Can be identified to be the same one.

In the situation that result and Reason have been separated into the two,
The real situations for result and Reason to be combined into one,
Might be perhaps that what is reaonable actually and result, which does not rely upon Reason at all,
Are also very similar with each other actually.


21. Result is one, to which subjective idea and actually true Reality are combined together,
Therefore result can never be the same as something, which Reason will produce in Future.

Result is one, to whch subjective idea and actually true Reality are combined together,
Therefore result can never be the same as something, which can be produced in future.


22. Being completely different from agitators' desire, something, which is very similar to the reasonable manifests itself actually.

At the stage, that something reasonable hasn't manifested itself yet at all,
Where is it possible for some result to exist at any place at all?


23. The True Teachings are never included into only miscellaneous reasonable ideas at all.
A simple facts at this place will produce the Soul relying upon the Soul.

Miscellaneous things and phenomena, which have been produced by the synthetic grasp,
Are just miscellaneous things and phenomena,
And so how is it possible for result to be born actually?


24. What has been produced by the synthetic grasp is not result,
And at the same time what hasn't been produced relying upon the synthetic grasp can never be result at all.

Something real, which has been produced by combination between the True Teachings and the synthetic grasp, really exists as facts,
And so how is it possible for result not to be real existence at all?

MMK (19) Examination of "Time"

1. The fact, that something exists just at the present moment, does never suggest that something has come from some place outside.
Because what is called the past is always not more than image, whicn has been thought in the brain.

The fact, that something exists just at the present moment, does never suggest that something has come from some place outside.
The fact, which has existed in the past, can be also thought as the fact, which occurs in future.


2. The fact, that something exists just at the present moment, does never suggest that something has arrived at from a different place.
The scene, which is seen now, does never appear once more again at all.

The fact that something has existed just at the present moment, does never suggest that something has arrived at from the different place, at all.
Because something, which can be seen in front of us actually, is just Reality itself.


3. The situations, which we have never supposed, still can become the real situations.
The situations, which we have never supposed, or the situations, which have occurred actually,
Those both situations can never be known beforehand.

The fact, that something exists just at the present moment, does never suggest that something has arrived at from the different place, at all. Therefore it is perfectly impossible for us to look at time directly with our eyes.


4. This world, and things and phenomena, which are maintained there, both go on relying upon progress.

The highest, the lowest, the middle, and others, have been united into one,
But at the same time those groups are preparing themselves with their own characteristics.


5. Relying upon the facts that they do not have any time, which is not continued,
Time can be grasped.
If it were true that time has characteristic to be stopping still,
The time might be impossible to be recognised at all.

If it is true that time is sometimes to be grasped, and sometimes can not be grasped,
It is impossible for us to grasp the time, which is keeping to stand still.


6. It is clear that time is making up existence,
And so when time has left from existence, how is it possible for any movement to exist anywhere?
If there were anywhere for existence not to exist, where is it possible for time to exist really even in future at all?

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

MMK (18) Examination of the Soul

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 exists something, 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. How will it be possible for a fact that a person himself or herself is always moving with the Soul together, even in future actually?

A behavior not to consider our own happines only is the nearest way for us to emanscipate ourselves from our own egoism,
And relying upon our own attitude not to worry about even our own balanced state,
Myself and another myself will begin not to disturb with each other at all.


3. Even though the fact for us to lose our interest in fame and profit,
Might suggest for us to be released from a bondage of fame and profit,
However the real existence of such a fact can not be recognized by people sufficiently.

Even though to become not to be selfish is just the fact to be emancipated from bondage to egoism,
But actually speaking it is very rare for us to find such a person, who can recognize such a kind of important fact to recognise really.


4. Even though a word "my", or "I" is a word, which has been used for countlessly many years,
Those two words are similarly looking at myself from outside of me.

The attitude to hold off me from myself seems to be included in my own Action,
And just at the place where I have got rid of such an attitude,
A kind of mental faculties and territories to bear some thing exists.


5. To live in both Action and Delusion are just emancipations,
And it is true for Action and Delusion to manifest themselves reciprocally in real situations.

