MMK (23) Examination of Delusion

1. What was born from desire, violent emotion, hatred, temptations, are just discussed.

Because both good omens and bad omens are manifesting themselves together,
It seems clear that both are going to occur clearly.


2. Both good omens and bad omens are going to produce miscellaneous Delusions.
Because in this world only just conspicuously clear facts are existing as they are.

However those good omens and bad omens are only subjective decisions,
And so those are perfectly unreliable at all.
Therefore it is perfectly impossible for us to think that the enormously severe pain is real.


3. Because miscellaneous Souls do not have any relation with the problem whether they are real existence, or not,
How is it possible for us to insist that those Souls are just accomplished articles, which have concrete forms exactly?

The Souls do never have any relation with the problem whether Souls really exist, or not,
And so how is it possible for miscellaneous pains actually to be concrete things, or phenomena at all?


4. Something, which can be seen as some kind of receptacle, is this world,
But pain can never be seen as some kind of real entity.

Something vague can never be something concrete,
Therefore even something, which is so severely painful, can not be something concrete.


5, The situations, in which someone actually is looking at his own body, are the real situations of miscellaneous pains,
And so, matter, perception, consideration, action, and consciousness, such five kinds of aggregates,
Do never exist really as severe pains at all.

The situations, in which someone actually is looking at his own body,
Are producing miscellaneous severe pain,
And so the fact itself, that we are just placed in the miscellaneous pains,
are never the same as the five aggregates, that is, matter, perception, consideration, action, and consciousness, at all.


6. The contents of thoughts, which have been produced by the subjective consideration,
Will never become the contents of considerations, which many people will accept smoothly.
The contents, which are containing many kind of favorite matters and unfavorite matters,
Can become reciprocal very easily.

Even though it is very clearly decided what kinds of selection will be done among many selections,
To each person, it is very flexible for their personal selection to change between favorite one and unfavorite one.


7. Form, sound, taste, feeling, smell, or the Rule of the Universe, each is individually independent miscellaneous sense of perception.

However, miscellaneous entities, which are belonging to desire, darkness, or delusion. are always changing places with each other.


8. Form, sound, taste, feeling, smell, or the Rule of the Universe, each is individually independent miscellaneous factors.

And they are very similar to a fantastic city called Gandharva, which does not need any jail, a mirage, or sleep.


9. Even at the bad kind omen, therefore much more at the good kind of omen,
Where can we find the facts, so splendid things and phenomena are so many existing, even in future, at all?

Even to become a Demon, or even to become a human being, it is always possible for human beings to become,
And even in a case of images in a mirror they are always showing themselves as the same images as they are.


10. There is no chance where we are not careful to a good omen.
Because if we want to draw out a bad omen, it is always possible for us to do so.

It is always clear that such a kind of omen must be always a good kind of omen without fail.
Therefore if it were in the case of good omen, it is not always a case of omen, which we should pick it up without fail.


11. Even in a case of bad omen, it is not true that people usually do not show any care to the bad omen at all.
Because in the case of good omen, people are usually expecting so much to notice the good omen with intuitive ability enormously.

Such a kind of situations are also clear even in the case of bad omens too.
And relying upon such situations people usually like to clarify bad omens much more than good omens naturally,
In actual situations bad omens do not have even a scarce chance to be noticed at all.


12. When a good omen hasn't been noticed yet, where is it possible for strong passion to occur even in future?

When a bad omen hasn't been noticed, where is it possible for deep malice to exist even in future?


13. As our native characters can never be eternal, what we are always keeping, has also the character to change its direction reversely at every moment.

When we have reflected the existence of what is never unstable situation in the serene state of the balanced autonomic nervous system,
Where can we find any existence of the situation, which are having the tendency to split to the two opposite directions seperately?


14. It is true that what is innate is never eternal,
And all trials to plunder anything from others are always based upon some kinds of delusion.

If the idea that there is nothing, which is eternal, has been maitained at all,
In the case of being kept in the serene state of the balanced autonomic nirvous system,
Any delusion can never occur at all.


15. The states, which are bound by something actually, are restrictions,
And a person, who has been bound by something,
Has always been stolen his own freedom actually by something without fail.

In that case the serene state has been pervading through every thing totally,
And so any kind of restriction can not be found at any place at all.


16. Even in the case of that there is nothing at all, or in the case where people have grasped some thing already,
There are actually that the decisions have been separated into two parts already,
And at the same time the decision has been identified into one already.

There are the cases, where there is not any kind of delusion at all,
But at the same time there are also nothing other than delusions at all.


17. In the situations that there is anything, which can be included into delusions at all,
There are cases, in which so many delusions have gathered actually.

At the same time in the situations, where it is perfectly impossible for us not to find anything other than delusions,
There are cases that so many kinds of delusions have gathered together enormously.


18. Even though I myself haven't enter into delusion, and at the same time I am not in idea,
There is some times an example that so many kinds of delusions have been come up together already.

Even though it is just what I have thought in my mind,
As it is difficult for me to understand the reason, why I myself have had such ideas,
There is a case that so many delusions have been collected to me without noticing any reason.


19. Even before we haven't known what kind of name shall we put to the matter at all,
There is possibility that so many Delusions are existing actually.

Even before any kind of delusions haven't been noticed,
Where is it possible for the arrival of Delusions to come at all?


20. Subjective ideas can never be born as some kinds of existence,
And at the same time it is also impossible for objective ideas to manifest themselves at all.

When there is no appearance of both subjective idears and objective ideas,
Where shall we be successful to drive away the arrival of Delusions actually?


21. Just ourselves, the innate purity of ourselves, or our gentle conditions, are always possible for us to recognize as ourselves.

Just ourselves, the innate purity of ourselves, or our gentle conditions, can never be Delusion at all.


22. Having no Soul, the innate purity of ourselves, or our gentle conditions, can be always recognized at every moment.

When we have clearly noticed what is different from us, or not innate impurity,
The very severe pain can never become any kind of recognizable object at all.


23. Relying upon such a method, ignorance might be denied,
And so we can be emancipated from the attitude of denying Delusion.

Relying upon ignorance might be the same as relying upon suppression,
And utilizing demonstrative vanity, and so forth, they want to suppress everything.


24. An accident, which has occurred following some subjective ideas, are very fearful pain,
And it might belong to some kind of receptacle.

With what reason, why a popular name is so much recommended actually?
What is recomending miscellaneous subjective ideas so strongly?


25. By relying upon subjective ideas, some times, micellaneous strong pains are existing in something obscure,
And something, which works for a role of something like receptacle, is usually included in something.

With what reason, why miscellaneous abstract existences are requested so trongly?
