FOREWORD
XLI bondage and emancipation cannot be explained; but according to the theory of the Vijñanavadins, in which everybody is admitted to have a different chain of momentary consciousness, bondage may be explained as a condition of the Vijñana which is surobarged with impure tendencies; and emancipation as a condition of the Vijnana which is free from all impure tendencies, conformations, etc. There is a good deal of similarity between the Åtman of the Advaitins and the Vijñana of the Vijñånavadins, and the only difference between the two seems to be that while the Advaitins formulate the Atman as eternal the Vijñânavadins consider their Vijñâna to be momentary. While refuting the Pudgalavada of the Vatsiputrigas, our author says that Buddha never refuted the Pudgala simply because he had to look to the mental condition of his pupils. As he was not bold enough to repudiate the theory he taught that it cannot be known separately. In some places the Pudgala is said by him as the bearer of burdens, and he meant thereby the chains of the momentary Skandhas collectively as Pudgala and as the bearer of burdens".
In the Sthirabhavapariksi detailed information is given by both S'antarakṣita and his commentator on the most interesting doctrine of momentariness or the Kşaņikavada. He says if the entities are aocepted as momentary, the helping conditions help the material cause in producing a particular effect. In the first moment the helping conditions and the material cause assembled in one place change themselves in the next moment in such a way as to be capable of producing the result, and in the next moment the result is produced. The assisting conditions may also be called the causes, as they help the material cause in producing the effect. 1. Paggalaplaanitat a fageti