Both Action and Delusion are prone to develope themselves overcoming themselves,
And in the conditions of being balanced, both Action and Delusion will become the objects of self-regulation actually.


6. The problem, which is related with the Soul, is rather a kind of disclosure, from which we are usually being kept from its secret,
And frankly speaking, what is perfectly different from the Soul, is the contents of the true teachings.

Relying upon the opinions of many people, who have got the true teachings,
What is called the Soul does not exist in the real world at all,
And relating with the negation of the Soul, actually speaking, the insistence that there is no problem of the Soul at all is just the true teachings.


7. The abstract world is just the world, which has been described utilizing only words,
Therefore the abstract world is just the world, which were as if the world like a pasture, which can be thought only relying upon supposition in our brain.

The world, which can not manifest itself by utilizing any form, might be the world, which would be never disturbed by others at all,
And so just the world, which has been keeping the quiet and serene state relying upon the balanced autonomic nervous system,
Must be just the world, which has been governed really by the principle of the Universe itself.


8. The whole things and phenomena must belong inevitably to the one of the possibility between the two, that is, whether they really exist, or not,
Therefore either they really exist, or not, there is no difference between the two on the basis of the substance.

This place, where we are just standing on, can not be said "it does not exist," but at the same time it is also impossible for us to say "it exists really."
The insistence like this is just Gautama Buddha's teaching.


9. The true teaching, which can never be the teachings to be overcome by other teachings,
And at the same time it is completely impossible for any teaching to follow on the true one at all.,
The true teaching, which has excellent flexibility,
Has excellently developed as teachings, but it has never been described through a wrong viewpoint at all.

The teaching does not have any kind of doubt at all,
But at the same time it does not have any aim other than the true teaching itself,
And it is just the Reality itself in this world, and at the same time it is manifesting characteristics in the Reality actually.


10. Something perfectly clear exists as something perfectly clear in front of us.
The reason, why for me to say so, comes from the real facts that it is not always ture for every concrete thing to be seen as exactly the same at every moment.

What is different from the real thing is enormously different from the real thing,
Very similarly to such examples, the situations, which can not cut off, are fundamentally different from the situations, which are absolutely eternal.


11. Not only for one aim, neither having no aim,
Not being instantaneous, neither being eternal,

To this world, which has those characters above,
Many people, who have got the Truth, have been keeping reverences by themselves so much as educators.


12. Even though ideas of the Soul do not have any influence to people called Buddhas, who have got the total Truth already,
People called Sravakas, who are diligent to study Buddhism theoretically,
Are not so positive to the ideas of the Soul.

And for people called Pratyeka-buddhas, who revere natural circumstances,
The knowledge of the Soul might be increasing their learning,
But for them to rely upon transcending their situations, which do not have influenced by mixing, their own progress has been tried further.

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

1. The negative attitudes to the existence of Soul is an excellent decision,
And the attitude to keep away from the idea to promote Soul is just excellent.

The friendship to all living beings is just the Rule of the Real Universe,
And seeds as results are just the next world of this world.


2. What is seen in front of us clearly, is just the contents, which are perceived by ourselves,
And Action, which is explained with words, is a kind of indulging words, which can be used in only
very distant places.

The miscellaneous contents, which are included in the words, are disrupted,
And the contents, which are related with action, are just boastful talks at last.


3. In such situations, what is conspicuously seen, can become only the subjects of the talks,
And the Action itself will become only the objects, which are thought in the mind of the person concerned, and only becomes memories.

The contents, which are perceived, are just what are represented with words,
And so they are all the cotents, which are actually practiced physically, and at the same time they are all what were expressed with words.


4. The states, that talks are continued endlessly, are just the state that the talks have never been stoped yet,
However, such a kind of state might be the stuation that informations are not transmitted at all yet,
And they are never situations that informations have been transmitted well.

That situations might be perfectly different from the contents of thoughts themselves,
And there miscellaneous memories have been perfectly interrupted.


5. It might be very happy that some materialistic comfort will continue,
But unfortunately something impure usually exists only in such a kind of materialistic area.

What are clearly seen in such situations are the universal rules of the seven factors of wistom, that is, consciousness, investigation of the law, exertion, rapture, repose, balanced state, and equanimity,
And those are the traditional methods of polishing action morally.


6. Aha! I have remembered. To establish myself comfirmly is the time, which we (young men) should have when we should experience it,
And Action makes our own Action developed directing to the original size.

Only our efforts to control ourselves will produce the real facts to control ourselves,
And so it might be impossible for real situations to produce some kind of results at all even in future.


7. So young and fresh buds have been separated from seeds,
And the stream of continuous flow is following behind it.

And then as such a continuity fruits have begun to move separating from seeds.
Such motion is never continuity of pursuing something other than itself.


8. If we describe it exactly, after leaving seeds then there is succession,
And leaving succession then the harvest of fruits after that.

Before the seeds there are fruits, and following them there are no facts of extinction or eternity at all.


9. Following such kinds of continuing facts, there are continuity of the same considerations,
And then ability of consideration will become higher further.

However there are no facts that such movements are promoted further, and the results move leaving mind, and then the results further continue to develope more, at all.


10. Because leaving from mental activity, it is possible for the continuous succession to continue,
And when the continuity of succession has been stopped, then there will be possible to get the result of getting fruits successfully.

There can never be the facts that fruits exist before action really exist, and then some kind of extinction exists, or because of that there are the eternal continuity for ever, at all.


11. In the system of the Universe it might be the most nearest successful way for us to aim at the goal straight directly,
And for doing so the most purest guidance might be the ten principal commandments.

The fruits are a kind of measure of perfect enjoyment,
And both after death, and while in life,
The fruits are included into the system of the Universe.


12. Benevolence and greatness, which are much related with our development,
Are always working for suppressing miscellaneous vices,
By becoming necessary fetters for stopping them.

Those kinds of desirable Acts might be carried out perfectly by acting the behavior actually,
And relying upon such behaviors the disirable facts can be realized in front of us.


13. In such situations I would like to proclaim once more that,
"There some kinds of fabrication might be set up as oath."

And such kinds of facts are talked by people, who have arrived at the authorized true teachings,
called Buddha, and people, who revere circumstances of daily life, called Pratyeka-Buddhas, and people, who revere theoretical teachings of Buddhism intensively, called Sravaka, in detail as memories.


14. Relying upon such a process, documents can become something immortal or eternal,
And so because of such method, the responsibility might be exists preferably how to act itself.

The earth, water, fire, and air, are also the fundamental stuff,
But among what has been produced from them,
Some are old products, which have been produced in the early days, and some are newly produced unfinished products.


15. To stop work perfectly is much different from to shelve work for a while.
The facts, that we do not shelve a work even for a while, have also some fundamental meaning similar to other example.

Therefore to continue products as far as the fruits will continue is just the production,
And in the efforts to continue the production of fruits there exist just the maintenance of production itself,
And in the realization of the Action, there exist actually the fruits.


16. To stop working might suggest to be kept from working,
And so miscellaneous Actions are relying upon just to act itself.

Miscellaneous vices are always relying upon whether we actually commit them, or not.
Therefore in such situations the Action itself is just the destroyer of vices.


17. Miscellaneous researches are all some kinds of gatherings.
And they are just such kinds of gatherings in miscellaneous parts,
But even though they are just gatherings of such kinds of parts,
At the same time they are also accumulations of Actions.

Relying upon such kinds of partial combinations, many kinds of concrete matter will become into one group,
And that is just concrete products.


18. Miscellaneous Actions are being seen as miscellaneous Actions,
And the Universe itself also manifests itself as something real itself.

In the form of belonging to the two fundamental substances, that is, the Universe and just something real,
Something, which has been matured sufficiently, has been established just solmly.


19. It is the fact that the problem of result has been passed through without noticing the time,
And the problem of death also has been stopped after being neglected.

Facts to make our efforts to suppress our pain is very painful work,
And the facts for us to divide pain and facts from each other are just our groundless expectations.


20. The quiet peacefulness, which comes from relying upon the balanced state of the autonomic nervous,
Is never to make any kind of rupture at all,
And the wandering of ups and downs in our daily life does never continue for ever.

The balanced quietness, which is related with Action, and the wandering of ups and downs in our daily life,
Both are just something for ever and something immortal,
And such principle of the Universe was what Gautama Buddha taught us.


21. Why what is called Action does not newly appear as what does not exists now?
The reason, why Action does not to do so, might be that what is called the limit of Action,
Has shut up Action into the area of Action itself.

Therefore what is called Action does never appear newly at all,
But at the same time Action does never vanish at all.


22. If Action might be only subjective idea, it might be perhaps what is eternal,
But at the same time it might be something, which is not clear in its figure.

It might be possible for Action to maintain the substance of Action because of not to do anything.
Because even what is called eternity, is also completely different from what can be produced artificially.


23. The circumstances, in which it is impossible for us to practice miscellaneous kinds of Action, come from fear wheher it is impossible for us to practice the Action, or not,
And the concrete facts for us not to able to practice Action actually, come from such circumstances to be born.

The situations, in which it is impossible for us not to practice the maintenance of keeping precepts, might be the cause of situation for us to maintain ourselves in such a kind of circumstances,
And vices in such circumstances might have come from the cause of attaching something.


24. Our action to practice something is always keeping possibility to receive some kind of disturbance,
Therefore it is not adequate for us only to lie down on our side for waiting for some surprising
luck.

Because it is perfectly impossible for righteousness and vice to exist together,
It is absolutely inevitable for us to place righteousness and vice separately.


25. Having been successful in making the situations better,
And even being successful in making the situations better,
It is just possible for us to make the situations further more better.

When we have accomplished the much more better order actually,
Following such better real conditions, our natural conditions, which have been suitable for our original nature familially, will become accomplished adequately.


26. It is just true that Action generally has its painful side,
But it is just the painful side of pain itself,
And it can never the characteristic itself, which Reality includes by itself.

However, it is never true that miscellaneous characteristics, which follows Reality, are all painful at all.
Action is just the substance, which manifests Reality itself,
And it might be something, which can not be described with words at all probably.


27. Even though both Action and pain are the three kinds of Action, which is related with body, words, and intention,
The true teachings are the contents of His words, which are proclaimed by himself.

When both Action and pain are substances, which are included by quietness of the balanced autonomic nervous system,
It can not be so clear that we rely upon the three kinds of Action, which are related with body, words, and intention, and furthermore from where do they come.


28. If it is a common situation for us not to be able to stop our ignorance as ordinary people,
It is inevitable for our desire and so forth, which are all things and phenomena keeping to bind ourselves to the secular societies, to continue the same situations for ever.

People, who are making to continue his efforts just to take pleasure in their enjoyment as their own aim of their life,
As their own possibility it is completely impossible for them to produce anything actually,
And furthermore because it is completely impossible for them to make their any change at all,
And so there is no posibility for any fact to change the situations at all completely.


29. It is not the real situation that the true teachings have been manifested themselves totally in front of us,
And at the same time it is not true that the wrong teachings are manifesting themselves in front of us totally.

Because of such situations, this world really exists as our Action itself,
Therefore because of such situations even a person, who does actually act, is not thought that he exists in this world really.


30. And if we think that there exists no person really, who has gone,
We have to think that it is impossible for us to find any more the fact that what has been born from the Act is result.

In such situations even though it was accidentally impossible for us to find a person, who is only pursuing enjoyment,
Where is it possible for us to find a such kind of person even in future at all?


31. In such a situation the system, which has been established already, might be the urgent ruler,
And the facts, that the urgent ruler has been established already, are grasping the power to hold the urgent political situations comfirmed.

The situation, which has been established already, and the situation, which has been constructing now, are essentially different,
And so actually speaking the facts that the construction has been accomplished already,
Might have a meaning absolutely.


32. In such situations the external appearance, which has been accomplished already, might be the substantial form of work, called construction,
And such kinds of action might be the outcome, which has been accomplished.

In such situations, relying upon the means called construction, what has been accomplished into something different, is what has been constructed,
And the building, which has been constructed, exists just in front of us.


33. Miscellaneous Pain, miscellaneous aim of Action, miscellaneous appearance of them, Miscellaneous workers, and those results,

In the case of leaving from the Real Action, all things and phenomena are completely the same as the fantastic city called Gandharvanagara having no prison, a mirage, or sleep, which do not really exists at all.

MMK (16) Examination of the Fusion between Restriction and Emancipation

1. In the case when the balnce of the autonomic nervous system hasn't become balanced yet,
It is not always true that the real situation of Reality is continuing the unstable situations ceaselessly.

Even in a case that miscellaneous unstable conditions hasn't become fluent yet,
The concrete situations of the real World are just the facts that the things, which exsist nearby, are similarly going on ahead.

2. Even in a case when human beings themselves are wandering about,
The five kinds of aggregates, that is, matter, perception, recognition, action, and consciousness, are relying upon material element as the place of taking a rest.

Those five kinds of necessary material elements can never become the stuff of wandering at all.


3. Leaving from action, which should be done for my merit, but when I will do my original act,
There might be tendency to wander at random in my daily life.

Such a kind of tendency, which manifest itself everywhere, is never the act, which is solely done for myself,
And so it is impossible for me to know what kind of wandering shall I do actually in future.


4. It is not always decisive that the balanced quietness of the autonomic nervous system exists.
And there what kind of facts will occur actually?

It is not always clear that the balanced state of the automic nervous system inevitably exists in the well-organized circumstances without fail.
In the well-regulated circumstances what kind of phenomena will occur actually?


5. Even though the real world, which can not be seen as having been destroyed, or as having been perfectly emancipated,
Seems to be manifesting itself as if it were the world of rules, which appear in front of us, but at the same time it seems to be the world, which is just passing through.

Ups and downs of miscellaneous human lives are just the same as the real facts themselves as before,
And even though it is not only being destroyed, but it is not only that it is always being emancipated.


6. When we feel that we are just bounded by something, there is a case that we are making our efforts to work for ourselves,
And in such a case when we are making our efforts for ourselves, it can not be called that we are bound by something other than I.

And there is possibility that when we are doing something, which is different from any kind of work bound,
And so it is difficult for us to know clearly what kind of situation can be called we are bound.


7. If we clearly intend to avoid any kind of restriction,
It is always possible for us to avoid any kind of restriction beforehand.

And when it is impossible for us to look at such a kind of real example,
For certifying the real situations that it is actually impossible to occur as I wrote in the second Chapter,
The mutual comparison between only ideas, which can be described with the three kinds of words "Gone," "Not gone," and "Is going", and the real act at the present moment "to go,"can
be explained symbolically.


8. As the same as bound situations will scarcely be loosen usually,
The state, which hasn't been bound, is absolutely impossible to be loosen at all.

Aha! It might be that when something has been bound, or not,
In the case when some restriction should be regulated,
And it might be necessary for us to have oneness, in which restriction and emancipation have been fused together into one.


9. If we, ourselves, have been cured from the state of losing our own balance in the autonomic nervous system,
The balanced state of the autonomic nervous system might visit ourselves directly.
Relying upon such a kind of method, miscellaneous conditions have been included into Reality
in being regulated condition,
And the state of perception will become much regulated condition.


10. It is different from to enter into the state of quiet and peaceful conditions relying upon the balanced autonomic nervous system with enforcement,
But at the same time it is not a kind of enforceable efforts for taking off the unstable up and down process of human life unnaturally.

In that situations, as the real conditions, it is perfectly impossible for us to find any kind of unstable up and down wandering at all,
And in the quiet and stable conditions it is completely impossible for us to find any kind of unstable wobbling at all.

MMK (15) Examination of Subjective Existence

1, The synthetic existence does not belong to subjective idea,
And it is clearly defined that the synthetic existence is based on miscellaneous kinds of Reason.

The synthetic world, which is absolutely reasonable and conspicuously clear, are bound by Reason clearly.


2. The name of subjective idea has been produced artificially into such a name,
And so it is rather difficult for us to suppose that the name might be used further even in future.

What is not artificial is called the subjective idea, and so the facts that the name hasn't been interested so much yet, might be the facts, which exists in the different world other than this.


3. Because subjective ideas do not exist really in this world,
And so how is it possible for objective sense-stimuli to exist really somewhere even in future at all?

The subjective idea is included in the objective sense-stimuli.
Because the objective stimuli can be explained with words.


4. When we are relying upon both subjective idea and objective stimuli,
In which territory can existence work well between the two areas of the subjective and the objective?

When the both, subjective ideas and objective stimuli, are realistic,
Existence will become able to be real for the first time.


5. Even though there is possibility that something really exists, but it hasn't become accomplished yet,
It is completely impossible for something, which does not exist actually, to be accomplished perfectly.

The fact, that something exists as a different thing, is also included in the area of existence,
And so there is no problem for many people to insist about things, which do not exist at all.


6. Subjective ideas and objective stimuli, and at the same time what just exists and what does not exist are similarly,

And even though there are cases to be seen, and there are cases not to be seen,
Gautama Buddha strongly admonished them to recognise as actual imitations very strongly.


7. Katyayana was not so affirmative to the two kinds of discussions whether something exists, or not.

On the discussion whether something does exist, or does not exist,
Those discussions have been excluded by Katyayana because those discussions do not have any special brilliance at all.


8. If Reality has been existing since the ancient time as Reality,
It might be perhaps impossible for everyone to deny the real existence of Reality itself.

Because it may be perfectly impossible for a different existence, which has been separated from the original Reality, manifests itself actually.


9. In the case when we actually rely upon the original Reality,
How is it possible for any kind of lie to manifests itself as the opposite conditions against the real example?

When we rely upon the original Reality, how is it possible for what kind of true teachings to manifests itself as a perfectly different example, which is opposite to the true teachings actually.


10. The real facts, which has been keeping the Eternity, has been continuing its real existence actually,
And it is completely wrong that the continuous observation has been cut actually.

Therefore on the problem whether the continuous existence of Eternity exists, or not, it is much clever for us not to express the opinion decisively.


11. Even though if we rely upon the subjective idea, there might be some kind of Universe, which is similar to be as a kind of receptacle,
But if we actually deny the real existence of the Real World,
It might become impossible for Eternity to exist really on the earth.

In the time before anything hasn't been existing at all, the idea of the present moment can never exist at all,
Might be too much attached to the idea of extinction completely.

MMK (14) Examination of Fusion

1. An object to be seen, an action to look at, and a man to see,
Those three kinds of brilliant colorful separations are produced by combinations between two strings and two strings.

It is not always true that all things and phenomena in the world are in relation of fusion without fail,
But there is also a constructed relation of one thing and another one thing,
Which is just a structure of mutual relation between two and two, that is just the sum total of one plus one.


2. Following the method above, the excitement of vision, the excited situation, and the joy from the excitement, produce the function of vision.

And what are maintained as things, which have been left, are just symbols of vanity, that is, pain, remains, altars, and so forth.


3. A perfect fusion does never rely upon other than the perfect fusion,
And it does never belong to anything other than the perfect fusion.

What exists in the state of fusion deserves to be appreciated,
And it also deserves to be presented to others.
The state, which has been fused perfectly, does not have any posibility for it to be wandering in a street without having any watcher at all.


4. An action to produce a very characteristic and valuable work is perfectly different from producing some cheaper thing at all.
Such a kind of valuable production of work can not be found without having very careful test at all.

In the case of problem in what kind of area and with what kind of increasing method, we shall make our efforts,
The change of method can never appear to a passive direction at all.


5. A small kind of individual mistake has actually produced very clear mistake.
However such a kind of mistakes haven't manifested any difference from the true teachings at all.

It is clear for such a kind of small mistakes to exist,
But at the same time the concrete facts, that those kinds of mistakes exist really,
Have not been noticed by many people yet.


6. In the case, when something individual and another something individual have been combined into one, into an individual,
There might be possibility that those individual things can be combined into one as something valuable, which will be continuing further.

However, in the case where something individual and another something individual have been combined with each other,
Any kind of increased special value hasn't increased,
And even in future such kind of increased special value does not follow actually.


7. Relying upon something different, it is completely impossible for us to notice something, which is completely different from the other one.
Even though we have relied upon something, which is different from something, which we have indicated fast,
It might be perfectly impossible for us to know somehing, which is existing absolutely on the opposite side, at all.

Even though we rely upon something, which does not exist really at all, or rely upon something, which is perfectly different from what we have found, it is completely impossible for something a little different to exist actually, or for something concrete to exist really in the similar situations.


8. The facts, which are called fusion and are having the habits for more than one kind of things to be fused together into one,
Do not rely upon concrete things, or are not included into something concrete, at all.

In such conditions, it is perfectly impossible for us to recognise situations to be suffered, to be bound together, or to be gathered, at all.

MMK (13) Examination of Real Action

1. In the case that this world is wrongly governed by a government of plunderer, who is almost the same as a robber,
Many people have spoken that the situation of human societies like that have to produce too much benevolent gods too many .

In such situations many plunderers, who are very similar to robbers, are existing in everything,
Therefore many kinds of real acts have been influenced by the plunderers,
And so many kinds of important things have become useless completely.


2. What always damage Reality is the world, which plunderers are governing, without fail.
In those countries anything, which has possibility to be plundered, can never be found at all.
And such a kind of world is talked just as the world, where anything can not be found being able to be plundered at all.

Such a world is talked as the world, which has just ability to bring happiness,
And it is the world which is the balanced quietness and the bright and brilliantly bright world.


3. Miscellaneous existences, very poor conditions of life, and the state of another world other than this,
Are separated so much from our visual function, with which we look at the Real World as the function of eyes.

However, even though it is different from the subjective idea,
We can think that the pure existence itself is real existence.
Miscellaneous existences are in the balanced state quietly,
And it is just motion itself.


4. Where is another world other than this world in fact?
It seems to be too difficult for me to recognise that the subjective ideas themselves are just the different world itself.

Where does the different world other than this world exist in fact?
It is very difficult for me to think that the subjective ideas are just another world.
Subjective ideas themselves are always seen by us at every moment.


5. It might be impossible for the existence of different world to belong to this world actually,
And at the same time it is perfectly impossible for the existence of another world other than this world to be attached to the different world at all.

As a fact that a young man does not become old suddenly,
It is also impossible for an old man to become old suddenly at all.


6. Accumulations in the real world can be mistaken sometimes as a fact in the other world,
As condensed milk sometimes has been mistaken as coagulated milk.

Leaving from condensed milk, something different can exists in a different thing,
Therefore it might be possible for condensed milk to become coagulated milk in future probably.


7. In a case when a state, where the exsistence of unbalanced situation of the autonomic nervous system even a little bit, exists,
Then it suggests that there may be no situation of balanced autonomic nervous system at all.

However, in the case that there is no balanced situation at all,
It is a real fact that it might be completely impossible for everyone to recognise by himself, or herself that he or she is not balanced, even in future, at all.


8. In the stage that it is possible for us to look at the balanced stituations in everything,
Many people, who have got the true teachings already,
Are insisting that it is not necessary for us to be hasty for explanations with words.

That kind of balanced and serene viewpoint is what is insisted by people, who have got the steadfast Truth already,
And it is clearly possible for us to proclaim that those opinions are just the Truth, which can be maintained comfirm for ever.

MMK (12) Examination of Pain

1. Action, which I did, action, which others did, and action, which I and others both did,
Are never reasonable at all.

Only one aim called pain has become only one aim to pursue actually,
However, Pain, the only one aim, does not have any relation with what has been actually done.


2. Even when something, which I have done, exists clearly, it is not clear where some kinds of development of my work has existed, or not.

That situations produce aggregates and this world,
Because aggregates exist totally together clearly.


3. Because of the existence of miscellaneous things and phenomena,
When this world seems to be different from this world,
It might be also that miscellaneous things and phenomena manifest themselves as Reality, which can not be described with words.

It might be true that action, which is done by outsiders, sometimes produces some kind of Pain,
But in such a situation it might be the fact that relying upon many kinds of outsiders and the personality of the main person himself too, and at the same time because of Reality itself, which can not be described with words,
The real situations might have been produced by themselves actually.


4. In the case when the personality of myself has produced Pain,
Actually speaking, it is completely the same as if there were no Pain.

The personality of myself is also only one among many people,
And what has produced Pain, is also an action of myself.


5. In a case that Pain has been produced by other's personality,
Because of such a background, there might be possibility that the gloomy conditions in front of me,
Might become brighter than before.

In the case that the facts, which have been produced by others, are just the cause of painful conditions,
It is very difficult for us to think that what has really happened was as if it were nothing.


6. In the case that what other's personality has produced is Pain,
What is just which can be called other's personality?

If it is in the case that any kind of Pain can not be felt,
It might be that because the cause of the Pain has been acted already,
Therefore there is only one possibility for us to be hasty by cooperating with others for accomplishing the concrete work as soon as posible.


7. When the small job, which is related with the original work, hasen't been accomplished yet,
There might be no possibility for us to worry about any kind of Pain, or the facts, that the job has been done by others yet.

Even in a case that someone of others intentionally has done such a kind of disturbance,
The concrete facts, might be much related with the action, which has been done by the main person, who has been leading the total work, at all.


8. Action, which has been done by the person himself, is not so painful,
Because the Pain, which has occured actually, might be just an action, which is done in the real dimension following Reality.

Because in this case another person might 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 for example,
There might be possibility that the Pain has been produced by only one person between the two.

When the Pain has not been produced by the other, but it has been produced by himself,
How is it possible for Pain to be unreasonable actually like that?


10. It is never painful for us to select only one object exclusively,
Therefore it might be rather difficult for us to esteem the value of accumulating the four philosophies together.

And it is just very common examples that there are so many people existing in the worid, who are outsiders of miscellaneous philosophical teachings,
Therefore it is also actually true that the Buddhist philosophy, which has been constructed by the four layers of philosophies, is actually true.

MMK (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 proclaimed his own opinion, which is different from others.

The wandering in our human daily life is never inferier to our starting point of our life,
Therefore even our reins, which regulates ourselves, should never be placed at the inferior rank at all.


2. Other than the highest rank, or neither than the lowest rank,
Where does the middle rank between the highest and the lowest exist in fact?

However, actually speaking, because of such a hesitating attitude in the case of ordinary people,
They usually do not show their decisive strong steps forward either before action, or after action easily.


3. Before birth has existed, aging and death had belonged to future.

If there were no aging, no death, or death, or birth actually existing,
Desire to bear children would have also immortal and eternal meaning.


4. As far as births are continuing one by one endlessly,
Agings and deathes also have the value of endless continuity without fail.

If it did not have any value for birth to be restricted at all,
It is impossible for us to recognise the value of aging or death at all.


5. Aging, death, and even birth, those are similarly never restricted at all,

Therefore desire to die and desire to have a child,
Might be both unreasonable probably.


6. In such problems, being too much fast, being too much late, or being rather moderate,
Those miscellaneous differences of progressive speeds, do not appear in the competitive situations,

However at the same time, because of making miscellaneous facts and births pharmonized,
Aging and death do never exist for such actual reason at all.


7. Something, which has been produced actually, and the efforts to produce itself,
Are completely combined into one,
And something, which is made as the aim, and the direct expression of it, are just identified into one.

Sense perception and the efforts to transmit it to others, are also constructed perfectly into one,
And in the problem of aim, it seems that something might be the aim,
But actually speaking, it is always the fact that, what is thought as the aim, is always so vague,
That it is completely impossible for us to recognise it.


8. Before the time when we haven't understood what the end of human life is,
It is impossible for us to find loneliness in our daily life yet.

Before we have known the end of our human life yet,
Every thing in the world is full of vigor and strength completely.
